jjmack Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I am so pleased with my purple muck boots my OH gave me for xmas, but having a problem with socks riding down in them. On the allotment this week I have resorted to taking the socks off and wearing the boot without, which as they are very warm isn't an issue. But smelly boots might occur if i continue on this route. Where can I get wellie socks from? I need something that comes up over the top of the boot I think. i have tried walking sock but they seem to ride down aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treekeeper Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I got some camoflage neoprene wellies for 20 quid off ebay I've had 'em about 3 years now they are lovely and warm the only probleem is one of the heels has a hole and when it gets wet it squishes about so there is no stealthy sneaking up to catch a recalcitrant chook who doesn't want to stop free ranging and go back in the WIR!

ubereglu Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 If anyone wants some warm hunter neoprene wellies at the minute MandM direct have some reduced at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Just noticed a split in one of my wellies this morning . Checked out M&M but they're still quite pricey, even in the sale . Found these on "Easy Wellies" which are a bit less dear but will they last ? Anyone tried them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodinparts Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Those look wonderful abwsco - but what are they? And is that a zip at the back? (high instep often makes for wellie problems for me) I'm down to one leaky pair, - really not a happy state of affairs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Do you mean me (rather than abswco) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodinparts Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Anh...no, though thanks for noticing!...for some reason when I was flipping thro I got stuck on page 1, not noticing that the pretty pic abwsco had posted was back in Nov 09 (at least, it was if the dates are to be believed) - & somehow managed to miss the next page or anything more recent. Hopeless. I have wide calves, wide feet, high instep & leaky wellies...NOT a great combination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 My wellies always split across my foot where I crouch down with the chickens, doesn't seem to matter whether I spend £10 or £40 . Does anyone else have the same problem? I'd willing pay a bit more for some that will last more than 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I managed to get a pair of Muck Boots on e-bay this year for £37. They were used which may not suit everyone but worth a try ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Those look wonderful abwsco - but what are they? And is that a zip at the back? (high instep often makes for wellie problems for me)I'm down to one leaky pair, - really not a happy state of affairs! They're the Muck Boots but it's not a zip at the back I'm afraid. The coloured strip you can see going up the front is the same as the back. I've got a highish instep and not found that a problem but I wouldn't say they're a wide fitting plus the "foot" is fairly solid not like a normal welly.
