Hunter Wellies

If that fails, TKMAxx get them every now and again! The adult ones are only £30ish in there too, but the popular sizes sell out quickly. In my local one they had the pink, blue, green and silver ones.

I have size 4 kiddie ones.

And I think they are worth the money - I wear mine nearly every day for the dog walk and have had them for 3 or 4 years.

The main difference is that they don't come as high on your leg - instead of almost knee high they're more calf length. And they have a little reflector on the back!

I will see if I can dig out a photo to show you where they come to if you like?

The kiddie ones are shorter though I believe. I know you get adult short ones too, but the kid ones will be lenght proportional to kiddies... can you go try on a pair of kids ones in the shops to see if they'll do?

The fact they are calf length is the reason why I wanted them. Yes, can you flash a photo Kharvo?

I want some too and had looked at the kids ones, but i would worry about the width of the calf..i have trouble with calf sizes on boots anyway - does anyone know if theyre much different?

someone at work has the jimmy choo ones theyre lully!

Damn - can't seem to find a photo. Will take one when I get home tonight!

What colour are you thinking?

I could do with some, especially for walking the pooch, I have a pair I got from Asda about 4 years ago, they've been fab but they don't keep your feet warm!

I just want black ones; they'll go with everything that way!

I'm buying them a size bigger because I want to wear thick socks with them.

Good plan.

My current ones are light blue but I keep eyeing up the navy ones.

October - afraid I can't help on the calf front. I have quite small calves but they definitely aren't tight on me.

I am so glad someone else is thinking the same way as me! H bought me the much lusted after (on my part) Jimmy Choo hunters for Xmas.. And I had to return then because they were too high up my and I couldn't bend my legs! ?

I have since discovered they do a midi-JC pair which I've instructed H he is to take me to try on at Bicester village this weekend!

I am really tempted to get hunters. All the cheaper wellies I get split and crack, even the Peter Storm ones that were £30. With what I have spent over the last 2 years alone would have more than paid for one pair of hunters.

I assume they last a long time?

I've had mine 7 years now and they are still going strong. I wear them all day 3-4 days a week and quite often at the weekend when I'm doing my own garden.

I wouldn't worry too much about inferior quality - some of the price difference will be down to VAT - kids shoes are VAT free, adults you pay an extra 20% to the government and the rest is likely to be the marketing side of it, probably not as much demand for expensive kids wellies cos they grow out of them so flipping quick.

I bought kiddies Hunters from John Lewis a few months ago. I think the quality is just the same,slightly tighter in the calf department but alright on me. As i am pretty small they are bigger than calf length on me.

Bought them in red and silver....it never quite worked out with the money saving as i ended up wanting two pairs..greedy cow that i am.
