First of all I’d like to say they are true to size and really comfortable to wear from the off. I walk my dog about two and a half hours a day and no rubbing at all . Unfortunately these are my third pair of Barbour short wellies since November last year. First pair were returned after 2 weeks as they let in water , second pair also let in water and split across the toe and the back seam after 4 months of wear. Both were replaced effortlessly by next so brilliant customer service from them. So I’m keeping everything crossed that these will last a little longer. I have wore them the past week and so far so good.
