Title: Welly 'boots'?!
Post by: twentyclicks on October 11, 2012

Weird new boots from HiTec could be the ticket for our wet boggy clime in winter? Curious. I like the style and the colours...yellow pair would be ace  8)

They're so crazy I think I want a pair! ... They're also on sports direct for £67 as opposed to near £90 from hi-Tec

I have a pair of salomon snow boots that are something similar, no funky colours though, just boring old black  :(

Before I shell out for them... I have to ask: did your feet get sweaty in them?

oh yes i did, very toasty, but sweaty when walking any distance, however my son wore them a whole hot  summer (yes that was a few years ago) while doing manual labour at a garden centre and never complained  ???

mine look a bit like this
