Best Wellies

[Stichintimesavesstapling]

I need new wellies! Probably a few pairs. Please recommend brands for:

1/ Pair for the school run, that can survive a trek through a muddy field. Had muck boots which have been good but I find they lose tread very easily

2/ A pair for wet commutes, so probably shorter wellies and a bit 'nicer' or even look like normal boots.

Crucially both pairs need to be waterproof, warm and durable, which you'd think would be a given but I've found out to my cost how many brands leak!

I just got these (I found them cheaper in my size on Amazon)

They are amazingly comfortable, with cushioned soles. I expect to get much more wear out of them than the more traditional ‘uncomfortable to walk much in’ variety. They also do them in a Chelsea Boot style 🙂
