Best Wellingtons for work?

[milkloss]

the aigle parcour iso 2 have the same neoprene lining as muck boots, so yes, they're warm

Can you get them without that annoying buckle on the side? Couldn't find out on tinterweb!

Ah, there are others that think flappy buckles are an irritation. I bought a pair of chameaus without buckles: they were to replace a pair of Aigles that were comfy enough, but didn't have a long life.

It surprises me that nobody ever seems to suggest Argyll wellies that are now made by Hunter.
Worn them all my life and have not had anything better. The green plastic alternatives are just awful, rub my feet and are cold or sweaty or both.
If I am out in snow I might get cold feet but not any other time.

You can now get them neoprene lined as well.

After reading this thread, I bought a pair of skellerup insulated boots. Sole has started to let go on them after 2 months. Not good for 90 dabs I'd say.....

Hi Happy at it, Sorry to hear that you have had some problems with your Quatro's. I've sent you a DM so we can try and sort the problem.

 

[Happy at it]

Cheers for getting back to me. Have never bought anything on the Internet before, so thought there would be no guarantee/comeback with them..... I was very impressed until now and found them very comfortable. I hadn't bought them from you though, should I still contact you or speak to abbeydale.

Just a word of thanks to skellerupben. Spoke on the phone, he said that he has had next to no complaints with the skellerup boots he's sold over many years and offered to send a replacement pair, which I received yesterday. Not many would do that these days. Cheers.....

Best wellies are the cheapest!

I've just had a pair of Le chameaus replaced by Uttings; they developed a leak within 10months. I'd expect a replacement no matter where I bought them from, if they don't last at least a year: hell, it's not expecting much, surely!

I've had all the top brands, just about, and they are all disappointing as regards longevity. Muck Boots are worn out in 6months.

Oh, and count me as another who hates those flappy buckles.

What is the best at the moment?

I am a Skellerup enthusiast after years of cheap but never lasting and ill-fitting boots. Bit costly but have lasted well...so far.

I have land maters that have split, but have lasted well I think

They are pretty hard on your feet I used to wear them, aigle last me about 18 months where as the land masters struggled to do a winter without splitting!

+1 my non insulated boots have just done their second summer and still like new

I have a pair of non insulated for nice days and insulated ones for less nice ones. The insulated ones get a lot more wear!

Often wear insulated for AM milking and normal for the PM. Ultimate luxury.

My insulated ones have done 2 winters. But towards the end of late winter 1 foot felt slightly damp at the end of the day. So maybe I've a slight leak

 

[Greenbeast]

i have found with muck boots and aigle insulated that the neoprene heels go in no time at all and then the friction pulls my socks down within 100m of walking out the door....

Not sure what will be best next time round

Still very happy with mine best boots I've had!
Added some non insulated to my insulated this spring, perfect.

I've found they often crack on the ribbing over the foot. Normally on the left foot. I guess from driving.
