Wellies for well endowed calfs...

I tried on some second hand hunter wellies today and they almost got stuck on my calves.

I need a pair of wellies, for dog walking 3 or 4 days a week, nothing too heavy duty.

Any recommendations? Small budget, £30ish, happy to go second hand,

I used to have super wide calves and had Dunlops which fitted me fine. Was amazed I could get them on.

I have the shorter Hunters. I did have some long ones but they'd make an audible slurp and pop noise when wrestling myself out of them, so the shorter ones are much better Grin

When I was a child with chubby calves my mum used to cut v shapes out of the back of my wellies to make them fit. Maybe try this with a cheap pair?

Try grubs- I have the frost line ones since January, dh had the snow line for 10+ years

Mine were £69 but wear them everyday for dog walks.

See if you can get some secondhand

Huntress if you can get them, they are a wider calf. Not very good quality these days. I had a pair for years then they split in back seam next pair 2 years and they split in same place!

Great ideas
Any suggestions for cheap knee length boots?

Simply be. They do about 5-6 different calf sizes with measurements on the website.
