If I'm honest I canny see passed the Muck Boots. Wearing them to work and out with the dogs I'm happy to get 2 years out them. That's only £30 a year. They are a comfy welly.....soles become slippy quickly though. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One thing I'll say Kanny is that 20 years ago Hunter were the BEST but nowadays they're substandard. I bought a pair of Balmorals last year. 4 months I got out of them. IMO a lot of wellies nowadays are like shooting clothing, they're made for those who stand at a peg looking pretty. They're not made for the lad who's on his belly crawling under a Blackthorn hedge.

I agree mate over the last 20 years the likes of Hunter and Barbour have moved more into the fashion market and put style over substance ..bigger numbers cheaply produced then quality is bound to suffer .. it seems to be the way of the world now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bought a pair of hunter's over 20 years ago & they were shite, leaking within weeks.......they've never been the best, maybe ok for standing on a peg waiting for pheasants or driving a range rover haha....so f**k knows what there like now!.... Kanny you have indeed been very lucky with yours mate....;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
