Greb147 6,809 Posted January 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Those Skellerup that I bought my dad for Christmas are spot on he says, really comfortable. I thought these Dunlops had worn in but clearly they haven't, no good for a decent walk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Qbgrey 4,143 Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Bloody boots we do get ripped off,I was at work and my feet were like ice cubes,I drove to the nearest place to get anything warm,they only had aigle wellys.wore them digging,concreting, tieing up mesh,the works,bloody shit,I recall they was nigh on 180 bar.wore em last night concreting for 18hrs. Feet was fuking soaked.no ankle support,very flimsy. I'm going try percussion next,my lads got a pair,nice enough and reasonable dollars,also had the ariat dealers.(normally only posh horsey people have them).don't ask how I got them but they are great,may try thier neoprene welly next.

They are quite big for the size I found, most folk wear boot socks or a couple of pairs of socks so plenty of room. I just got a pair of the steplite xci to try and they seem OK so far, I don't know if they are warmer or its just not been as cold but they seem warmish so far and I've not had to use the heated socks I bought off ebay yet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,533 Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 They aren't neoprene lined they're just like a normal welly but the material they're made from is meant to have better insulation than normal. If you are stood around in a swamp your feet get cold. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
