Toddlers wellies.

[NoNoNoOohmaybe]

Please can I have some help with the rather boring topic of toddler wellies. We've had yet another walk where the wellies split part the way round and there's tears and emergency sandwich bags and then have to be really careful rest of the way whilst they whinge.

We've tried John Lewis, rydale, next, joules and I'm losing faith. They all last about 2 months.

My two are 3.5 and hard on their stuff so waterproof walking boots would be better but as they're tiny with size 7 feet none are small enough.

Are bogs worth it? Or more like snow boots? But then do they get really hot on warmer days like today. As I've got 2 everything is double the cost and doubly galling if I waste a lot of money on crap.

After the last two pairs of hunters i bought my two split we bought decathlon wellies which still looking great after 6 mknths

We got fleece lined ones from a farm supply shop last year and they still fit this year with the fleece cut out 😎

What about Mikk Line wellies? They're made of injection moulded natural rubber so there's no separate sole to fall away, completely waterproof and narrow at the top so mud etc. doesn't get in the gap, and they're hardwearing enough for DS1 to pass them onto DS2 after a year of lots of wear.

Another great thing for me is that they're "barefoot" style, with flexible soles that let toddlers walk normally instead of clopping around like they do in stiff-soled wellies: they're as good as shoes in that sense. DS1 has even climbed trees in his.

Not too expensive either, by the standards of some of the earlier brands you mention - £18 and up here.

There are some great suggestions there. Right to do some online shopping

Thank you all
