Guest MOLLY Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I used to wear the normal old style hunters. I know things have probably improved but i found them so crap i would never even buy any of their new stuff now. Aigle for me, ive had these ones over 2 years, i spend 3/4 of my life in wellies and walk ALOT. The hunters would have been split and even more slippy than they normally are, but these are as good as the day they were bought. I suffer from cold feet, the neoprene lining in these is superb so even when standing about alot when ratting my feet are the only things warm MOLL. Quote Link to post
