I've been helping at the yard where Connie and Bea are kept over this cold snap as all the horses are on limited turn out with this awful weather.! I was nearly in tears with cold toes in wellingtons but today have been and found a pair of knee length Muckboots!!!  What a transformation...talk about toasty warm...Would highly recommend theses boots to anyone.  |

Yes, I wouldn't be without mine. I've been toasty warm this whole cold spell.

I liked my muckboots (have just sold them on ebay) but found the grip terrrible ( I had Tynes) and heavy so thats why Iv sold them. I think if I had had the ones with better grip I would have got on better with them. I now have a pair of these. www.tackandski.co.uk/prodpage.asp?ProdID=772 and i love them, I have found them brillaint in the snow. Johnthan also has a pair but his are the short ones  |

Tynes have no grip at all! I have Derwents and they are BRILLIANT! Esks are really grippy too.
I've got the riding boot one as well, they are fab. They might be a bit pricier than ordinary wellies but they are well worth it in the cold weather.

Zelda, those look good. I'm wearing Tynes in this weather and I find them great in the snow and ice, not particularly slippy at all.  |

The Tyne one is the riding wellie, mine doesn't have much sole or grip;  the Tack one is a lady's wellie with a diamond grip which I find lethal! I love my Tack ones, they are purple but I daren't wear them in the wet or ice.  You'd think they'd have called the riding wellie the Tack wouldn't you? Richie - the Derwent is a more blokey wellie, they are green. Reckon you'd look a dude in pink and purple though!  |

Ah i see. I like the Tynes because they don't collect great clumps of mud on the soles when it is boggy but they have enough grip for me on snow and ice.

I'm just amazed at how many different ones there are!! I really hope I don't go a sliding in these Tack ones  ...they seem OK at the moment though.  |

Just don't try to climb a line-wire fence in them - I nearly did myself a serious damage doing that!
