Are le chameau worth it.?

[Kentishfarmer]

Bought the GF some zip up ones now leaking under a year in. Don't pay the premium for a zipper buy their standard neoprene lined ones first pair lasted me 7 years, with the last 4 being heavy livestock farm work. A lot of people say the quality of the rubber has dropped in the last few years though.
I think generally quality footwear is worth paying for you only get one pair of feet!

Save yourself a fortune and buy a pair of Dedito wellies instead. Every bit as good, and only £75 .
Or better still get a pair of their boots as well!

How do you find the sizing of the Dedito wellies?

i bought a pair (leather lined) 15 years ago, they were less trendy or expensive then !

find them warm and comfortable

still have them today and the are in good condition, im certainly not a daily welly wearing kind of farmer though, us notil guys can walk fields in slippers

They do come in handy shooting on other people s farms though

Christ, you must almost never where them, or not go shooting very often.
My zip ups last 4 years before of shooting only before they split on the sides next to balls of feet.
had some chameaus when I was an agronomist and got 2 years of everyday field walking out of them before splitting.
My aigles do 2 years of full cattle farming/dog walking before they go the same way.
All are good wellies, but aren’t going to put up with farming. But then, I don’t think any wellies do.

Buy a size bigger than normal, and you’ll be grand !

I don't wear them a lot, maybe half a dozen or so days shooting a year and do walks when very wet and muddy, no livestock and I'm not joking when I say I can walk our no-till crop any day in trainers when I drive tractors I tend to wear a workboot

My redbacks get the most use, ok for office, crop walking, tractor driving or light workshop duty

 

[CopperBeech]

do they go outside in the wet , actually do they go outside at all

They don’t need to, they already know everything.

 

[Hindsight]

use 2 plastic shopping bags as liners

Waitrose or will Lidl do????

I know you weren’t being serious, I just thought it was an exceptionally long time to have a pair of wellies. For comparison, I inherited some Aigles off my grandfather that were virtually new, but about 10-15 years old. They lasted me about 6 months before the split, probably because the rubber had perished.
You must look after yours very well.

 

[Castle Farm]

Really ! Surrey and Hampshire wear.

 

[Northeastfarmer]

Aigles dont seem as pompous

 

[An Gof]

They are fine for walking the dog or a days shooting but otherwise forget it. I went through two leather pairs and a neoprene pair in 18 months. I now have a pair of Aigle which have 5mm of neoprene in for winter and a cheap unlined set for occasional summer use, 2 years on they are both still going strong.

I did but they refused to pay out and said it was due to my care and use of them!

My supplier didn’t question it. New pair provided.

 

[Chopsy Varmint]

I never found them that warm and the quality seems to get a lost worse, If you want warm feet, use 2 plastic shopping bags as liners

+1. Bonus is they also stop shite and straw that falls inside from sticking to your socks.

 

[Classichay]

no theyre sh*te and they wont even honour warranties on a 6 month old pair of boots. 278.00 worth of wellingtons, would be better getting a pair of Nord thermals which have cleats like tractor tyres for 80.00 and a pair of deditos for the summer and spring months. and still have money left over. Best kept for the estate agents or hare coursers who wouldnt do an actual day of real work in their lives.
