Guest AngelicAcid Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 I thought the neoprene tended to rip, im very heavy on footwear. Quote Link to post
runforyourlife 361 Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 I'll 3rd it mate, you cant beat muck boots.... Never heard of steel toe caps being warm. They must be being made alot better these days.... The boots with liners in, are more designed for sitting around or working in. Not really walking, as your feet sweat from the inside and it becomes wet in the wellie. I wear the muck boots, and every winter buy a pair of neopreme wetsuit socks, last a full season, and keep you dry and warm mate.. Quote Link to post

lanesra 3,994 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 the ESK muck boot , on my 2nd pair, 1st lasted 3 yrs , £65 , spot on for me , though a mate wont wear them, like marmite you either love them or loathe them. Quote Link to post
sweeper1gg 4 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Type in easy wellies there the cheepest on the net,hunter balmorals for around 45 quid they are around 79 quid on ebay. Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,067 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 muck botts with vibram sole might be ok but the others are crap. mine went like racing slike on the sole within 6 month. i couldnt stand up on a wet grassy sloap also inside they semmed alot of space even though they were the right size , going up or down steep sloaps my feet moved round in side. theres plenty others out there that are better for around 50 - 60 MUCK BOOT AFTER 6 MONTH (the top boot) the other pair are called la crosse and in my opinion are far superior there rubber all the way up have a better sole and are neaprean inside with thin fleese on top , also more support around the foot and anckle Quote Link to post
