My Mud dogs are great wellies. Most comfortable I’ve had. I had a pair of Hunters (after they were bought by the Chinese) and they lasted a year. Absolute rubbish. I then got a pair of Barbours which were heavier but have also cracked and let water in after a couple of years. The Mud Dogs are lighter in weight, so much more flexible to walk in and the padding on the insole makes them so comfortable to wear on long walks. I’ll have to see if they last the test of time, but they look stronger and very nice to wear so for £50 I think these are a fantastic buy, as look just as good but are much cheaper than the more fashionable brands.
