Ladies Comfy Wellies

tringle

Hi all, I am looking for a pair of comfy wellies. More for walking the dog than gardening. I need them for walking on the road as well as through fields, I normally wear runners for walking and so need something with good support. I have small feet and short fat legs...yep, Im not making this easy for you. Or do you have any other suggestions for walking through 6inch deep puddles and boggy soggy fields, I am tired of getting wet, thanks.

Have a look at riggers boots, they generally are more comfortable and have more support than wellies.

Thanks, will do

Aigle parcours are a great wellie for walking if you're willing to spend extra. They're made for proper walking rather than just occasional wear through fields and give good foot support
They are expensive but worth it!

Have a look at the decathlon website, they have a great selection of wellies, you could go for either short ones which are easy or longer ones which generally cost more but offer greater support and more resistance to being sucked off your foot in heavy mud.

I've a pair of Aigle Paracours Outlast. I have them 2 years now. Daily walks on the beach, road, forests etc and they still look new.

They are probably the most comfortable footwear I own. Keep feet nice and toasty but never too hot. Amazing wellies.

My wife got a pair of Hunter Balmoral wellies around the same time. Granted she uses them everyday mucking out stables but they are in bits and began leaking a few weeks ago. She also says that they were never very comfortable anyway.

Part if her Christmas present was a pair of Le Chameau Vierzonord. She has worn them the last few days walking the dogs on the beach and she LOVES them. Reckons they are far superior than Hunters she has now binned. She cant believe the comfort.
I got them here http://www.sportsden.ie/clothing/le-chameau/le-chameau-vierzonord.html and I've no affiliation with the shop but I doubt you will get a better price..I searched!!!

Hunter are not made in the UK anymore, they are produced in China and are rapidly getting a reputation for poor quality.
They used to be good but the modern version is complete rubbish.

Thanks all, I tried on a pair of Hunters (not sure which ones) but they were too long for my legs and cut behind my knees..and weren't particularly walking friendly. Will have a look at the other options, thanks.

Thanks all, I went to the local equestrian shop and tried on a few different things including a €200 leather pair of long Dublin boots but ended up with a €60 pair of Derri Boots wellies. Neoprene lined and very comfy to wear, she said they are her most popular boot and described them as a "working" boot. Been for a 4k walk (with a husky and a 6 week old baby in a buggy), didn't go through fields but had deep puddles. So far so good, they did the job.
