verrymerry Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I got a pair of bog standard green Dunlops 2 years ago as an emergency last minute replacement, they were only £9.99 and they're v.comfy and still in good nick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord stradmor Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 just blagged a pair of Crocs Crocband wellies. They're ridiculously comfortable and weigh about the same as a packet of rizla.Not sure the soles are going to offer much grip tho...http://www.crocs.com/crocs-crocband-jaunt-...cgid=womens-new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddyslingbax Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Kind of, very tall socks (knee lenght at least), should be wool or high wool content (but fleece is getting common, I find it sweaty) and usually extra thick round the toes, heels and pads of the feet. When you put the wellies on, you should be able to pull your socks up far enough to fold them over the top of the wellies like sohttp://www.hunterfestivalboots.co.uk/socks-c-147.htmlDoing that is not purely about style,I found doing that helps the feet breath a lot better as every step just seems to pump air around the inside of the boot.

featherboa Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I finally purchased Hunter's this year and they are comfier than all the wellies I have had in the past. When it comes to welly socks, I got some from Yeomans and they are ok, but I find that they make my feet rather hot (think it's the fleecey material they are made from).This year I may go for long hockey type socks and see how they feel!

mahonio Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 would a decent pair of football socks do the same job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peetle Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 This will be my 7th Glasto and I'm bringing my wellies since the two previous occasions when I haven't were '98 and '05 - both mudbaths.Even though I won't be needing them, I'll wear skiing socks inside as they're elasticated and stay up - you don't want your calves razored by the tops of your wellies.Also, take the insoles out of a pair of trainers and put them in your wellies. They should be the same size and are much more comfy if you're standing about in them all day. Wellie insoles are usually pretty crap, especially if they're cheap wellies (like mine).
