Split across the toe and neoprene snagged on everything. also the Muckboots soles went slick very quickly and became dangerous. Cheers.

Borr 7,002 Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 I got my mum grubs neoprene ones about £70 but they're decent , neoprene might be a bit warm for walking in? Missus swears by grubs on the allotment. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thefensarefarbutistillgo 2,609 Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Neoprene is more comfortable and keeps feet warmer I got some Dunlop ones with red lining, there lightweight and seem a lot more hard wearing than more expensive ones I’ve had, Dunlop’s were £60 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eastcoast 4,306 Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) I do like a posh green wellie but quality seems to be more luck of these draw days than the manufacturer having true quality control. Had a pair of Le Chameau that lasted for years and were well worth the money. A live in terrier pup chewed the tops off one night so bought a replacement pair. Lasted less than 12 month but got replaced under warranty. Unfortunately those lasted just over a year so wasn't able to get a free replacement. Bought Muck boots next but they didn't last long. A few Christmas' ago someone got me another pair of Le Chameau and they are wearing as well as they used to. Wouldn't have chanced buying them with my own money though. Total lottery it would seem.
