WELLINGTON BOOTS INFO REQUIRED

[Paid 935]

Muck boots for me, had a few for under a ton that were shyte (seeland being one set) but finding the muck boots to be a good warm dry buy.

[paulus 26]

im on my 3rd pair of muck boots, every pair has split within 6 months and there shockingly bad for grip in wet muddy conditions, so its back to aigle for me from now on. boots are fine in dryish weather but are not practical here as the ground has been sodden all summer with at least 1/2 foot or more of water in most field. its far worse now. plus i need them daily and boots just dont get chance to dry out in time for the next outing, something that is not an issue with wellies.

neoprene hunters

Land masters are the best ones for lasting I've found seals are good and hunters are my fav but too exp and don't last as long as land masters or seals

hunters for me ive used them every day with all this bad weather on daily walks and hunting and there spot on

I've just got a pair super lite stream Wellys from goout doors £58. Pleased with them warm and got a good grip

Aigle!! Warm and comfy, good soles and last by far the best

I used to be a devotee of the Muckboot Esk (I think, the one with the good tread) wellingtons. They were warm, they were heavy. But, they have two fatal flaws for the land I walk and hunt here. They split at the seams, expecially back around the heel, I think one split where the toes flex as well. They are rip very easily. one pair got a glancing blow from the deck of the sheep trailer as I was putting it in, went through the boot like a hot knife through butter. I think I had two or three pairs of them so not just giving out about one bad pair.

 

Now I'm on Dunlop Puroforts, the non safety model, with the red fishy like thing in the sole. They're not the warmest, the grip is worse than the Muckboots, they're lighter than the Muckboots. They have split on me too, where the upper part of the boot joins to the sole. The upper seems tougher than the upper on the Muckboots.

 

I'm not sure I'd buy either again. I don't want to buy any of the real expensive wellies, even though I spend most of my time in them. I'm odd like that.

im the same with cost as i rip the inside calves out of every pair climbing over 3 standed barbed wire fences. and again your correct all 3 pairs of muck boots ive had split were the toes flex on the sides.

I virtually live in wellies, especially with the weather we have had recently. Over the years I have tried most makes of welly, including 3 pairs of muckboots.

 

These new nora wellies are certainly the best I have tried in years. I have only had them for 9 or 10 months but they are still going strong, never had cold feet whilst wearing them and they are pretty comfortable.

Muck Boots

 

Trent, Esk or Derwent ?

 

What do folk recommend for General use ?

 

None of them. As a few have said, the soles wear VERY quickly and become downright dangerous ! They ARE light, warm and comfortable, but don't last and are expensive for what they are. The same things can be bought from the likes of Yorkshire Trading for almost half the price.

 

Cheers.

get a pair of decent high leather goretex boots like meindls, you will never go back to wellys!

Aigle paracours, on my 2nd pair, nowt wrong with the first pair just wanted new ones, infact sold my old ones to a member on here for £30.

Had aigles hunters lechemua avon muck boots grubstalkers the only ones that lasted me two years were the toggis with the zipps on.

Dunlop purofort steel toecap. Cost around £20 comfortable, good solid sole will last a lot longer than the big names that r pure shite. Tried the muck boots utter pish, comfortable but don't last a Craic. Don't see too many farmers wearing muck boots ! Food for thought.
