Hi all I was thinking about buying a pair of neoprene wellies from muck boots for winter fishing. I can't decide whether to go for the ribble http://www.hunterwellingtonboots.com/ribble-muck-boots-green-98-p.asp

or the derwent

I'm drawn to the ribble ones because they are only half length which would offer a bit more flexability around the ankles but I'm not so sure about the all terrain sole on them, I'm not sure how grippy they would be on slippy muddy river banks in winter. I was going to buy the sundridge neoprene boots which I've heard good things about but they seem to have the same grips too

 So have any of you used any of these boots and what are your opinions of them?

Many Thanks

Hi Robert, I have just had a look at the ones you mention and they seem to have a similar grip to the ones I've been looking at. Could i just ask if you find them grippy enough on slippy banks and also do they keep your feet warm, also would you recommend buying a size up  or just my normal shoe size. Sorry for all the questions but I've wasted so much money over the years on winter footwear that just isn't any good ~I'm determind to get it right this time.

Many thanks

Dave,

         They kept my feet warm last winter, and were good on slippy banks. I got one size bigger to add extra socks and they kept feet warm. Ideal for mucking out stables as well....
