Dickies stuff tends to be very good but I couldn't comment on their riggers, might be worth checking out though.

Hard get any sorta pair last longer than a year if you're using them in damp conditions a lot.

Cofra are an italian made boot tough as all hell, and great ankle support with high lacing. Uses 160 cm round laces. Available in brown too!!!

Riggers don't agree with me. Would cut my feet to pieces. I find they are more suited if your up on a digger or tractor, but if your on the move all day walking around, not for me.

Have used them once but have gotten no risk hawick boots since no comparison. Getting over 12 months out of a pair. In or around the same price

Used to be able to get Redwing riggers years ago. They were beautiful leather, soft and subtle. Older folk would care for them with an occasional wash and wax, but doubt if they'd be taken care of in today's world..

Bought a pair back in the day for when i was on the sites, think they were north of €150 at the time, lovely boot to be fair, but i don't know if they would be any good in the farming game, from what i remember it was the constant wet and then drying out that cracked the leather in them, probably got several months heavy duty work out of them in fairness.
Almost forgot to add they are HEAVY, after i'd take them off in the evening and put a pair of runners on i'd feel like i was walking on air for the first 10 minutes!

I have sold them and still sell. Bottom line rigger are used like Wellies and they don’t work like wellies. No matter what one you buy they will let water in if your in water or they get very wet. Good makes are dewalt, doc martins cofras not bad. We used to sell maybe 500 pairs a year now we would sell five. Dealer boots are very popular google dewalt nitrogen.

Sieva rigger boots. They are expensive but unreal comfortable and I get 3/4 years of alot of use out of them.

Bought cofra for 130 euro I cancelled the first order so hoping they will be fine , my dad hates wearing wellingtons

Used to love slip ons but i wpuldnt go near them now as bad ankles kept getting worse in them and i wouldnt move from lace ups ever again. Had a pair of blundstones that were great i bought for $180 i think but they had to be retired early due to the caps wearing from concrete and health and safety wouldnt allow them on site in case the exposed caps caused a spark. Now i have a pair of Oliver's and there a lot better and have rubber caps on the toes aswell and they were $225 have them about 4 months and there still as good as new.

I think it's cófra mine are and I'm happy with them, not heavy but waterproof like a wellie with steel toes. I have them over a year now and they get plaster, concrete and cow ****e. They are still in good nick. I don't wear them every day but probably average twice a week amyhow

Anyone know if rigger boots /wellies are tax deductible for farmers ? Would take the sting out of expensive ones if they were .

Excuse me for putting my own spin on an existing thread but I don't think another foot ware related query warrants it's own thread. Can anybody recommend a decent brand of slip on boot that is somewhat durable and not too expensive?

I understand that the above may be something of an oxymoron but I'll try to explain it further. The proposed boot will be worn in various circumstances including while working in the mart and won't be cleaned beyond an odd wipe in the grass, that's not ideal maintenance I know but it's the reality. I've discovered that cow manure is corrosive to the stitching and eats away at it, I also have hip trouble and tend to wear out the left boot quicker which I believe is a result of a limp and dragging the boot on that side.

The boots will only be worn at work and tipping about round the yard so style isn't a problem it's solely functionality I'm interested in. I tend to blow through a pair of boots every 6 months regardless of make or price so I'm not interested in spending a massive amount, I understand the whole paying for quality mindset but I've tried it and it doesn't work for me. Laces involve bending down frequently and are a general nuisance so rightly or wrongly it's slip on's all the way.

Up until lately I bought generic dealer boots between 30 to 40 euro and they lasted on average 6 months although comfort was limited and after a long day my feet and legs were sore. My partner bought me a pair of boots in the local Co-op for Xmas and they cost 80 euro, there more comfortable but are nearly wore out already. I value comfort but I think 80 euro every 3 months is a bit excessive. This has got a bit long winded but in summary is there a boot available for let's say 50 euro that is reasonably comfortable and hard wearing that I can toss after 6 months and start over again?

These boots are 65 euro delivered
and are at the lowest price I have seen , other co-ops are 80-100.I wear this brand of boot(each has same sole only different uppers) daily and do around 5-6km a day with
them and get a years use. Would get longer only the industry I'm in requires boots to be presentable.

Also these are the most popular boot amongst trades and I've buddies in Oz to whom I sent this brand over to with accompanying snickers gear.

Did you get the seiva? I hope they weren't too big, I don't think they are small fitting.
