I need some new Wellies for walking/shooting across the fields, I ran Gates Hunters for years however they eventually wore out at 20+ years old so I need something similar to see me out :)
Suggestions anyone?

I have some Seeland field boots. Cheap but bloody good. I was surprised but they have an excellent sole, 4mm neoprene and are well made. My shooting buddy is always jealous as his Hunters are really not a patch on them in the real world. (I.e. muddy field rather than town centres!)
Just under 50 quid if you shop around and genuinely good. Try some on.

A lot of people now say that Hunters are no where near as good as they were - maybe because of where they are now made.
When I was looking, I tried several different brands, Aigle, LeChameau, Dubarry and more. The shape of each brand was totally different and sometimes totally unwearable. I have finally gone for Aigle with wellies, a set of thigh waders and as te boots on my neoprene chest waders.
Try them on and see which brand fits best, then choose which of the range you want.

I use Le Chameau Vierzonord... Big believer in you get what you pay for. Hunters are now made in China & as a result the quality has suffered.
