Went to a country sports day today and finally got to try on a pair of the much vaunted "Muck Boots" (sort of short neoprene wellies for those that haven't seen them). Very nice they are too - lighter, softer and far more comfortable than a normal wellington (and even than a Le Chameau / Hunter type although not as high on the leg).
Anyway, on to the point of the post. The same guy had some "Grub's Stalkers" in and said "why not try them too". The first thing I noticed were that they had a vibram sole and a more agressive tread than the Mucks. They were also a litlle lighter. I ended up with the Grub's since they fitted my foot a little better (that may of course not be true of others). I'm certainly sold on the concept of the Neoprene wet weather boot - I suspect the choice of brand will be an individual thing.
Heres a link to the Grub's if anyone is interested (I bought them elsewhere but its the same style)

I'll let you know how they fair as the weather turns
