wellies in the winter

[codcatcher3000]

alreets as cold approaches was just wondering if any of you use wellies in the winter? what sort of lining do u put it to keep ya toes warm ? neoprene socks ? thermal socks or are they just a bad idea. just found out my usual winter waders are ripped and i cant really get out new(wader wise) as ive just lost my job. iis there a solution to be had with wellies ? i am putting some wading studs at the bottom of these wellies to give betta grip on rocks. any advise appreciated thanks

Personally I wouldn't wear welts in the winter months as there bloody cold. Have heard the skeetex boots are worth a shot. A good pair of walking boots is what you should wear

agree with david get yourself some walking boots you can get waterproof ones for 35 to 40 quid in sports n soccer mate wellies are to cold

Nothing wrong with Wellies for the winter so long as they are decent ones.
Muck Boots are great, neoprene lined & really warm. My first pair lasted about 5 years including Bait digging a fair bit. Not Cheap but i went through 2 pr of £25 Wellies in one year before these.
Have tried Walking Boots, Skeetex Boots etc but these are better imo.

+1 for muck boots plus some winter socks from go outdoors - can't remember the name but they're about £18 a pair.

Completely agree with you Bob, Muck boots are the best by far. Very warm, waterproof with a good sole.
I have some Skeetex boots too which are ok but they are only waterproof to the ankle.

wellies in the winter

Iv just bought myself a pair of extreme snow walking boots from mountain warehouse at royal quays last sat. They are reduced from £100 to £50 and they have a extra 20% off at the moment so £40 they look and feel lovely. Got meself a new pair of salopettes aswell reduced from £80 to £30 in the sale.

Muck Boots are the thing,on their own, fairly warm in winter, toasty with a pair of hiking socks and not stupidly hot in summer if you need to wear them then.

I bought mine for canoeing (proper canoeing not kayaking!) and even when you get water over the top they quickly rewarm and stay warm.

Very comfortable as well, unlike any wellie I've ever worn.

Snag of course is that they are not at all cheap.
