Comfortable wellies

[Somerset Farmer]

I have developed sore painful heels when working in wellies . At the moment I wear 'nora' boots and find them very durable ,but they have now become uncomfortable to wear despite using inserts, as there is no softness in the sole or heels. Has anyone any recommendation for a comfortable pair of wellies with a 'soft heel and sole' to enable me to wear them with more comfort. Thanks for your help in advance

Dunlop purafoot or Muckboots ?

Dickies landmaster are comfortable and good value

Bekina steplites come with a padded sole insert from memory. May even be able to put a thicker one in.

Le chameau

Better in the sole for pushing in fencer stakes

Le chemeau’s are expensive but mine are like slippers. Wear them for work all through winter if not in workshop. Worn for something every day. The last pair lasted 11 years before springing a leak. Have superglued a tiny hole and still on the go.

+1 for Le chameau they are extremely comfortable and very warm, I recommend the full zip version if you have wide feet.

Love my le chameaus only gripe is not much ankle support

My Aigle with 5mm of Neoprene in are very comfy. You could always buy some gel or neoprene insoles for your current boots, I had to have some in my boots when I had Le Chameau

Tried Gumleaf last time I bought a pair. Vibram soles limit thorns in the feet. Very comfy for me. Cheaper than some makes of neoprene about £120. I walk a lot in them when its wet and never had any sore feet etc.

Agile for me, have ordinary and neoprene. Tried Le Chamau but didn’t like the lack of ankle support, gave them to my son and he loves them

Another +1 for la chameu (neoprene lined) also, invest in some decent 100% wool socks.

Err, I hate gum boots with a passion most of the time, these are Council issue ones ( I only wear them when on toilet duties ), but they seem ok. Certainly better to wear all day than any others I’ve worn in the past. Mack

But yeah, still horrible hot sweaty things to wear . . .

I have tried a lot over the years and now wouldn't have any other than these

Neoprene, very light, soft sole, no shank and very comfortable. The only boot I can get a year or more out of.
