What's the best way to remove wellies?

Got some interesting traditional angler's clothing you want to talk about.

Sounds like your wellies are too small...

Thank you gentlemen - and for a good laugh too! What I tend to do is trap the one boot's heel with the other foot and lever the foot loose by sliding it up the boot. Then I do the same with the other boot (with the bootless foot). Once the foot's heel is loose the boots come off pretty easily. I'm relieved to know that there probably isn't is better way!

Just what I said buller, but I leave the first boot just on so I can use the side edge of, the half on boot, to prize the other off. If it is dry then no need to leave the boot half on, but if it is wet and muddy leaving the boot half on gives you the outer edge to keep your socks from getting wet and muddy.... You know what I mean don't you.

Mine are one size larger than I normally buy for all other footwear- slip on and off easily and are more comfortable if wearing for long periods
There is no peace on earth like the peace of fishing in the early mornings
