Waterproof work boots
In a similar theme to the "socks" thread, what do people recommend for a waterproof work boot.

By work boots, I mean with toe protection, sole protection and fully water proof.

I can find work boots and I can find waterproof boots but generally not both together. A lot of the work boots are only rated as water resistant and I get soggy feet after a day out in the muddy fields.

So let's see what you've got...and ideally I want them less than £50...😉

Cheers

Simon

Was going to suggest you look at the Bogs boots but none of them start at under £50.

I have some 'Stanley Rigger Boots' from Screwfix. I don't use them everyday but are comfortable, warm, waterproof and steel toe capped etc for safety. Think they were £39.99

Find the Dewalt rigger boots better than the Stanley ones personally.

Haix protector pro and Arbortec Profell Experts are what I've spent the last 12 yeas in - a lot more than your budget but you only get 1 pair of feet! I live in them, buy two pairs at a time, wear them on alternate days and get at least 2 years out of them (ie a year of full time 5-6 days a week per pair). I never treat them/clean them etc, but I make an effort to dry them after really wet days (the second pair makes this easy).

Another vote for DeWalt riggers, wear them all day long.

I use Haix boots as well. Over your budget but work very well.

Used to use Protector Pro when I was on the saw, now I use their Airpower range which are very comfy and waterproof. For really wet conditions I'll use a pair of wellies but much prefer the boots for ankle support and grip.

Usually get a couple of years out of a set.

+1 for Dewalt riggers. However I have been using these for the past 2 weeks, including clearing ditches and they are so far completely waterproof.
