Hi all after going through my second pair in about a year and a half I would be interested to hear what others are wearing. First pair dunlops purofort and now baudou split under the soul. Two not too dear but not too cheap either

+1. Used to go through a lot of dunlops but these are definitely lasting me a good bit longer

Bought a pair of muck master wellies in January. Pricey but they are very comfortable and have a good grip

I bought a pair of Dunlop Purofort late last year for around the €70 mark. Leaked after only a few months.
Bought the cheaper Dunlop ones for only €15 and I think I have them as long now. If you ask in the local Dairygold Store they have them, but don't have them out on display with the other dearer ones, If you know what I mean.;)

I don't wear wellies often tbh I hate them but I bought a pair of Aldi fishing wellies for €28 most comfortable warmest boots I've ever had don't know how long they'll last but at less than €30 worth a try

I've found aldi/lidl ones sound too for what they are. The last pair of wellies I got from them though weren't great though so might look at the fishing ones next.
On a side note did anyone get the aldi rigger boots that were on sale last summer for €25 I got a pair and they've stood up to some serious abuse so far very impressed with them.

i like the nora dolomite boot myself, comfortable, not expensive, good grip, clean up well and seem to last quite well with me

Don't buy a pair of Hoggs Field sport neoprene wellies. I bought 2 pairs two years ago, one for me and the other for OH. Comfy warm wellies but lethal grip on concrete/metal if its frosty, mossy or slimy iykwim.
Like sthilmick I seldom wear wellies unless it's absolutely necessary. At present I switch between 2 pairs of work boots that I wear for different situations. When about the yard in the winter I wear Hoggs Waterproof safety boots and during the summer wear No Risk safety boots.
I prefer the No Risk as they are lighter but unfortunately not waterproof.
