Do I go for fleecy lined or should I buy size bigger and get a wellie liner?

Any suggestions ? (My old ones just split at the ankle, I bought my normal size but I have to make a slit in the back to fit my calves in !)

I have a pair of Toggi wellingtons,they are now into their third year which is a record for me!!

They are not fleecy lined but I just bought my usual size and I can get socks on with them! They come in different colours too!

They are stronger than the "fun" type of wellies,I went through 3 pairs in one year,they tend not to be designed for hard work!

I have a pair of the Crocs wellies but they size perculiar,the size I have does not really have much space for socks and the size above is massive!!

Hi,

If you have the big calf fitting into wellies problem may I recommend Hawkeshead wellies with liners. Works like a dream.

Hunters are my favourite because they fit your foot really well.  I am a 5 but buy a 6 and wear thick socks with them in the winter.  At least then  I can warm up the socks on the radiator before putting the wellies on - keep me nice and warm!
