Dirt BootUnisex Neoprene Wellington Pro-Sport Ankle Muck Boot Shoe

I paid full price for these boots - this is an unbiased and unsolicited review - trust me if any gear I buy has faults, I review exactly as I find.The boots are superb. They fit exactly according to the stated size.The slip on and off very easily - the top is not too tight but snug and flexible. They are totally cocooning and comfortable on your feet - I have worn them for 8 hours at a stretch and I forget they are on - They are reassuringly heavy, but you only notice them for a minute. The heel-kicks work very well allowing me to slip them off without bending down or using my hands - so easy! I have not tested them in full winter conditions, but fully expect them to be warm and snug even in very cold conditions - you can just tell.The sole has a mixture of hard plastic 'points' and tough rubber cleats, which gives them 4X4-like grip - they don't slip, even on wet seaweed covered rocks. They are 100% waterproof and I have tested them for hours in deep-mud, long dewy grass and torrential rain. They have a very robust spade cleat to allow pushing hard on a spade without harming the sole. I dig bait in rocky-mud and these are holding up well.Overall - I am delighted with these wonderful boots!! My feet are 100% dry at last. All the other 'walking' boots I tried leaked eventually, when subject to miles of walking in long dewy grass and surface slurry mud for 8 hours! They are a match for anything on the market and not as expensive as some other makes.Thanks for these great boots. My fellow sea-anglers and archers will be buying them soon.

Size UK 13 EU47Second pair of these boots I have bought, my present pair have lasted nearly three years of constant heavy gardening use in our large garden, I have worn them out.They are both comfortable, waterproof, durable, great grip in all weathers/ground surfaces, do fit true to size (EU men's sizing with men's UK nearest UK size).If the new pair last as long, which look exactly like my present pair, for a short pair of water proof boots would have no problem recommending them.Like all footwear you buy for what you will be using them for, and pay for the quality you wish to buy.

First business of my day is to walk the dogs on the fields nearby, Usually this entails bootsocks, wellingtons and a lot of struggling to get everything on and a comfortable fit.AS the fields have very short grass a boot which covers up to mid calf was overkill, what I wanted was a slip on waterproof shoe with good traction and ease of fitting, these were just the job.It takes seconds to put them on in the morning, they cover only what's needed and have good traction on some of the muddier paths.If buying a pair only state your usual shoe size, buying a pair which are larger will be a mistake as there is no way to tighten them up when worn, I wear mine with a air of hiking socks for warmth and they are perfect. Just remember they are shoes so they can only be used to walk through shallow water, up to 20mm and even then go slowly so no splashes over the top.Addendum to original post, they now leak badly on both feet at the toe area, this is obviously a manufacturing fault as they haven't been used every day as its been mostly fine weather I have been using a pair of textile hiking boots for my walks.Contact with Koala products was very slow and took 3 days to answer my query, first they asked "Is it sweat from your feet?" when I posted a pic of my socks showing obvious wet patches only in the toe area their response was that "its very odd, we have had one boot with a leak a number of years ago but this was caused by a sharp object puncturing the rubber resulting in the leak", we have never come across both boots leaking before.I asked about warranty and their response was. " please return at your own cost to XXXXX if a manufacturing fault is present we can offer a repair of the item, if this is not possible we would issue a partial refund based on the remainder of your six month warranty".Or in other words I get to Pay £10 to post them back by registered mail, added to the £7.99 I paid in postage to them, which means I pay £17.99 in postal charges so they can attempt a repair. If a repair is not possible I get 50% of what I paid for the shoes less postage. So to wear these shoes for approx 20 hours it will cost me £35.48, this puts me well out of pocket considering they have been worn very rarely over the 2 months of ownership.And any repair would only be a temporary fix and they are likely to leak again in the future.

Great boots, this is the 3rd pair i have bought for walking my dogs over Dartmoor on a daily basis (3 to 5 miles). They are one of the most comfortable pairs of boots i have worn. No breaking in. They feel like your most comfortable pair of well worn in walking shoes from the get go. They are totally waterproof, give a good degree of support, have a well cleated sole which supplies good grip in wet boggy conditions. The first pair lasted about 12 to 18 months, I am now 12 months into my second pair and these ones are packed away waiting to make an appearance. I have tried numerous neoprene boots and wellies over the years. These are the best. I did not receive them at a discounted price in return for a review.

Had these a couple of weeks now and worn everyday when walking the dog. Kept my feet dry so far. They fit was excellent, I am a size 10, and they are very comfortable with no rubbing or discomfort. Not as cheap as a pair of wellies, but I wanted something with a substantial walking sole which these have rather than wellies which often don't. Easy to put on with a pull tab at the back and take off as they have a solid 'lug' on the heel. Very pleased so far and can recommend them if you want something waterproof to walk in during this wet weather we are having. They aren't breathable so you could get some condensation but so far this hasn't been noticeable for me.
