Boots

I've never found any boots including skeetex. Muck boots and others teamed with bridgedale socks or electrically heated socks which are warm enough for me. I usually have to go for a walk intermittently. Haven't tried the toewarmers yet. Having said that I'm quite happy in 40 degree heat when others are flaking. I'll have to go and live near the equator. 😂🤣😂
 
Ive ordered a pair, never actually worn wellys fishing before,normally so called waterproof boots or trainers lol,but the grip looks pretty decent on these👍will report back when they arrive
Mark, if you fish anywhere with a sloping bank get yourself a cheap set of crampons to go with your new boots. The grip might look ok but when the bank is wet you’ll end up doing an impression of Eddie the Eagle. I’ve never found a non studded sole that gives a good, safe grip in the wet and the rain.

Someone put a link up a few years back for an end of line Muck Boot, i got a pair and they were superb, but sadly, the sizes were a bit short. I normaly take a 7, but should have gotten an 8. Even tho, i have worn them in the snow with no socks, and my feet have been fine. ( The model had a laced up front ) ?.
