Wellingtons with support (any suggestions)

Hugh 2

Been using French green for years now - mainly due to them being so light

Now I that I am a bit older I think I need something with a bit of foot support anybody here able to recommend some brand with a bit of heel or arch support ( prefferably something that is not too heavy

Thanks

Baudou PSX Pauillac are a good wellington got a pair nearly two years ago noe they were 50 euro in Dairygold. Good support in them and they are lighter than some od the Dunlops etc.

The Muckboot are supposed to be the most comfortable welly around in terms of support. I am trying to wear out a pair of steel toe dunlops before I change over.

Don't buy Goodyears, I got a pair before Christmas and thought them great. Good support around the ankle and warm and comfortable.
Sole ripped off the right boot when pulling it off my foot about eight weeks later. Returned them, woman in shop said almost every pair they had sold had been returned with the same problem.

I bout a pair of Dunlop Purofort the last time I bought. They're expensive but comfortable. I have an older cheaper pair that I use just for fencing. Between the whitethorns, slash-hook and chainsaw, It doesn't take long to ruin a good pair.

Comfortable welly, but like that I find it's very easy to hole them when fencing or standing on whitethorn cuttings etc.

OP what about in soles, like the 'footsolutions'?

I have to wear in soles in everything now, elverys do them as well, and I think they are cheaper.

Interesting to see how an add for arch support appeared amongst these posts in this thread

I tried on a pair of Aigle wellies they have a lot of claims about their development of comfortable inbuilt sole support system - unfortunately it was a size 2 all - it felt more soft like a latex glove with sole attached - seemed to be lacking structure that might help prevent twisting of ankle
At over 100 euro I will wait to try on the larger size when it comes in

Over the last few days I only wear the worm out wellies while milking cows and change to work boots after that I can notice a considerable improvement in heel and arch pain since...

I'm glad I'm not the only one waiting to wear out a pair of cheap wellies before I splash out on another , thought I was the only cheapskate around .
The cheap ones have lasted 2 yrs now which is longer than any of the better brands usually last me

On wet concrete they are like roller skates. No grip at all. Sskellerup from Gregcare would be a much better choice, heavy enough though.

I tried Aigile again at equine store where they had a large selection
There is no sign of the weak one I saw earlier this year - there is a neoprene lined type there -feels like walking tall in jelly and like that your feet would get uncomfortably warm

Have them a week now and liking them --- expensive but cheaper than putting down rubber mats in milking parlour floor,

Are they the €200 Parcours?
I bought a pair a fortnight ago, they're light, comfortable and very, very snug. No need for a heavy sock with them. Very pleased.
Until I saw a near identical boot in a RFD for half the price.

Aigle Parcours 2 cost me in the region of €200 also
I don't find them that light to pick up they feel heavy but on your feet they are so snug they feel light the neoprene lining should feel a dream for anyone who suffers from cold feet.


What's a RFD ?
