Trying to get bog standard boots but Glanbia Ashford only stock mens boots size 40 and larger. They had one kind below this size. Are women immune to all this wet ground and don't need boots?

In Heatons today, nothing suitable in Women's section, the kids section their own brand for €9 but they are shorter than standard boot and they had one type in the mens with smallest size being 41.

Woodies for your green ones, Avoca or Fishers of Newtownmountkennedy for your Hunters.

No such thing, the quality varies a lot. I got a pair of Dunlop Confort boots in Glanbia for about €60 and the quality and comfort of them is amazing every time I put them on. For example the rubber on the leg is flexible, but still it holds its shape when not wearing them, so the boot doesn't flop over. The rubber around the foot is hard. You'll get cheaper ones in Lidl or Aldi, now and again, but they have the same rubber throughout, so the sole part is too soft.

The wife has bought several pairs of various coloured wellies since, and all fell apart or leaked after a short time. Resulting in her having spent more money, but having no boots now. Its an awful pity Glanbia only stock the larger sizes.
Never buy coloured wellies, they don't last long. Green or black is OK. White is good for weddings (or food processing factories).
