Rich had Avons I think in the past and they lated years last 2 pairs have been rubbish for durability in cracking around the back of the heel ,may have been a bad batch I guess

I still have my spey muck boots they are awesome, normal socks and sitting still in subzero temperatures and they are fine. No issues with them cracking or splitting unlike the useless Preston neoprene boots I got a few years back.

Steve maybe the heavier weight muck boots are more robust against splitting?

Hi JV

sundridge hotfoot boots check thier site i have had a pair over 5 years ,the newer versions probably better. feet get rather warm in them and sweat though ,only notice this when changing out of them, rather damp .you can remove inner to wash ? dry them out they have 5 different versions

I used to wear (still got them in the loft) mukluk waders ,warm for waders as theyre not the most insulating of things ,spotted camuluks out there but your pockets need to be really deep

I wholeheartedly recomend these.

This is the third winter wearing mine and will not hesitate in buying again. I expect them to do next winter as well.

They are ultralight and warm as toast due to the cellular construction. Bit like an Aero chocolate bar.

I believe TF gear also do them branded accordingly and are a bit cheaper.

It annoys me the claims made ,says its xx times lighter but they dont give a crap about their customers because they cannot be bothered give a clue to their weight

Nor calf measurement either for those like myself with chubby calves and what is a "normal boot"?

I had to email three companies today to ask about their postage costs ,all three needed you to fill in YOUR details before getting to the next page before it was revealed ,one even said VAT was added at that stage so the price shown before you put it in your basket was untrue but nothing anywhere that said it was added later ,one even wanted credit card details!

 

Some companies should be closed down they appear not to understand transparency is a great factor in online sales ,one never gave a clue to what payment methods were excepted until i presume the last page! They did however tell you the postage costs ,an email revealed they took paypal so they will get my custom the others can jump

 

 

One was £9.99 minimum postage which makes a parcel the size of a ticktac box a little overpriced!
