As per title recommendations please. General sheep farm level abuse. I'm always in wellingtons which is fine but I fancy exploring a bit of change for the warmer rainy months.

Got myself a pair last year and they look like new, I on the other hand, do not

I have shot ankles from breaks and sprains in the MX days, so really need a full shank boot these days.
These are still very light compared to what I'd consider a "work boot" with steel toecaps and overly thick leather, water only gets in over the tops and they dry exceptionally quickly

Ex army jungle boots of eBay see how you go on with them . Good value for money plus you don’t have to worry about trashing them

I don't wear wellies. I hate them.

Karrimor SF Cold weather (Army Issue) boots for the winter.
They're warm, fully waterproof, with a hard wearing sole which has excellent grip





I wear Alt-Berg Defenders through the summer

 
These are brilliant. Light, easy to put on and take off and waterproof. Not cheap, but two year warranty on them so it's very workable compared to dealer boots that's break down after 6 months and still cost a fortune.

Swiss Army KS 90 . Damn fine boot for 40 odd quid, not Goretex which is a good thing as that will fail in the end, just put plenty of Dubbin or suchlike on them.
