Sophie, nooooo!! The riding Muckboots are the ones that will have you on your backside more than your feet! I've just looked at the Muckboots website, and I can't believe how many there are now. These ones (in the sale) look pretty similar to what I've been wearing for the last couple of years. www.buymuckbootsonline.co.uk/shop/4579019394/muck-boot-derwent-moss/6562668Oh, sorry, edited because I've just realised that unless you are a yeti you're not likely to get your size in this one, but at least it might help identify the type that will help you stay upright.

I used to wear joules ones but they didn't last at all. Now I have neoprene lined Sealanders and I cannot complain at all. They hug your legs and have an adjust strap too at the top. They were around £100 but I wouldn't swap them at all now. So warm! X

The Muck Boot Tyne's sole isn't terribly aggressive. I think they are meant for riding too, so you have a good heel (helps against slips downhill), but the tread on the sole is otherwise pretty flat (not that much grip uphill). I'm a Muck Boot fan myself, but I'm actually mostly wearing the "Ribble" boots, which only come up halfway up the calves. The ribble sole doesn't have great grip, but everything else is just so comfy that I still stick with them. My pet peeve is that the neoprene at the heels wears through relatively quickly (due to heel moving up and down slightly when walking). Do you get the same with other neoprene lined boots? Or is that maybe a short-boot problem (since your heels don't move much in long boots that are tight around the calves)?

Particularly interesting thread for me as I have terrible trouble with my feet. Long story, but have already had an operation for bunions (years ago) and now have a permanently dislocated toe which makes it very, very difficult to get anything to fit. Re. your Sealanders, girlmechanik, do your know which model they are? There seems to be so many! thanks.

Re. your Sealanders, girlmechanik, do your know which model they are? There seems to be so many! thanks. I believe they are the estate model. I honestly can't fault them and you can ride in them, although the sole is quite thick. X
