I had a pair of muckboots (derwent) which lasted for a year on the farm before i wore the soles smooth.Got a pair of muckboots (tay) to replace them 12 months ago. Still going strong with loads of tread left and certainly never had cold feet in this recent cold snap.

I think the derwent are designed for occaisional use, go for the Tay or Esk if you live in wellies as I do.

I recommend Le Chameau model St Hubert (leather inside). I have had mine 4 seasons now with an intensive use in brambles and I never had leaks. In comparison a pair of Aigle doesn't last me more than one season, it is well worth the investment (should be around £120) and you can choose the size of calf and that makes them more confortable than any other.

I have tried a variety of wellies over the years. However, my problem is that wellies are too flexible in the sole and this has caused instep problems for me. Have yet to find a stiff soled wellie! I have resorted to rigger boots, Le Chameau Vatna and the Muck ankle boots which have the stiffest sole that I have found. Do any of you have any recommendations for a stiff soled calf length wellie?

 

Baggie.

Hunters have defo gone downhill, bought a pair after 3 months rubber perished and hunter weren't interested. Have read on a post somewhere the rubber is made in china! had a pair of the insulated Aigles for 10 years and still going strong and no cold feet. Have found a use for my new hunters though, planted some geraniums in them and no drainage holes needed!!!!! seeing the posts though muck boots sound good.

No body but one has mentioned that wellies are just no good for brambles or thorny harsh cover (I have had most). Leather boots are the only way to go unless someone can prove me wrong.
