My last pair cracked on the top which was disappointing but I do walk 5/8 miles daily and they lasted three winters.
This pair doesn’t have a calf muscle extender which is a bit limiting for wearing welly socks.
Very comfortable and a great boot. I would highly recommend, especially for dog walkers.
This is my second pair of Aigle boots, the first pair lasted 7 years. Very comfortable even on long walks with our dog.
Previous pair lasted 6 years so certainly outlived other wellies I’d bought in the past. Very comfortable which is important to me as I’m prone to plantar fascitis in one foot. I can walk for miles with the dog in these. Fit is good on calf and foot.
I’ve been walking my dog for a good 11 years. After going through several pairs of other branded names thought I’d splash out on these and I haven’t been disappointed. Are the most comfortable wellies I’ve ever worn. Would definitely reconed. My old pair lasted a good eight years so ordered my self a new pair.
Good fit in the foot, a little tight on the calves.
Very comfy. This is only my second pair in 3 years and I wear them every day so I expect them to last as well as the previous pair.
These have transformed my sweetheart’s wet walks. His old Bogs boots were heavy, sloppy and with no grip. These, however, fit snugly (11/46), have great tread and are totally waterproof. I used to get annoyed at how slowly he walked with me but the lightweightness means he’s now gambolling ahead like a spring lamb.
So if you walk on grass a lot, have standard width feet and like soft light wellies, buy these, but knock a half size off your usual order size.
These are such comfy wellies as I have a pair so bought these for my husband. Unfortunately they are quite snug around the calf so have exchanged for the verso version so he can comfortably fit his jeans inside the calf!
So far I am really pleased with them. They have replaced my ‘3 month old’ Hunter Boots which I recently discovered are made in China. The rubber perishes after a few months rendering them useless. The Aigle boot seems to be a much higher quality. I have awkward feet and have put insoles in them. I would say they come up a bit larger as these are my normal size and even with insoles there is still room for some thick socks
Consequently, I found myself in the market for a new brand of Wellington Boots and, after reading positive reviews, I decided on these from Aigle. They are brilliant! I have had mine for about three years and now my other half also has a pair. These are genuinely top quality boots that are still made by hand by craftsmen.
Mine are predominantly used for dog walking, so they are worn for several miles a day, every day of the week. They are very comfortable and perform as well after three years’ use as they did when they were new. Even the soles still look they did when I first got them … no signs of wear from the miles of walking in them at all.
At this rate it will be a good while before I need to buy a new pair of Wellingtons. but when that day comes, I will be going straight for Aigle again.
This is best walking boots what i tried.
My feets is size 6 and wide in toes, and after reading reviews about how they fits too big i bought size 39 and they was too small!!!! Returned them and i bought size 40 what fits perfectly.
With extra insole and thick socks is comfy in cold weather, i walked for 6km in the 1 time and my feets feel good, no pain, no rubbing.
They boots is nice and soft,light, feets feel flexible and roomy. They have good grip and mud no stick to them. After a big walk they look clean.
If you want walking shoes in wellies this boots will be great choice!!!
Im not sure how long they will last but 2 years warranty helps and if you will buy silicone spray from home bargains for just 1 it will help protect the rubber.
I purchased these wellies 4 years ago. They were half the price that they are now (I paid 62 for mine) If I needed wellies again I would definitely pay the full price. I am a size 5.5 and bought a 5. They are a snug fit but I’d you want to wear thick thick socks I suggest going up half a size. They are VERY well made. Durable rubber. Comfortable. Have a good solid heel and tread. Warm. Well worth the money. You won’t be disappointed. If you need sturdy wellies for your job or do lots of dog walking…get these. Forget the name of hunters which are now mass produced in China and if their feedback is anything to go by, now a load of rubbish. Forget wanting looking ‘chic’ in joules wellies and all those other fancy names. Buy these….you definitely won’t regret it.
Been looking at these boots for a year as remember Good Housekeeping recommended them following a test. Needed to replace cheap Dunlop wellies used daily for dog walking over fields and through country lanes. There’s no denying the boots are supremely comfortable for long, daily walks. They also keep my feet much warmer. However they do come up very big! Not so much in the length from heel to toe but in the space around the foot. I’m a UK size 5 and based on other reviews ordered the size 5. However, as other reviewers have said with a second pair of thick welly socks they’re fine. My other point would be the colour, I ordered the green which looked almost black on the website, however in reality they are bottle green with a brown trim – wouldn’t have chosen this colour had I seen them in a shop – but then I wouldn’t have had the ease of having them delivered to my house either! Overall, I’m happy with these boots – wearing them daily in comfort, with warm feet and no blisters or aching back.
I’ve worn these about fifteen hours a day for six consecutive days in the Somme-like conditions of Glastonbury and didn’t have to think about them / my feet / soreness / blisters etc. at all. They served me brilliantly – I walked several miles a day through every different consistency of mud known to man and then felt fresh enough to dance till the early hours. The previous year my B&Q wellies nearly ruined my festival; my feet were in agony.
As well as festivals, my trusty Aigles have done me proud through hundreds of miles of forest/coast/trail walking and I’ve been totally dry, warm and comfortable the whole time. There’s really no need for walking boots in the winter when you’ve got these.
They’re expensive but I reckon they’re worth it and they’ll last years.
Other reviews said the sizing was generous and to order a smaller size, which I did, but they were way too tight. I then ordered half a size more than normal and they fit perfectly with thick socks. The exchange was no trouble.
Top Tip: Don’t bother buying the Aigle Swipol spray to maintain them. It’s literally just standard silicone spray in a different can for five times the price. You can buy silicon spray in any DIY or plumbing shop. It’s currently available in Screwfix for about two quid.
One other thing – I think people in Hunter wellies look like clueless city-dwellers with more money than sense, following the herd and paying through the nose for a brand name. Do yourself a favour and get Aigle instead – you’re paying for the craftsmanship not the label. Aigle and Le Chameau are classy!
EDIT [OCT 2021]. It’s now 3 years since I wrote this review and I stand by every word of it. These wellies are still in fantastic condition and still as comfy as ever. It’s actually been 4 years since I bought them and they’ve seen some pretty nasty conditions in that time and haven’t always been well cared for, but they’re showing no signs of giving up. Absolute quality!
EDIT [NOV 2022]. Still going strong! Every year these bad boys are averaging out at better value in terms of pennies per mile. Best. Wellies. Ever.

They do come up larger than your regular size – in fact a friend borrowed them for a walk and she is a size 6 – mine are a 4. This doesn’t bother me because of the design of the boot they don’t slip or rub and you can fit thick or welly socks in them however if you like your boots to be a snug fit I would suggest getting a size down.
After three years of constant use in mud, snow, ice and all weathers that the U.K. can throw at us they have never let me down but finally they have a small split down the back seam so I need to purchase a new pair.
Best boots ever, highly recommended!
I really like these wellies, they are comfortable on longer walks and thick enough to keep warm in winter. The only downside is calf tightness, they are very snug at the calf which is a good thin in winter and near deeper water, but makes them a little too insulating for use on warmer days.
I still prefer my trusty Hunters as allrounders, but these are a much higher quality boot.
Edit – 2 years on now and despite daily use for stables and dog walking these wellies are still going strong. They clean up like new, no weak spots or issues in use, really impressed with the quality in comparison to my ‘trusty’ Hunters that are falling to bits with less than half the use these have had.
Note photos are of Vario vs Muck Boots but the Vario Parcours are identical to the regular Parcours (the latter not having a side strap)
Before I ordered my Aigle wellies I spent ages looking at reviews of every make imaginable. I ordered my Aigle Parcours as they were highly recommended and seemed to fit the criteria I was looking for, namely….Hardwearing, comfortable boots for everyday use , a good fit to prevent my feet developing blisters, flexible rubber which allows feet and legs to flex and bend easily and …they looked good too. I had tried Hunter wellies before but found them very stiff and flimsy ( they split after a few months) . I walk miles every day with my dog and need reliable footwear as the places we get too can be incredibly muddy and boggy at times. I am very impressed so far as my Aigles are SOOO comfy ! The insoles are very spongy and I practically bounce along at times. I bought my normal size and can get a thick pair of socks on underneath. I hope my wellies last a long time because they are the best ones I have ever had.
This is the first time I have bought expensive wellies and it’s the first time my feet don’t hurt when wearing them! The fit and the cushioned sole are really marvellous. I wouldn’t go walking long distances even in these wellies but instead would use my hiking boots as they are much more supportive and hold your foot tighter. But for really wet weather and mud underfoot for modest distances these are going to be great. I like them.
The fit is ideal for me as I am a 10.5 and it is hard to get a half size in other brands. That’s why I chose this brand. The fit allows space for a thick pair of socks.
I have not tried any other brand of expensive wellies so I can’t give an authoritative review.
