Hi Everyone.
I keep looking at the Tyne rubber riding boots and NEARLY keep buying a pair.
They just seem expensive for rubber riding boots and I keep thinking "why don't I just ride in Winter in my Hunter Wellies?" LOL I don't want to wear my leather boots as I have to trudge up a muddy field first to get Sam.
Reviews I have read seem VERY mixed - either split in a couple of months or are wonderful.
Please can I have your comments good & bad before I seriously consider investing in a pair (or can someone recommend some other winter boots?).

I am on my second pair Caroline and they are great, very warm and waterproof, ideal in wet muddy condtions.

i love mine to, and they are nice to ride in too, iv had mine 2 years and have been great, they have just stated to split at the top between the rubber and material bit i think it must be from my saddle, but there is still loads of wear on the sole

I love mine and they are just about all I wear outside winter and summer. They are much more supportive than normal wellies as well as being exceptionally comfortable and warm in winter. I wouldn'#t feel safe riding in Hunter wellies but these are designed to be ridden in.
The first few pairs I had split after just a couple of months but they were replaced free of charge. The design has been improved so that they don't split now - a different glue is used and the rubber goes higher up than the older version. I wewar mine leterally every day for a few hours and they last me about one year. IT is the sole at the heel and ball of foot that finally wear away but that would be the same with any wellie. In fact I think they last me longer than Hunter type wellies would.

I have just bought Nicki her 2nd pair (first ones lasted over 2 years and she never had them off). They are great. I can't wear them and taking them off is painful due to dodgy achilles but I do wear the muck boot wellies every day for my yard chores. I love them.

I love mine too, had them over 3 years and they'restill perfect. I use them at home and for endurance so they've seen many many miles.
Very comfy and warm too.
