Used to wear anything until my ankles got ravaged by the evil ones... Since then wellies...

steel toed industrial wellys.

Hunters are ok but to soft and no protection from droping a super on your toes

 

[For want of a better word]

moccasins.... unless its raining

always tuck my socks over my trousers tho!!!

 

[Black Comb]

Suppose you only need one. Left or right?

i wear walking boots but thats because i nearly always wear walking boots whatever im doing but i put gators on and that protects the ankles and keeps them out of the trouser leg

 

[DanBee]

Wellies with steel toecaps for quick jobs, steel toecap leather boots and walking gaiters for a day in the apiary.

 

[Moggs]

Aren't stings on the ankles exquisitely itchy? DAMHIK

 

[Black Comb]

Yes and tend to swell.

Its ok I wear them in work as well so good value for money

 

[Browntea]

Muck Boots! Very comfy and light!

Industrial steely wellies. Only about £12 from a shop about 6 miles from me (In fact, they were cheaper than the pairs of wellies being sold in the other local shops (including Aldi & Lidl) at the same time)

 

[Nellie]

Boots. As long as they at least cover the ankles I don't mind what make. Currently using some leather "jungle boots" I've had kicking around for ages.

I'm using an old pair of Motorcycle Boots. Fits me well, waterproof and definately beeproof

 

[DulwichGnome]

Has any one tried these?

I was going to buy a few pairs for the school bee club and see how they work out.

Now they look the bizz.
I use bog standard wellies but cut they down to suit .

Ok I'm a short ar*e and wish to avoid chaffed bum cheeks.
Real reason , I find most wellies are too narrow to contain my calves and baggy bee suit !!

I have a brilliant pair of hunter wellies. Very comfortable but you need to have long legs or else they rub the back of your knees, also they are quite heavy aswell to walk in.

Did have a pair of barbour wellies bought for me as a pressie and they were rubbish.

 

[TJSnapper]

Dubarry Shamrock sailing boots when they are not on the boat as they are breathable, if not then steel toe-cap work boots, but they are way too hot, otherwise shoes and gaiters although my other half always laughs at me when I wear them.. last time she said Hercule Poirot sprang to mind

Lady Hunters are shorter and wider and so-o-o-o comfortable, especially with a pair of Bama sockettes on. And they last for ever. Sorry, you can keep your Doobrees.
