Hi folks,

Try these:

http://www.distinctlybritish.com/cgi-bin/distinctly.storefront/en/Product/CUD-7435

These are from Tayberry's of Horncastle, I think :-\.

I saw some in Tayberry's factory sale they have now and then.  I was told that only the bottom was waterproof so didn't buy some.  Wish I had now they were only £12 >:(

I just got a pair slightly different from the pic, but they are "The Ribble" from the Muck Boot Co. Got them from our local farm supply shop £32 inc VAT. Superb. No kidding. www.muckbootco.co.uk

Hi All

whatever kind of boots you have here is a little tip to keep your feet warm

remove the insole and place on top of sheet of tin foil

cut shape in foil of insole

glue with a soft glue ,even a pritt stick the tin foil to the underside of your in sole

replace in boot and enjoy far warmer feet.

The tin foil reflects the cold down coming from the boots sole in contact with the cold ground and the same foil reflects the heat from your foot back in.

It acts as a barrier and an insulator, Dr Martens were so taken with it they sent it
abroad for testing.(hopefully not the Bahamas)

Don,t knock it just try it, a simple and cheap tip from someone who has spent his share of working in the freezing North

Anyone else got any other little tips we can all try?

similar vain and works well

DIY stores do Foil backed bubble wrap, cut the sole shape out of that, the bubbles pop ( of course ) but it lasts longer than tinfoil

I wear clarkes shoes that are gortex lined.

The grips not very good.

I don't believe cheap wellie shoes with a bit of fur work.
