I get through wellies at an amazing pace.  For some reason, I always end up with one of them leaking .......and not much good with a leaky well am I?  I am also very good at putting my muck fork through the top of the wellie, narrowly missing my feet ........

Cut old wellies right down to shoe level to make emergency slip ons when have to run outside to get washing in etc. Hermit

langdon, we both had new wellies as an early Christmas present... they're steel-toe-capped, cos I always seem to get a goat or pig stood on my foot when I go in to them!
Maybe Roxy could do with some like mine?!

Our pup chewed my OH's Muckboots - thankfully no hole, but they now have flappy bits of material hanging off them.
