Most advertisers of Barbour wellies state made in Europe. I can find only one ref to them being made in England. Maybe do a google search and get that verified?

Nora wellies are made in Italy       the ladies one are quite stylish(Antonia from memory)

I am a rigger boot guy, none of this welly stuff - but then I am a bloke.

Got to be one size too big so they are cool in summer and can handle an extra pair of socks in winter.

Joules got back to me - they are made in China, I wasn't expecting anything else, pretty but flimsy 

[northfifeduckling]

I can't believe the reply I just had from Hoggs - "this is information we don't give out - ever - including any customer service email address for the producer!!" Is this classified information which country they are made in???

I have a pair of Aigle an they are the best I've ever had. Hunters don't even come close and don't last long. I've had the Aigles for 6yrs now, so they work out cheaper in the long run and they're still good, worth every penny. I've got a pair of Dana muck type boots says made in Israel in them I don't know if that's quite Europe they are in the Eurovision song contest if that counts

Muckboots - fairly warm but split quickly
Buckboots - warm but split quickly
Sherwoods- warm but split quickly
Mountain horse yard boots- warm, waterproof but only too ankle, durable, have eventually split after several years
..............Hunters (old style)- Bl**dy freezing, cant seem to split them so I still have them !!
will try aigle next time

Zoyks! Reading this post is bad luck - my trusty Barbours have split. And this post got me wondering so I emailed Barbour to see exactly where their wellies are made, guess what? No reply.

It's probably the Aigle route for me then.......

After a lot of HooHa with Hoggs I finally got them to admit that the ones I liked are an import from the Far East, surpise

I now had lovely reply from the first on-line seller to reply - Woolsthorpe Wellies, who derserve to be quoted and shared! They also do deserve our business for such a nice customer service lol

We stopped selling Hunter boots when they transferred their production to China a couple of years ago – it was immediately evident in the fit and quality.

 Le Chameau produce a large amount of their boots now in their purpose-built factory in Morocco. As I understand it, only the zipped boots (Le Chameau Chasseurnord and Chasseur) are still produced in France.

Aigle produce 99% of their standard range of boots in France, with the exception of the cheaper seasonal ranges (that we don’t stock!) and their children’s wellingtons, which are made in the Far East.

Muck Boots, an American company, produce all of their boots in China.

Seeland I am not sure about, I’m afraid. We have only recently started stocking Seeland boots but I will ask next time we are in touch with them (there are no markings on the boots or packaging).

I hope that helps. It is difficult these days to establish just where everything comes from. I don’t believe that any rubber boots are now produced in the UK, and European manufacturers are also becoming thin on the ground! Aigle are possibly your safest bet.

I'm now on my second pair of Muckboots after wearing Hunters for years. The Muckboots are so warm and there's no need for a second pair of socks. I wouldn't wear anything else now and they are much better value than Aigle or Le Chameau.

[waterhouse]

Gumleaf.com sell wellies made in Czech Republic which is quite a lot nearer than China.

Where can I get buck boots?  I've tried looking online but it just brings up steel toe working boots.
