Reply to comment by BloodyLlama in Treated myself to a pair of le chameau wellies. Loving the quality so far by macnerd93

I've yet to find a pair of rubber boots that hold up past 6 months of farm life. Almost all of mine have failed where the toes bend. The amount of constant flex causes them to crack in that area and at that point their useless for winter/wet weather.

I've found Dunlop Puroport to be fairly good at holding up to fairly constant toe bending.

I'll give these a go, I've bought so many different brands, each just fail on me after each winter season.

So far these have lasted me 18 months of dealing with slop and often fairly deep water, plus a lot of crouching and kneeling down. Lot of colleagues have buckbootz so I might try those when these eventually go as they seem to like them.

I have a pair of Dunlop wellies and they really are superb. I don't wear them for farm work, but I have been walking over rough ground in them for years and they're showing no signs of wearing out.

I’m not sure if these are made by the same company that make their “oil resistant” work boots.

Literally a month and had a completely smooth sole, worst boots I’ve ever bought.
