I keep promising to get myself a new pair - and the socks do have a certain appeal :lol:

I have very small feet - size 31/2-4, but I have very very large calves. When I was riding (many years ago!) i had to buy riding boots that had XXXL around the top!!! So - at the moment Ive got a really cheap pair of green wellies that arent really high enough - and every pair of socks I wear with them ends up rolling up under my foot arch. Even my walking socks which are great with my walking boots - don't work. So - am I likely to get some Hunters wellies that fit my fat calves in a size 4, and a pair of socks that will stay up??? I dont really know much about Hunter Wellies!

The socks just make them EVEN better! Half pint, in my boyfriends pet shop they do a wide fit, my sister in law is going tonight as she has size 4 feet and wide calves so i will let you know how she gets on! she is also a horse rider! As for the socks, they will stay up, as they actually fold over the top of the welly, so it would be pretty hard for them to fall down. This is my first pair of hunters and I have never worn such comfy excellant wellies, i think if u have a pair you wont buy anything else after!!

Hunters are brilliant - I looked at a pair of Dubarry boots recently - but at �250+ I didn't look long :rolleyes:

I am absolutely positive that there is a Hunter wellie stand at Crufts that make them made-to-measure there for you ;)

Not sure I can wait until Crufts for a decent pair as its like a swimming pool in most grassy areas now!

Competition Manager Posts: 2,385 Group: Competition Manager Member #484 Joined: June 20, 2007	Hmmm well mine came from my local pet shop where I could try and bring back if necessary! Other than that i guess it'd have to be from a website, and mayeb try ringing before ordering to see if you can take them back if you are not happy. They sell them here, and Robinsons are usually quite reasonable on price, but P&P is a bit hight http://www.robinsons-uk.com/products/Produ...opGroupCode=001 Otherwise, i am not much help after recommending them lol, cos i got them from my pet shop, which i doubt u wanna travel all the way to oxfordshire to go to! :D

Tempted to go to the store one lunch time and try them on for size and order on line?

Muck boots are brilliant too and they keep your feet warm.

Unfortunately I find wellies too difficult to walk very far in so I don't own a pair :rolleyes: I bought some waterproof gaitors which have pretty much turned my walking boots into wellies :thumbsup:

I have found them a bit more expensive than Mole Valley in the past but well worth a look!
