Be careful if she's buying you hunters as the Hello Kitty pink ones are very popular

The hunters are well known for spliting at the heal after a while

The basic Hunter is overpriced for what ya get in my humble opinion!

Can't beat them for warmth, trouble is if lining gets wet then that's a real pain!

Aye, the only downside to them is how low they are, nothing a pair of overalls won't sort. Wouldn't feel right standing in cow muck with €160 wellies..

Aigle Paracours. Read this thread from the start, there's a couple of recommendations there.

I bought a pair lately Baudou I think about 50yoyo's quite comfortable and warm enough put on the Dunlop Purforts and there were way more comfortable and easier to wear will see how I get on with them.

I am using Aigle , the neoprene lined ones very expensive at 150 euro but I have them 4 years but the soles are showing their age now.2 bad ankles and a dodgy knee so I have to use the ones with best support.

Bekina Agrilite's. Seem nice so far, warm on the toe's anyway. No steel toe-cap. 50 euro. Nice "nib" at the back of the heel to help pulling them off your foot.
Replacing a pair of Dunlop Purofort, had them 2 1/2 years, got a cut in one of them just at the ankle, or would still be wearing them.

Bought a pair of Hunter Classic's once, horrible boots. Freeze your feet off, and you'd break your neck in the parlour. Positively dangerous. Good enough for strutting around in at the local Show, though.

Have a pair of the same; only thing is it takes a bit of getting used to driving with them on.

Ill second that. i ended up pressing the brake and accelrater pedal everytime i came to a stop sign.

I bought one of these max dry boot dryers last year. A great investment, easy to operate and the only thing to take the damp out of a wellington.maxxdry.ie

When you get older your feet get fussier you also tend to need better support in the sole of the boot and find those extra hard soles hard to walk in.

Looked at wellington's today they are Baudou BSX's. bough them in a Dairygold store for 50 euro( 49.95) I think. Nice and wide at the top and rubber not too hard nice and flexible. Not over tight to take on and off.
