Lookin recomendations for good wellys that are comfy and last for ages. Currently using dunlop purofort. Iv tried the dunlop thermo boots which are great at keepin feet warm in winter but are very heavy and dont last. Also tried bekina but they dont last either and arent as nice to wear as dunlop. I dont mind payin a bit extra for boots if they would last me at least a year mabe 2.

What's the issue with the Dunlop?

I've found them to be easily ripped and not lasting well at all, going porous in less than a year.

I have found them quite good and hard wearing.
Having to put new inner soles in them and grip lasting very well tbh

The Purofort with the red fish pattern in the sole are better than most of the rest.

Comfortable but don't stand up to everyday farm wear

They seem to perish quite quickly and crack mabe after 4-5 months. Would like boots that u basicly buy and forget for a long time with no wet feet

I got a pair I wear daily and they are nearly 2 years old.

Took a pair back my son had 9 months and had split on the heel join where they have let go. Waiting on Dunlop to say what if anything they are going to do.

Didnt know that. Seems very petty goin back to local stores lookin them to sort out warranty on a pair of boots would rather buy better quality this time round and have them for a good time

Ive never understood wanting wellies to last ages. We often spend 8+ hours per day in them. Your feet are massively important and if it comes down to it i would happily buy a new pair every month and still consider it cheap..

The reason i started this thread was cause i wanted better quality boots as i think theyd be worth the extra investment

Soles are fine, more around where sole joins the uppers, and around the heels in particular.
I've also found that if they catch on anything they just rip, I've used the brand (Hevea) for probably 30 years and I don't recall them being as destructible as I've found them in recent years and back then I was almost definitely abusing them (and myself) a lot more than I do now.
They are very hard to beat for comfort but I'm fed up buying a pair of them every few months.
