Welly boots

I am looking for any recommendations for some decent boots. Thermal and comfy that last more than a few months.
I'm always buying expensive boots thinking they will last, they start off great...comfy and warm then the end up splitting after 4 months.
Hoping some farmers can recommend something worth the money.
Thanks

From an 'older person'.
No feet, no work.
Look after your feet. Don't live in wellies.
Buy good footwear, buy good footwear. If you don't then that is your choice. Don't moan when you are 65 and can't walk well......If you do have to wear wellies for the wet bits, get the f**k out of them afterwards. Simples. Find a company that has a last that fits your foot and go from there. Yes you may have to pay good £'s but that's better than being in an electric trolley with horrendous feet!

Sadly, it's limited choice when it comes to boots made for the female foot. I wear Bekina Steplite ~ which are durable and not as expensive as the flash brands ~ but they are made for blokes, aren't great for walking in on natural ground, and are pretty painful to run in for more than 100 yds.
Fine if you only farm on flat concrete, or generally mooch, though.
