Title: wellies
Post by: JSMC on January 18, 2010, 05:28:24 pm: i am gonna get a pair of wellies and cut them down into a boot. i have ruined one pair of gortex berghaus boots, one pair of hi tec walking shoes and now i am wearing my timby boots and they look fecked also.

Wellies it seems are the best we can have. cheap and comf yand totally waterproof and smelly

I have berghaus boots, and they always last me 18 months.
