leegreen 2,153 Posted October 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 All the Wellington manufacturers have us by the balls because they know we need them but the truth is that nowadays all Wellington boots are bad. I wear wellies a few times every single day and how come a pair for 15 euro can last me 8 months (but I wouldn't like to wear them for 5 hours rough shooting) but a pair of 150 euro wont last 5 months. Personally I think most expensive brand makers think we all stand at a peg shooting driven birds and the makers of the cheap brands think we mope around a yard mucking out a few ponies but nobody seems to make a good wearing affordable boot for those who spend hours walking in the countryside like they used too. It pisses me off that there's no such thing as good wellies anymore. most decent wellies have a 2 year warranty and if you get the right ones for your feet you can walk all day in them. I don't mind paying good money for comfy boots. These are what I'm waiting for http://www.abbeydaledirect.co.uk/farming-products/wellies/aigle-parcours-2-enduro/ same as my last boots, £104 delivered that's £52 per year for quality comfy puncture resistant boots that I'm in a lot of the time. That seems cheap to me. 1 Quote Link to post

leegreen 2,153 Posted October 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I tried Grubbs Stalkers, because they have Vibram soles. Can't remember why I didn't like them, but I went for Muck Tay instead, which were more comfy. The Muck boots only lasted a year and most of the time the grip was shite, won't get them again.

low plains drifter 10,342 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Cut shapes in muck boots on wet fields that would have made michael jackson envious, rand come away, and they split right across the heels, they're garbage don't last long either 1 Quote Link to post

Bush Rummager 4,500 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 On second pair of Mucks here. Bang on for the money. They do wear eventually, but i see it as a comfort/ cost trade off thing and i ain't got a problem with it. Have gone almost gone flying a time or two though! Quote Link to post
