    the muckboot wellies are great, good grip and very comfortabe, only downside is the price, about €80-€100

    Mine are Baudou too, got a new pair, holes in my old ones and the soles had no griips after a lot of use.
    Had to use a pair of steel toed wellies and they were killing my feet and ankles, they were so hard, the new ones are just heaven.

    A good bed and a good pair of boots: If you're not in one you're in the other.
    Aigle Paracours for the boots and Oldcastle for the bed!

    Very warm, so not the best for summer or a very mild late spring early autumn. Excellent for winter, warm, dry, very comfortable.

    I have mine double jobbing, farming by day out after foxes by night. Handles the Connemara ground fairly well.

    Got to un-recommend the above now on the grounds of "softness". They split at the seam running up the back of the heel, split at the upper/lower seam near the toe bend as well, also rip easily.

    Got Dunlop Purofoot now... Oh, ye've heard of them then :D Mine are the non safety non thermal version with the fishy shaped bit in the sole.

    Difference to the MB is the DP has absolutely no ankle support, and are quite slippery at times. Other than that, going grand so far.

    Now that I think of it. I rarely wear wellies. 90% of my waking time is spent in a pair of Meindl Burma Pro boots. Wet weather or dry.
