My granny always used to wear hunter wellies when we would go on our walks together, and so I thought I'd treat myself to a nice pair. Around £100 so the price of some decent-ish shoes anyway. She has had the same pair, (Made in Scotland era) for over 20 years, and still going strong.
We have an energetic dog who likes to be walked twice a day (Labradoodle), I will do this duty once 30-60mins of walking, 5 days out of 7.
12 months and 2 weeks later, the buckle broke off. Then a week later, they started leaking! So I wrote to them asking for them to be fixed. They wouldn't do anything about it as warranty was 12 months.
For my birthday in March, I was given a new pair, which again lasted about a year and have BOTH split and started leaking.
I make sure to dry them off and remove mud and store them upside down in the boot room.
Has anyone else found them to be a complete waste of money other than now to be a fashion piece, rather than practical?
