[David1985]

My wife is after some new wellies for milking. Milking is around 5 1/2 hours so need to be lightweight and steel toe cap. She currently has these

These weigh less than a kg each but seem to be out of stock in her size 6.

Any recommendations would be helpful

Build a bigger parlour but Dunlop purefoot with a good insole

5 and a half hours per milking or 5 and a half hours total per day? Dunlop Purofort, Bekina Steplite / Thermolite or Skellerup Quattro.

Bekina steplite. Get spare insoles. Excellent.

Dunlop purefort

Just the normal purefort ones are good the fancier purefort+ ones are slidey as got out!

Dunlop purefort

I have these. They have zippo ankle support compared to my Bekina Steplites and are less comfortable IMO. Bought into the Dunlop propaganda and regret it.

OTOH I bought some Bekinas and they were the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever worn, after 10 days I was hobbling with sore feet, gave up and went back to Dunlop’s.

My search for the perfect welly is ongoing, currently in skellerup Quattros and not convinced, they’re cumbersome and tight on the toes, maybe a size bigger than usual would help with the latter .

 

[som farmer]

if an abreast parlour, the rubber motorcycle ones, with added strength on top, saves a lot of swearing, if a cow steps on your toes. But 5 1/2 hours, very long time.

 

[RedHotChiliPip]

Has anyone tried nora max or mega max safety wellies? Was looking at them or the bekina steplite. Thank you for all your replies.

 

[Davy]

Think I've had most makes of lighter welly, and I'm back to the puroforts

 

[wullbr]

Just typed nora max into google..... more interesting results than wellys

Husband won’t wear anything other than Dunlop puroforts. I prefer them “snazzy French boots”. Milking same length of time here and either are up to the job. Noras definitely not

Aigle parcour iso, keep them washed off and will last for years.

If you need steel toe caps for milking then you need to change the set up, unless it’s a abreast, can’t imagine a cow slipping off a step onto your toe being much fun.

I might have imagined it but can you not buy them in wider sizes??

 

[Bruce Almighty]

I've had Skellerup Quattro recently & their great when it's cold but now they're too hot.

How are Bekina Steplite in hot weather ? Or is there a better Summer welly ?

Previously I always had Purofort + / Purofort extra
