I find wellies really cold and uncomfortable, rigger boots for me every time. Mine are old site boots with steel toes and soles and the extra protection is good too.

I had a pair of hunters for years but like Alison they are cold. Also hunters aren't very good quality anymore. Recently bought dickies rigger/wellies, they do come up on the small side but they are lovely and cosy

Not a fan of wellies for the same reason Alison mentions. I just buy a pair of work boots from Wickies. Last a lot longer and afford better support for my ankles.

I have a pair of neoprene boots called muddies. They are soft, warm, comfy, and given that I run around in them all winter and have had them for at least three years now I cannot even say they are expensive anymore - I would have gone through several pairs of ordinary wellies by now

PS. neoprene is that stuff that diving suits are made of - great insulation!

I have Muck Boots, sound similar to Muddies. Just been digging in them and no clammy feet.

I don't know how much money you want to spend on it. I have two pairs, one from Cancer Research UK for £15.99 and another ones from Sport Direct for a fiver. I bought Wellington shocks in Poundland and The Works.

Decathlon has also cheap Wellington boots type.

I have a small allotment and garden, so I don't see the need to spend £50.00 in a good pair of boots. I have always buy cheap Wellington boots and they last me years.

Like Alison said - a pair of rigger boots for me.

Screwfix normally sell quite cheap versions (about the £20 - £25 mark) . They usually last me at least a couple of years.

Stood in a big puddle yesterday at the plot and realised it's time for a new pair.

Got mine when I worked on site in about 1995 and been using them on the Lottie for about the last 6 years and although very scruffy looking they're still going strong
