Last winter my wellies split so I need some new ones now. They were cheapo ones and were not very flexible. Can anybody advise any decent wellies, I don't want solid plastic ones again, but prices seem to jump from £20 to £100+ for wellies. I will be wearing them a bit more than before due to moving house and having to walk dogs in muddy woods sometimes. I don't mind spending £100 if its worth it.
Also I wear size 10 shoes, this might sound daft but what size wellies should I get if buying online. Wellies always seem bigger (to make room for big socks I guess)

I bought Muck boots two years ago, used them through two winters and still like new
Here is their website to choose what you want then google about for discounts, totally waterproof and nice and flexible as well as toasty warm in snow and comfortable

Muck boots are excellent. I do some gamekeeping so mine get lots of use. They keep you dry, have neoprene for warmth and even give your ankle some support. They have different models. The "Tay" are the business for muddy woods, but be a little careful on slippy surfaces. They are around mid seventies price-wise I recall. The Derwent are as good in every respect but have less radical soles and are a few shillings less.

As for size, I know wellies are not always the same as your shoes. But with me, I'm a 9 (43) and a muck boot of that size fits, if that helps.

Muck boots look the business - how do they fit round the calf. Some are a bit tight for my 50cm circ legs?

Le Chameau Chasseur - leather lined very warm in winter. Expensive, but you will never have to buy another pair of boots again On a mission to find the perfect Pork Pie. Just Found it (I think)..(Yes I have)

Hunter Balmoral here! I tried the muckboots but found the tread wasn't very deep and it made my feet slip on boggy terrain. Not worried about falling over when walking the dog, but when carrying the 12bore....
With a pair of wool socks I walked the dog for about 4 hours in the snow in Austria and my feet weren't cold at all! 2014 D4 XS
