I've got a pair of Le Chameau leather lined wellies I bought when I was shooting around 30 years ago. Apart from the zips that got seized up when I moved coastal and started shooting wildfowl and sea fishing and didn't apart from hosing down didn't think anymore than than that about the zips they are still comfy, warm, and waterproof.
Hunters are another excellent brand you won't go wrong with but will last less.
Get a decent pair of wellies and if you fishing, shooting etc they will with some care last a lifetime.

more substantial than the good old Dunlop's
Emphasis on the good. Take some beating for the money imho. My only criticism is that the soles could be a little firmer to help on rough ground. I have Dunlops for warmer weather and Baffins for cold.
Suppose it's how much you want to pay, there are loads of options if you want somebody to take you money off you
Best wellies I used to get were from dad, he worked at the pit, NCB, national coal board, AKA no ****s bothered. They were bullet proof, proper thick and armoured with thick rubber around the ankles and shins. Try Arco etc?
Edit - forget Arco, Dunlops or steel toe caps

Lol when I worked at pit had coal board wellies and waders. Bomb proof but had steel toe caps and were heavy. Bit of water in heading wellies needed deep waders. I actually use cheap wilko ones now and have no intention of swopping had neoprene too tight to put on. Bloody red hot and takes a age to dry. Wilko wellies and ocean waders..

Wonder where all those wellies are now, got to be still alive in somebody's garage or a dump site
