Ok, so mine have finally given up the ghost, I could tolerate the hole I punctured into them with my fork back in the autumn, but they are now letting in water left right and centre, well on the left boot anyway...
So I need a new pair, but they need to be more than a basic welly. I walk the dog in my wellies and cover 5-8 miles a day, its a mixture of concrete 25% and grass 75%, so I need something that is tall so my shins don't get wet, comfortable and well fitting, and not too sweat enducing. The down side of lots of arduous walking is your feet let flavour flood out. (my feet don't smell though, you'll be glad to know)
So some experienced folks out there, which are the best wellies you have bought, I'm happy to spend on them as you would do a good pair of shoes. My current pair of cheapos have covered approximately 2800 miles in the last 14 months, prior to that they were simple gardening wellies and only used for recreational use.
How do I go about finding a good pair of wellies, its all alien to me....
I've had a scan and seen the brands like hunter, bogs, aigle, dunlop and some others, but I've no idea where they place in the market or what I should be looking for in a walking welly.
Any advise from peeps would be appreciated, I looked up best wellies on goggle and got pretty colours, not quite what I was after!!!
