I've worn wellies for more than 30 years, Hunter, Barbour, Dunlop, Aigle, Le Chamoue, Muck, HappyShopper etc etc.
Now I reckon all but a few, I think, have torn, ripped or split at some point before I had worn them out. Now more recently these wellies have been worn regularly, say 4 days or more a week. Although most decent wellies come with a 2 year guarantee, anything other than material or workmanship failure isn't covered. So new boots are needed £$£.
Because of this I started to use leather boots a lot more, but leather needs attention.
A few years ago I found these https://www.aigle.
