JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Best boots ive ever owned have been chirucas, as for wellies ive not had many but got a pair of seeland that have been spot on for last couple years. Neoprenes shite in my experience with waders Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosun11 537 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Dunlop Purofort Jiggy, them big Herman Munster ones. Get a pair of welly socks too. Warm as feck, very comfy and they eat thick briars for breakfast. They are the fecking nuts for serious bramble bashing!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kanny 21,755 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) I've had a pair of hunters for a good 20 years now and they've still got some life left in them maybe I've been lucky ...they was a extravagant purchase when I got them I didn't have much back then so I've always looked after them ...I also got a cheep pair of karrimor snow boots for a trip to Iceland 4 years ago and they have surprised me there still going strong and very warm but they are a bit Herman simlar to theses but mine have fur linings ... http://www.karrimor.com/karrimor-snowfur-mens-boots-143530?colcode=14353005.
