Dave, I think you are from 'old school' like me who actiually still speak and write in English. Think he means
I say old chap, any of you old blighters wear Wellington boots for work? Are they any good?
I might be completely wrong though..................
-
dont usually do all that text rubbish, but thought i would give it a go, took me twice as long to write the post btw sheen your interpretation was spot on old fella.
-
why would you work in wellys ?farmers have em
wc wear addidas malmos;or boots unless your a cowboy and then you have cowboy boots ;D
-
I use muck boot and this year they have kept me warm, dry and they are very light...I used to be a Gortex is best type of bloke but Muck boots are just great...I cannot praise them enough....one of my best buys to date.
and I have to import them from the UK....so they cost me extra in shipping too...
-
Wellies are the future.....
-
I too wear muck boots (brand of wellie) and they are the best thing i ever bought, very warm, extremely comfy and 100% waterproof, wore them almost daily since buying a couple of months back. 60 odd quid mind.
-
If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have your feet in your wellies
Oh wellies they are wonderful, oh wellies they are swell
'Cause they keep out the water and they keep in the smell
And when you're sitting in a room you can always tell
When some bugger takes off his wellies
-
Don`t forget to roll the tops over if you get some. And paint L and R on them.

I will look them up. Are they as warm as Goretex? I have Goretex army boots I bought brand new from ebay 18 months ago and they are great. Only £35 as well!
-
Sorry Lee, I never answred your original question.........
I have cheap wellies £10 ish from local fishing shop. They are ok for occasional muddy play with the kids but I wouldnt wantto wear them for work. For a start they are not snug enough and certainly not very flexible.
The muck boots look good and would consider hunter boots.
-
Been wearing my wellies today, no ladder work, 1 to 2 ft of snow about. Old pair of army socks on too ;D Was happy. Only did a couple of hours though.
-
I wear wellies to work.
They lack in warmth (thermal socks needed).
They also lack in ankle support (wouldn't attempt a ladder in 'em)
They are perfect for keeping your feet warm though.
Hunters are very good & very expensive.

If Carlsberg made wellies they would be called Skeetex : because they are probably the best boots in the world, the moonboots are worn by people that work in temps below -50 and there feet are still warm, i use the Skeetex field boots for work fishing and now...... even going shopping in :o
-
Recently bought a pair of AIGLE PARCOURS ISO NEOPRENE wellies, they are the business, went out for a 6 mile walk with the dog in the snow yesterday, tootsies stayed warm as toast all the way round :)
I've tried Le Chameau and Hunter wellies but they're not a patch on Aigles.
-
What they cost Ian?
-
Ive just googled them and they are between £92 and £140. They do look good and would guess they will last a lifetime.
I will look out for them in the shops so I can try them on for size.
-
i have a pair of hunter wellies, so i might give them a go tomorrow, have been wearing mu cat boots, but they still let in the water and my trousers get soaked, so hopfuly the wellies will keep me drier, might need a couple of pairs of socks to keep me tootsies warm.
-
Got them for £97.50 delivering included, never had them off my feet for days. I even bought my dearly beloved a pair, I was going to save them as a christmas present, but was told point blank that "You're not giving me wellies as a christmas present!!!"
She seems to thing they are "essentials" and not luxuries, I agree, wellies are essentials, however AIGLES are luxuries!!
Still don't think I'll win the argument, but they're going under the tree anyway if only to bulk up her pile!!!
-
where did you get them from Ian? have you got a link for the shop?

Good old ebay

The free gift was a cream pashmina (manmade) scarf!!
Sue's cost me 10p more as they didn't have her size:

You spoil her ;D
I just had a look but they havent got size 11. I asked the question when they are back in stock. Will buy as soon as they come in.
Cheers mate

i wore me hunters today, no wet feet no wet legs, great, toes got a little cold by the end of the day but i think i will carry on wearing them until the snow clears
-
I always wear Derry type boots (similar to wellies but shorter, more supple and fur type lined). You can walk and drive in them. Wear them under trousers.
I wear them from Nov to March ish.
Don't need thick socks, just normal. Brilliant. Cost about £30
-
Pair of Dunlop wellies with thick pair of tube ski socks, is the ticket.
