Just fantastic. As comfy as slippers, as flexible and grippy as trainers, as warm and robust as a good pair of walking boots, as waterproof as, well, wellies.
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!

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.
