Ankle wellies

[Dkb]

My father has a bad back and finds putting on and particularly taking off Wellington boots difficult.

He’s looking to buy a ankle high Wellington boot and is looking for the best brand. Price not a real issue as is extremely important to his day to day work.

I was looking at la chameau but they state on their website that they’re ankle boot are really only for garden use and then I suppose wouldn’t last with the level of walking/working my father would be doing


Suggestions please.

Wouldn't those Le Crueset zip up wellingtons be another option?

simple dunlop puroforts .......then take a pair of hd scissors and cut off each boot ...nice and straight about just above the the dunlop writing on the side ...
these are then comfortable boots that can be slipped on with out the helping hand ...but when buying of course make sure to get the correct size .......not too loose ...not too tight.....

but beware the deeper puddles .......

Never thought of that actually. Do the zips last in muck etc?

Are puroforts light?

I presume they would be when tops cut off [emoji16]

Aigle do some ankle boots, just a shorter version of there shooting wellies. I got some for my dad a couple of years ago. They’re called Aigle Parcours 2 Botillion short wellies.

Have you tried the garden centre? They may have some. I think Dunlop do ankle wellies but garden centre may be better place to find them than ag store.
