Latest wellies updates??

[pear]

I've got Skellerups with all the trimmings (neoprene lined, steel toe caps & sole).
They're heavy, and need a lot of effort to get off - if there's no boot jack available I'll leave them on until there is! But they don't slip on wet concrete, they're warm and are really lasting well.
Definitely a yard boot not a field boot, mud sticks to them walking across a field far more than cheaper wellies.

The non safety ones have a different tread and make a better 'field boot'.
They're a good warm boot and cow sh!t proof too.

My first pair were the steel toe ones and the non safety ones are a lot lighter and easier to get on and off. I've had the non insulated and they're comfy but no where near as warm on the legs.

Used to use them, but latest ones seemed to be real soft. Won't even stand up on their own.

There are more than one type of Le Chameau, the ones with the check lining (MVF sell these) as you say do not stand up on their own, whereas the ones with blue neoprene do stand up on their own and seem more of a boot.

Bekina are also generally cheaper than the competition so if they die in 24 months it's not really the end of the world.

They also do a thing that looks like you have caterpillar tracks and a fake fur lined boot- these are more aimed at the winter months or those of you who live in Exmoor and thus wear boots 24/7 even in the house.

The Dunlop competitor to the steplite is pants- I've had both and wish I hadn't bought the Dunlops.

Aigle here, lasted years and years, tried bekina, couldn't get on with the fit which was a pity as they seem good wellies, gone back to aigle now life's too short to be wearing uncomfortable wellies

I know this has been coverd so many times but I can't really find an up to date opinion,

Currently running dunlop purafoot field things, both me and the wife had them 18 months mine have split down the front and wife's have split on the bottom. We have tried so many different flavours but never satisfied. These ones are too short and fill up with straw, etc etc..

So what's everyone's up to date go to Wellington boot non safety, warm, cattle s**t proof and chemical proof.. if such a thing exists...

I've always used Dunlop Purofort for years but they just don't last anymore, splitting and rotting. Swapped to Solidur this winter, so far so good.

Which aigle 1s do you buy? When you say years and years is that like 3 years plus

 

[PSQ]

Skellerup Quattro’s, had them for about 4 years and I’ve only just replaced them as the lining was giving way. Toasty warm in winter, and with a pair of heal and arch support insoles they fit like a pair of trainers. Worth every penny.

Parcours iso insulated ones lasted the longest for me, 11 years, mind I wore them alongside a non insulated pair for 5ish years as I'm not a big fan of insulated wellies. Think the gaffer has the most fetching pair of wellies I've seen in a while

On my third season with "Percussion" ,suffered blackthorn damage but repaired ok with some superglue.

 

[Wilksy]

Has anyone tried, or can you even get the uk, those chocolate brown ones with the cream sole that all the Alaskans wear?

 

[andybk]

Chameau neoprene here third pair ive had , recent ones couldnt go wrong for a hardly worn pair for £5 at carboot sale lol

 

[Macsky]

Had dunlops for years, but last time tried these cheapos on and much prefer them, they’ve done well over a year now, will buy them again in a heartbeat. Comfortable, grippy, stable ( I have a habit of going over my ankles )

Aigle Parcours 2 for summer months, Parcours 2 ISO for the winter. I’ve had a pair of each for at least 5 years. You wouldn’t want to wear an ISO pair in the summer but in the winter they feel as comfortable as your favourite slippers. Annoyingly my ISO pair has a small puncture in one of them that lets water in very slowly but apart from that they wouldn’t be worn out. My son has had Le Chameau wellies for years and has just swapped to Aigle, he thinks the Aigle’s just pip the Le Chameau’s for comfort.

Had a pair of Dunlop Puraforts that split at the heel. 6 months old. Manufacturer said it was either a chemical - TOES splashed with iodene - or lack of cleaning - not the case at all. What total rubbish. Last pair of Dunlops I will ever buy.

 

[Dead Rabbits]

Same thing I always recommend. I get the 15 inch. They have all different kinds but I prefer these. I usually get 2 years. Worn pretty much every single day. I even pheasant hunt and fish in them.

I like that there is no shank in them and they are soft and flexible with really good grip on concrete

 

[mac102004]

I like the dunlops for winter, the thermo kind big heavy things. Lucky to get a year out of them though so I switch to something lighter in the summer, get more life out of them. I like Bekina the best for summer.

I was given a pair of Grubs to try, they were OK, almost lasted a year. Grip on concrete wasn't great but I've had worse. I ran them through winter but they were no good in the cold.

Aigle

I totally agree Aigle are exceptionally good boots, I was the Ambassador for Aigle in the early 2000, then they changed uk management who decided fashion products over CountryWear, I haven't seen a pair of Agile wellies for sale for years..!

supremely comfortable and the neoprene lining a godsend for warm toes in the winter
I love them but, like everything, they may not suit all. Agree, they aren’t cheap

 

[Matthew Britton]

Most here in the land of the french welly seem to wear Aigle here but the cheap rust coloured ones with light colour soles. Few le chameau but mainly aigle. I have been converted to much cheaper but in my opinion just as good own brand Decathlon wellies. Bought a pair this week 60€ compared to about 150€ for the branded ones.
