The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

I might look at a pair of those lightweight boots come the spring, as the wellies are okay but too sweaty as it warms up...

Karrimor Cheviots for out with the Bassets and Beagles and fishing when not getting wet. Made in Italy with vibram sole 3 years hard wear and going well.

My barbour wellys
I keep spare pair in the van as I'd forgot my boots one day and managed to buy some off a Romanian car wash attendant. Saved me a long drive home to fetch them.
He was very puzzled about the whole transaction

Smelly old cheap green Wellies for me. Complete with 3 repaired splits in them .

Le Chameau Vierzonord for me. Incredibly comfortable and seem to last and last. I even wear them for hiking high into the hills at the height of summer.

Your day can't have been as bad as that poor car wash guy who had to spend the rest of the day washing cars in his socks.

Either Neoprene Muckboots with Supertracks screw in boot studs or Altberg leather walking boots, Yorkshire’s finest (why is it that UK walking boot makers always have German sounding names?).

I love my Scarpa Asolo boots, they have been retired now but I wore them for thirty years. I did not have the heart to have them re soled to left them to relax and retire as they are. I would choose these boots to be burried in when I am long gone.

I do love my Argyll wellies, love the fit and look.
