wellies

[carlos33]

Hiya,

Im desperate for some wellies that will last me longer than a couple of months??  I have heard hunters are the best, is this true?
My last pair i got from next and they have split. Since getting willow i must have been through 4 pairs 


Thanks in advance

I bought some fleece lined pink wellies on ebay last year and they are wearing well, kept my feet nice and warm too  They were about £17 plus p&p, dunno what make they are though

Helpful Nat ! 
I have some town and country ones, got them four years ago as they were the only ones in local garden center that fitted ( i have large calves) and they were red bonus, they have only just sprung a leak the last time i wore them, so need a new pair soon, but i wore them alot! they were £30 and look a little like the hunters, so a cheaper alternative maybe.

lol nat 

Thanks gracie i will have a look on net for town and country as hunters ive seen are £65 i think.
But way i feel about wellies if they last me a few years il be happy to pay

over the years i have paid over £100 and about £3 for wellies and i can split them within a few weeks - i swear by walking boots my karrimor ksbs are about 8 years old and the best thing in the world - if it really is to muddy for them i have some wellies made by crocs these simply dont split and are great

B&Q green wellies, £10 had em for 3 years and still going strong 

Gem, have a look in TKmax as they stock hunters in there- if they havent got any go try some on and pm me your size and will have a look in my local one

i wasnt laughing at your pink wellies Nat, i was laughing at your 'my great wellies, but dunno what they are...'

Thanks for all the replies 

Nat my last ones were blue with strawberries on them 

izzie i will check out my local tkmaxx never thought of there, thanks

[Foxisle_crazy]

Have to add, i loved my Joules wellies with the dogs on, they were only £30 but when my car was scrapped i forgot they were still in the back 

[*Nat*]

Ooooh Gem I'd like those with strawberries on hehe 

Foxy, now why does it not suprise me yours are purple!!!  Fancy leaving them in the car when it was scrapped though 

Well I for one am for nice bright wellies, the lairier the better, brightens up what could be a miserable, muddy, wet walk!!!

I had a pair of Hunters in black (£70) and I have to say they just didn't keep my feet warm at all.  I then moved on to a pair of Toggi leather calf high boots (£120) and they are by far my favourite although they do not withstand a whole day in constant wet when I'm on the shoot in the winter so I then bought a pair of Le Chameau neoprene wellies (£150) and they are amazing!! 

Sorry girls I'm afraid mine arn't very exciting colours! When you are on a practically all male shoot you just don't need to give them more amunition to take the p*$@! 

My younger daughter has a pair of the Joules wellies with dogs on and my older daughter has a brown pair with blue spots on and I'm very impressed with the quality of them.  I'd go for them over the hunters.
