kerryegg Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I wear croc wellies. Nice and wide and easy to get off if covered in mud. Nice and warm with socks and completely washable. Price a real rip off though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Another warning about Joules wellies; I bought a pair of their Carrick yard boots just before Christmas (from another outlet as Joules were out of stock). I am a size 2.5 and ordered a size 3; they turned up and the right boot was a whole size smaller than the left and impossible to get on, spoke to the retailer (Dornoch Outdoor, who were brilliant) sent them back and they sent me a pair of size 4s as they'd run out of 3s. Those were lovely - stylish and warm, but split up the back on both boots. Spoke to Dornoch again who had had several pairs returned with the same fault; they have refunded me the full amount plus the cost of postage. I sent an email and photos to them and Joules... Joules couldn't have been less bothered! I now have a pair of lovely warm (and durable) muck boots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Here's the response I got from Joules.... silly me thinking they could be worn in wet weather. Good afternoon Laurie, Many thanks for your email. I am sorry to hear that your daughter's wellies have deteriorated so quickly. I am not aware with any common faulty in any of our welly's, however, they are more of a fashion item then a hard wearing work boot. I chased up this comment and got this in return: "Our current range of wellies are fashion pieces and therefore may not be suitable for heavy usage." I wonder what counts as 'heavy usage'.... wearing for more than one weekend at Glastonbury - and only then in dry weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not aware with any common faulty in any of our welly's, however, they are more of a fashion item then a hard wearing work boot. I'd better not buy Joules wellies any time soon then, as I want to be kept dry and warm when I'm outdoors rather than look like a fashion item.
