Built for looks not endurance I fear..... My problem area is the ankle... Too little support - after 4 days at a soggy festival one pair nearly gouged through my Achilles...... Ouch! Took ages to repair. I like the look of the Aigles... Shaped at the ankle & a sturdy sole....HillyFillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04481933033524453857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176799358531491903.post-44490880243965395572014-11-22T19:47:07.952+02:002014-11-22T19:47:07.952+02:00Now THAT is how long a pair of wellies should last...Now THAT is how long a pair of wellies should last!

They were so comfortable :( The company doesn't exist any more - I think it specialised in wellies for rural wear. I was horrified when I bought a replacement pair from Hunter that they were not guaranteed for 'heavy' wear, which seemed to consist of walking the dog. We'll see if they last 30 years.

You mentioned Barbour and I missed it so all I'll say is based on their boots I think they could be worth investigating!!

I really wanted a pair of Hunter wellies but your review (and the price!) has made me reconsider. They are so expensive now and if they're not built to last I can't really justify a pair. I'm impressed that the Aigle boots are more comfortable than your slippers!
