Where can I get really good quality, warm wellies?

I’m a dog walker and buy a cheap pair of wellies almost every year but this isn’t proving to be very cost effective as they tend to split at the seam, aren’t waterproof for long and are not warm (I often end up with numb toes!!).
Can anyone recommend a great pair of warm, long lasting wellies?
I know Hunters are one of the best known names but I’ve been put off by recent reviews saying they are not as great as they used to be.
Just looking for a pair that will last several years, feel comfy for long walks and keep my feet nice and toasty.

I vote Muck Boots too. With four dogs and three horses, we spend a fair bit of time outside in all weathers and they've never let me down.

I have a shorter pair of Arctic Muck Boots for cold days and taller normal ones for wet days. Love them.

Decathlon do some excellent wellies with neoprene lining.

I'd recommend walking boots rather than wellies. Go for leather with neoprene, this helps to keep the weight down. You'll get much better support and can still wear thick socks.
By tying laces up snug, you keep the elements out and trap your warm body heat in.

We all wear Le Chameau wellies on the farm and they withstand being worn all day every day for many years. FIL and DH wear the neoprene lined ones with wool socks as they get really cold, whereas MIL and I wear the jersey lined ones as we get too hot. I do wear wool socks with them if it’s very cold though.

Thanks to those who recommended Warm Wellies. I have just taken delivery of some wide fit ones and given them their first outing. Very comfortable and snug Smile
