Best rated Wellies

Dedito . They are fantastic. But small sized, so get a bigger size than normal. Can’t recommend them enough !

I got through 3 pairs of Le Chameau in 18 months they are not built for work just shooting and walking the dog. I now have a cheap pair of Dunlops for occasional summer use and a pair of Aigle wellies which were as expensive as Le Chameau but with 5mm of neoprene in for winter use. They are worn all day everyday for atleast 5 months and after two years are still going strong.

2 year warranty with Le Chameau https://www.lechameau.com/gb/warranty

I have claimed on this through a local supplier once and had boots replaced no questions asked.

O

What would be classed as a last resort? I only get mine off May to August if lucky

I use Le Chameau (the ones with the tractor tread soles). One good pair and a pair for pig work. Once the good pair get rough they get demoted to pig work. It’s about an 18-24 month rotation. I wear boots more than anything else as they’re comfortable. Well worth £130ish.

Been wearing these for years but mostly I prefer to wear these as I have a broken big toe not healed properly and like the extra support;

Ive just bought - https://www.bekina-boots.com as per Mole valleys advert. Comfortable but will let you know in a year or so

My last pair of Land Master split on both heals within six months!

I really liked my steplite x but after 125 days
Gone back to purofort as my size steplite x were our of stock but not as comfy.
Going to send them back as not good enough

Same ones that I wear (neoprene lined) and I love them. So comfortable

Bekina. At last I've got good wellies after years of trying. No splits after a year, which I'm not used to. Different models are confusing though, so you have to watch out. The same name - Bekina Steplite - can be townee tread or country tread, so take care to identify you're ordering the one you want.

If you want to prolong the life of any wellies, never squat down in them. It makes the rubber buckle up on the sides and stretch on the sole, and that's where they give up in due course.

Do they need to be thermo boots? I live in purport safety plus wellies, one good fit for summer and one size up for double socks in winter (I'm finding wellies wick better in the heat than those awful dealer boot things. Redbacks nearly rotted my feet off a few years ago!). Only problem I have is stubbing the toe and cutting through the rubber to the toe cap.... lets water in then. I get the ones with the vibram sole which seems a bit harder.

just can’t recommend these enough. I typically stand the majority of a 12 hour day Milking etc and these are great. Took them on our 10 mile per day pheasant hunting walks and my feet never hurt,

The Alaskan sneaker they call them

Great wellies tough and comfortable and not expensive (around £75 I think )

 

[Aspiring Peasants]

Another vote for Bekina. Would not have anything else now after trying many others including some that cost a lot more. Have 2 pairs for the farm, one permanently has leggings on them and a third "posh" pair for shooting. Height of decadence I know but some people pay more for one pair than these 3.

Someone in this house keeps leaky wellies for dry weather jobs..................

Just bought a pair of these hoggs wellies will see if they do the job been wearing buck boot neoprene cant get a year out of them

What would be classed as a last resort? I only get mine off May to August if lucky

Site work in the winter months, tb testing at neighbours and working in markets there good for bio security reasons, tend to get sweaty feet then athlete's foot if I wear wellies for any length of time.

 

[ollie989898]

Bekina but I think best to avoid the steel soled version as they have less flex in them? Mine split at the heel but that was after a lot of use.

I have foolishly bought a pair of those Dunlop ones (not the ones that look they were made by camoplast and have caterpillar tracks) and they are too floppy and don't offer any ankle support- damn near twisted my ankle in their first outing.

 

[Poorbuthappy]

Surely it's a very personal preference thing?
I bought a pair of expensive (for me) neoprene lined aigles. Dont find them especially comfortable, and far too hot. I dig them out if we have snow or especially frosty weather occasionally.

Have tried on various others in mvf, but keep coming back to puraforts. A little variable on durability, but usually get 12 months plus out of them. Don't buy them in mvf though, far too expensive.

Hate wellies

Same here. I would much sooner have a pair of lace up waterproof workboots
