Just bought a replacement pair of le chameau neoprene wellies, had 4 pairs before and they have lasted very well considering I wore them almost every day of the year until they fell apart. Normally they are comfortable to wear all day straight out of the box but this last pair just rub my heels, I'm thinking I will take them back as they are of no bl**dy use to me.
Having checked the way they were made against a) my wife's 5 yr old pair and b) my old pair there is a difference in the way the heel is put together. Previously the Neoprene went all the way down the back of the ankle to the sole, now they have fitted some sort of heel section made from a different harder material and it is this that is rubbing, I cannot imagine my socks lasting long and the blisters won't be far behind.
So if you are thinking of buying a pair just check this out, maybe that's why they threw in a 2 pack of welly socks.....
