Depends how much you want to spend?

Either your doing some serious mileage in them, or they were not genuine Muckboots!

I've had my hunter balmoral neoprenes for 4 seasons of beating/stalking & rough shooting and they are still in great condition so there my recommendation.

Thats what I have, swear by them.

It's like everything else, personal choice, based on fit, price, usage etc. I've alway leather lined Le Chemeaus, not cheap but in the last 14 years I've had two pairs.

 

[Chanty Wrassler]

Been very happy with my neoprene lined Aigle wellies, had them for a few years, mind you that is for recreational use albeit on some rather rough ground.

Ive had my
muckboots for over a year now and still look new.
My hunting buddy has had the same pair of le chamau for 3 years now and they are still going strong but he did pay £245.00 for them..... Mine were 65.00

Muck boot (Tay Sport) had them for 2 years now and still going strong!

Well dont buy jack pyke wellies, mine lasted 5 months max, in a word they are poo

I can't look beyond Le Chameau for wellies. Pricey, yes but I've worn them for years and have no complaints.

My Le Chameau have just started cracking after 7 years but they have been well worn. I have had loads of Hunters and a couple of pair of Aigle in the past but next next pair will be another pair of Le Chameau.

I've been a muckboot fan for a while, but they're not perfect. Had about four pairs and they last fairly well. I use them daily for feeding purposes at this time of year. The Tay is my boot of choice. They certainly keep you warm whatever the weather and have good traction in the mucky stuff.

There are a couple of areas where they fall down. Because they have some of the neoprene showing on the top half, it's easily damaged by a protruding branch, thorn or worse still, barbed wire and even if they're not cut right through, it tends to make them look shabby. I end up having a shabby pair for keeper jobs and a good pair for shoot days. They also can become very slippery on hard wet surfaces and so you have to be careful in farmyards and on wooden bridges and suchlike.

​Mine were genuine and lasted 8 months!

Le chameau vierzonord - keep you warm and are like slippers, although if you have big calves, make sure you buy those with a wider fitting.

They are pricey, but as with all outdoor kit, you get what you pay for.

+1 muck boot Tay had 2 pairs now worn daily covering between 5-8 miles with the dogs, lasted well but all negative points listed above

I've been using these for last 3 seasons...Seeland Estate Vibram Neo 5mm... reasonably priced... really comfortable and still like new..

​Mine were genuine and lasted 8 months!

My last set lasted about the same amount of time, the first pair lasted for a couple of years of hard abuse, terrier work/ stalking and general use but the pair I have just binned lasted 8-9 months, they wore on the inside on the heels and cracked/leaked across the toes. I wonder if the Tay model is any tougher... I do like muck boots not a fan of normal wellingtons
