budgie123 163 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Tay Sport Muck boot very cumfy very warm excellent grip worth every penny. Quote Link to post
123456 146 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Can't stand wellies, hate the sloshing noise they make and am yet to meet a person who can walk in em quietly. For me rockport xcs, used a few good pair of timbos and a pair of lacoste boots and I'm yet to find a pair of hunting boots or wellies that came anywhere near any of the above. Quote Link to post

dazzz 421 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) muck boots are the warmest and most confortable wellies ive ever had,,,,,BUT i wouldnt have another pair, the sole doesnt have a good grip to start with and after they get a little worn they are deadly, you wont get more than 18 months out of a pair and 6 months of that will be spent slipping on your arse, i'm now using hunter balmoral neo, and after 18 months are still going strong at around the same price as the muck boots,,,,,i did nealy buy the aigle's as the rubber on them is very subtle and moulds to your foot but they are a bit more expensive and im not sure they would be as robust as the hunter's?? or you could go for lacoste ffs so a pair of boots that the forces swear bye,,,miendl,,,lowa,,,etc wouldnt live upto a pair of fashion boot's 12345?????good advice,,, somtimes if you dont know what the feck your talking about it's probably the best policy to say feck all !!!! millet i know what your saying about boot's,,,i used to hate wellies but these day's they are not the cold ill fitting things they used to be,,,,you know there's just day's when you need wellies over boots Edited January 16, 2012 by dazzz 1 Quote Link to post

Millet 4,497 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 millet i know what your saying about boot's,,,i used to hate wellies but these day's they are not the cold ill fitting things they used to be,,,,you know there's just day's when you need wellies over boots I have had all kind's of wellies i have a pair of le chameau leather lined ones at the moment which cost a fortune and they are still shite compared to my boot's..before the leather ones i had a pair of aigle neoprene lined jobbies..i used to swaet like mad in them and they where very hard to get back of..i ended up having to cut them off one day with a knife.. the main reason i am not a wellie fan is they offer no ankle support at all which i need for a weak ankle..for me it's another personal preference thing..

Country Joe 1,411 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Tay Sport Muck boot very cumfy very warm excellent grip worth every penny. I bought a pair of Tay muck boots had them about a Month, so sole was not worn, was going down a grass slope, the feet just went from me, I grabbed a wire fence to cushion my fall, resulting in four stiches on my finger, Ended up screwing wader studs into them, there grip is crap. I emailed them about this, and i never recieved a reply. Quote Link to post
poacher3161 1,766 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Grubb stalker boots so far so good and with the vibram sole 10 time's better than the avon muck boots that didnt last six months.I found the toggi wellys more robust and stronger than the hunters aigles and le chemau i have had over the years.

terrier s 123 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Grubb stalker boots so far so good and with the vibram sole 10 time's better than the avon muck boots that didnt last six months.I found the toggi wellys more robust and stronger than the hunters aigles and le chemau i have had over the years. i have had my grubbs stalkers nearly 2 years apart from a rip in the neoprene my own fault they are great and still going strong far better than muckboots Quote Link to post
