Some you may have heard of, some might be new brands you’re not familiar with.

Here are the top recommendations… (in reverse order)

Muck Boots are fully lined with neoprene and have thermal foam in the sole to increase warmth and comfort. They seem to be a popular choice with a range of outdoor lovers and keen walkers!
