Everywhere I look I come across the same Wellington Boots ( Town & Country
etc) sold at Garden Centres, marketed at gardeners, that are useless for
digging as they haven't got a steel mid-sole and digging pad and will fail
if they are used for digging. Some fail very dramatically and painfully as I
know!
However after talking to the chap on the Hunter stand at Chelsea it appears
they make a suitable boot...

anyone used them? Are they any good?
Anyone found a real gardening Wellington boot of another make?

Have you got a store like Tucker's (seedsmen and country store) or Mole
Valley Farmers near you, Bob? Ray wears wellies sometimes but the other men
here tend to wear steel capped boots. Don't know about the sole but I'll
ask when I remember!
