I don't know if you want fleecy ones but I got a pair a few weeks ago with a fleecy liner & they seem pretty good on wet ground: www.independentoffers.co.uk
They were £25 though, lining comes out to wash.
Not very pretty I'm afraid.

Thank you for that not worried about looking pretty as they are only for walking dogs and in the kennels but they start at size 4 and i am only a size 3 so not good i am afraid but thank you

I saw some wellies /boot type in a garden centre recently so it may be worth taking a look there!

also found these says they have good grip but a bit expensive..

Try a pair of hunters, they are dear but you should fit in the kids sizes which are less, they have a good chunky sole and will last for years.

I've got a pair of Hunters - they weren't cheap but they are very comfy and have lasted years and years as tatty-ead says.  Completely waterproof too!
Wish they did them in all those colours when I got my boring green ones.  Traditional I suppose but still boring LOL!!

i have both aigle and chameaus and both have excellent grip.
- By ChristineW Date 04.02.08 18:18 UTC
Chameaus are far superior to Hunters/Barbours anyday.
- By STARRYEYES Date 04.02.08 19:23 UTC
WOW not surprised at that price !!!

I've got a pair of crocs wellies. They are brilliant. Very comfortable and so light you hardly know you are wearing them.

> WOW not surprised at that price !!!


I have the Le Chameaus that are priced at £40 on that link and they've lasted me 4 maybe 5 years - can't remember when I bought them.  I don't think Hunters are any cheaper?

I slip in the mud in my Hunters.  I use walking boots when it is muddy now, waterproof and a much better grip.
- By STARRYEYES Date 04.02.08 21:42 UTC Edited 04.02.08 21:53 UTC
I must have been looking at a diferent website ...they were £161 for a pair of wellies  :)http://www.bestinthecountry.co.uk/acatalog/Le_Chameau_Wellington_Boots.html

same website LOL

I have walking boots too, much better for walking long distances in as they support the foot better - even they were a bargain £22 - brand new Regatta coated leather ladies walking boots!
- By bevb [in] Date 06.02.08 08:23 UTC
I got fed up of slipping in wellies, so I went on ebay and bought myself a brand new pair of walking boots still with label on and in the box for a whole £3.70.  They don't slip at all in the mud and wet and keep my feet dry.
- By brac Date 06.02.08 08:46 UTC
walking boots are ok but i need somthing i can kick of at the back door that's why i like wellingtons as they are easy to take of
thank you for all your help i will be looking at the one's that have been talked about on here.
- By cocopop [gb] Date 06.02.08 12:47 UTC
I've had my Hunters 25 years, they cost me £5! Though I think they cost 10 times that now. I love them :-)
- By jackbox Date 06.02.08 12:59 UTC
Used Hunters for yrs, both with the horses and dogs.

But I  treated myself to some  Le Chameau a few yrs back,  would`nt use anything else now,  yes they are expensive,  but they will last you for yrs and yrs.

Just looked at "thebestinthe county "site.... gosh that is a good price,    I paid over 200 for mine.
