Default Wellies

There was a discussion a while ago about wellies - which made me look
up some to buy but have lost the links.

Desperately need some now (Probably need waders if it keeps raining
though! LOL)

Reinforced bit in the bottom for digging a good idea or not?

A good idea is probably the answer. When I was working as a surveyor, much
of my time was spent on farmland and wellies were the order of the day.
Issue steel toecaps but no re-inforcement in the instep. I got used to
wearing them, and the only comment I would make would be the steel toecap
"sucked" the heat from your toes.

When retired I bought some green wellies "Hunters" and they were so thin, I
could tell the date on a 5p piece through the sole. I wouldn't recommend
these for digging.
