Have to agree with the purofort's, wear them every day on the farm here. I think thermal ones can be got too. Have a pair of bekina wellies which are very comfortable too but a small bit heavier.
Species list 2013.Conger, Launce, Pollock, Ballan Wrasse, Dogfish, 3b rockling, Bull Huss, Mackeral, Tub Gurnard.

Species list 2012. Mackeral, Pollock, Coalie, Bass, Dab, Weeverfish, Bull Huss, Poor Cod, Grey Gurnard, Ballan wrasse, Long spined sea scorpion, Conger, Pouting.

flex sole for sand and rigid sole for rocks. flex sole gives more comfort until you walk on sharp rocks.
