They do a foot cream too! Can get a twin pack

Those feet might want a skim of body filler over them tho

I thought so but couldn't find it in boots so got the hand cream. Nothing worse than sore cracked feet.

Or get the blue tub of feet stuff.

O'Keeffe's is brilliant stuff though. Swear by working hands at lambing

Just looked the hand cream is cheaper than the foot cream, so being a tight farmer he can make do with the hand stuff

Me and socks, hmm. I used to go through socks at an alarming rate, but now buy Solognac socks from Decathlon.

I'd say Swanndri were the best socks. Not made in the UK or cheap though.

They're a bit niche aren't they... 75% of England won't can wear them - they don't accommodate webbed toes

 

[neilo]

Without doubt Pathfinders are the only recommendation I've made on here you've tried and agree with

No other sock gets close to them
