Nice Wellies for HUMONGOUS calves?

[Ireallywantsomechips]

I’m looking for recommendations for a new pair of wellies that are as comfy as wellies can be, but that will also accommodate my chunky calves! So I guess they need to be quite short?

Dubarry ExtraFit might work, waterproof leather boots that will last for years. Dublin do a wide fit too for about a third of the price

Muck boots... warm, comfy and neoprene so will fit your calves. Roll down so easy to put on.

Jileon are good for wide calves and not bonkers expensive.

Yes, I've got Jileon ones and my calves are mahoosive, I got the half height ones too because I also have the world's shortest legs, yay me!

They are expensive true - but otherwise I wouldn't be able to wear wellies.

Another vote for Jileon.

Third the Jileon wellies. Good for huge calves and super comfy too.

I had Jileon and they were terrible - festival type wellies. Didn't last a year and they were horribly uncomfortable to walk in.

Aigle do a Parcours for wider calves, and Muck Boots are a good fit. I've got a pair of both and walk for an hour twice a day in them - toasty warm feet and well supported ankles. They're worth the investment.

Oh very timely! I have Dubarry extra fit which are lovely but at the end of their life and I don’t really want to spend quite so much replacing them. Jileon look perfect

I got normal ones and cut a slit down the back!

More practical than pretty but the shorter dunlops are great. Last forever

I buy ankle length wellies from Joules.

I couldn't get into regular fit wellies! They won't go all the way up as my calves are too big! I found some Radley plain green ones with a gusset you can adjust with a strap and they are so much more comfy! I had to let the strap out quite a bit.

Amazon.. wide leg wellies

The shorter Dunlops are very good for chunky calves. I used them for years, until I bought a pair of neoprene wellies from Mountain Warehouse. Oh. My. So comfy and so warm. And I can tuck my trouser legs in, too!

The Aigle Parcours That has the vent bit on the side. I have calves like a Premier League footballer and can wear the thickest trousers inside those.

Always buy on sale!

Another vote for Aigle Parcours Vario - with the adjustable strap at side - mine have lasted 6 years with twice daily use in the winter. I did see them for £108 somewhere - no need to pay full price.

Aigle Parcours with just the zip at the side. You don't need to do the zip all the way up, I can't on mine but they look good regardless. Neoprene lined and very comfy.

These. Where the slit is at the side, opens up a large vent. I zip mine up about halfway, never seen anyone wear them fully zipped!

Thank you so much everyone! So much to look at!

I have huge calves and got wellies from Evans for less than £30
