Wellies!

Hi all, I've had a pair of willies for around 25 years. They have been worn, not quite day in and day out, but not far off it and have finally started to fall apart. There is no marking on them to show the make so I was wondering which willies you would recommend (or not). The only down side to my existing ones is they are not very warm. Any suggestions for good winter willies?
Thanks!

Did you mean willies or wellies, it made me smile
The perils of 'auto-correct'
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
When we were farming I always bought Noras. Quite expensive but completely smooth inside so they could be washed out. Those that wear them every day will know how good that is.
I wouldn't buy Hard Core willies again, as mine split after not much use.
.....
(In all seriousness my HC wellies really did split and now let in water, which makes my feet freeze, so I need a decent new pair for next year too!)
Ha Ha Nice one Edd going to use that one cracked me up that.
I personally use work safety boots, as they are quite comfortable waterproof and have a steel toe cap also padded ankle protection which helps while I use a spade or garden folk just gives me that added protection.
EDD!
Go sit on the naughty step!
Much as I do like a firm willie, I would suggest a bit of filth, in the form of muckboots!
My muckboots seem to be OK, I am cursed with large calves (even when I was a skinny teen) and I like the fact that they are neoprene so they fit comfortably.
Hunters used to be made in the UK but these days are made overseas and sadly are of much poorer quality and don't last nearly as long.
