New wellies needed

[paul newham]

Always had le chemeau but there quality is going down hill. Last 2 pairs both split at the heal and not keen on wet feet. I was recommended hoggs of fife but speaking to a stalker who's had 4 pairs he says they split on the top every time.
What you guys wear that you would recommend?
P.S. I like full length zips as I find they fit better.
Thanks.

I have a pair of leather lined seeland with the full side zip, been very good so far, and comfortable.
the mrs has the same but made by gumleaf, a friend and neighbour started the company, they too have been trouble free and comfortable.

Skellerup. Might not look as sleek as Le Chemeau but they are a zillion times better.

I have been using insulated Quatros for years now without any failure. They are simply superb.

You might prefer these ones

Quatro Sport

Handcrafted from durable, comfortable natural rubber, Quatro Sport is a knee height gumboot with a side gusset to accommodate broader calves. It features…

Another vote for Skellerup Quattro Sport, brilliant boots

Bought a pair of Harkila Forrester as new wellies on here a while back and they're a great job. Been up on the snowy hillside and the grip is phenomenal plus the full zipper means they're a joy to take off compared to non zippies

Aigle Parcours, I have done a few seasons in them now and they have taken some abuse, very comfy with some good insoles and still going strong

Another vote for Aigle Parcours ISO

Bought a pair of Musto wellies about a year ago, didnt really need them at the time but ex display and got a cracking deal.

Just started using them as my 12 year old le Cham's have final given up but find them very heavy

Breath deeply before reading any further, this may cause some outrage and offence.
Hunters,
there I've said it. Bought a pair on spec last September after a decade of steering well clear of the brand and so far no complaints. They came with a 12 month warranty and a substantial discount,
I still have the receipt just in case, but currently happy out.

I have the same, been beating through the dreaded brambles for many a season now, and stalking,sitting in high seats hours on end with the neoprene insulation I have no cold feet any more,They are the best boot ever.I fixed a leak with StormSure, now they are still holding up.They were a Xmas present from 20 years ago! No shine just plenty of honest wear.

Funnily enough I only mentioned this today, Aigle Parcours, best wellies I have ever owned, they must be 5 years old and still going strong, and I put them through some hard work.
Cheers

Dunlop Puroforts (non safety) are very good. They are really light and made of some sort of nylon as opposed to rubber. My mate actively stalks and game shoots in his and their in their 5th year without showing signs of failure.

Ankle support as with most Wellingtons is poor and the fit in the calf a bit snug in my opinion. But for £55-70 ish they are really hard wearing. Mine are in their second year and coping well.

hunter soveriegn boot fit i hate wellies but can wear these allday bs

 

[Class870]

Just replaced my aigle parcours iso with another pair. Wear them nearly every day over the winter months on the farm. No cold feet

Wellies don't last whatever make you get I find. My policy is to get a pair that have good soles and fit well. If possible giving a bit of ankle support and go with them. If they last well, all the better. My current ones are those Härkila Forrester zipped ones and they are pretty substantial, grip well and are warm. They are a bit heavy though if that matters. I used to recommend Muck Boots, they were a great boot for the price, but the price isn't what it was. Agile are good. There's some sense in not paying too much for wellies and just wearing them when your boots won't do.

Second these. had 3 pairs over 15 years so think that should beat any other brand. they probably weigh about half of all the others and cost half or less. Put a pitch fork through one and it still was water proof.
Wouldnt buy anything else. If any downside its the non safety version I use doesn't have as good ankle support but then I dont use them for hill walking.

mine are used daily coz im a farmer!
