Wellie recommendation

Discodog

I am fed up with my wellingtons only lasting a year at most. I am looking for boots that are hard wearing. I only wear them for dog walking along a rocky shore every day.

I have tried expensive Aigles but they perished. The hunting brigade like their expensive boots so I thought that I'd ask the farmers :-)

I have the Bekina and they are a great job, the soles are like cross country tyres like biddy's dunlops but great shock absorbers

You'd be surprised how you would get used to them after a while

The Bekinas sound good. I only walk about half a mile & my treads were gone in 6 months. I am wondering if the roughness of the granite or the sea water causes problems.

I'll give a +1 for the bekina steplite's aswell. Most comfortable wellies I ever had.

Have a pair of Bekina Agrilite. Good insulating qualities in the type of material they are made out of. Light on the feet.The salt water should not effect them, but sharp granite rock might . About €50.

I have my Aigle neoprene lined for 4 years now and the soles are nearly bare,right sole step is worn from kick start of Honda 250 I use to see cattle on the hill.
There is a new pair in the house but I'll wait till these fall apart.
The supplier (the wellyman) wants them for research,
Best boot but expensive .

just do it

My Aigles perished after 14 months & neither the supplier or Aigle wanted to know. €100+ for a year. My old Dunlop Wildlifes lasted 5 years.

I've a pair since around 06 and they're still perfect. Like yourself I've a new pair still in the box but the old ones are perfect.

Biddy keep it out of the gutter

If your looking a good warm booth, I'd highly recommend the muckbooths, feet do be sweating when standing out in the cold pulling leeks turnips etc. Usent to be able to feel my toes in them Dunlops, I only go back to them in the summer.

bulleyes

Muckboot tay muckmaster. Far and away the greatest Wellie evey made.

Really, you havent lived until you get yourself a pair of Muckmasters.....

I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. My Hunters perished after only 3 months & Hunter said that it was "fair wear & tear"

I had to threaten the supplier with legal action before they would refund.

€54.99 inc free postage from Wellies.ie Fast delivery.

Base price

I bought a pair of Hoggs Field Pro neoprene boots last year. They keep the feet nice and toasty but are totally useless in the yard, break your neck if there is any ice, algae, oil, and especially after you scrap they yard and its semi dry and you get that skin on the concrete. Feckin useless but no problems out hunting or fishing.

What does the, uh, larger gentleman recommend? Big calfs here, any time I've tried on wellies I get stuck halfway on, and they can be right uncomfortable. Don't need a safety boot or anything, just for walking and playing with the kids.

Cant agree there. They might be if you're posing at a festival but sweet f* all good on the farm. I've a pair left in the shed and am wearing cheap dunlops instead because the hunters are so awful.

Bulls Notion

The new dunlops are the only job!
Be great if we didn't need wellies...

Muckboots are mighty, find them in equestrian type shops,very comfortable even for long days, may not suit massive calves...

Dunlop Purofort.....great in bad ground:)
