Chameau here too.

I have the leather lined ones because I am totally precious :lol: ;) but they last ages and are the most comfortable wellies I have ever had. The last pair lasted for eight years!

Bought OH the new ones they have brought out - the agricultural ones, as his Christmas pressie. The sole has been developed in cahoots with Michelin and OH says the grip is superior to any other makes he has had in the past. He has so far used them for beating in, shooting in and taking the dogs out and, given the saturated ground condition, has not slipped at all.

Toggi Wanderer Plus for me!
I've worn them for the last 12 years (on my second pair)
Don't cost the earth (£75-85)
Very comfortable( regularly walk5/6 hours in them)
Give great ankle support (getting older and heavier prone to the odd tumble!!)lol :oops:

Had le chameau found that they didn't support my ankles enough. Brought hunter leather hawksworths wore they for 10 months and they kept giving me blisters. Sent them back got a refund from Harrads (capital A) brought dubarrys to replace them back in October. They are going to the shop tomorrow with a leak.

Pick the bones out of that lot.

I got bought some hunter Balmoral's just over a year ago and love them. My brother inlaw has le chameau's and they certainly look more flexible/different kind of rubber.

All personal preference but you can't beat a good pair of lined wellies.

I bought these in December the prestige ones and they are ruined by briars already 3 nice rips along the tops, my Le Chams the heel fell off and the Seeland ones lasted 3 seasons so they were the best value for money of the lot and dont even get me started on what a pile of rubbish Dubarrys are

Going to bite the bullet and buy a pair of Meindle boots instead this season.
