I buy the goldilocks wellies

To small and the are a pain to get off

To large and they fall off your feet

just right = happy detecting

After trying a few ended up with the sportsdirect ones. Each brand the size is slightly different.

Muck boots very good, Le Chameau neoprene lined better. More expensive, but are more comfortable and last much longer. I have an oyster farm so spend all year round up to my knees or waist in the River Dart and would not wear anything else

Le Chemeau not cheap but bought mine in 2000 and they are still going strong. Neoprene lined, very warm and great to walk in to..
