I have never been able to wear wellies due to my huge calf on my right leg (I broke my leg and lost muscle on the left so that just about fits in a standard wide welly but not the right!). No one else does a boot that is anywhere near wide enough.
These boots are nice and soft as well so no digging in. Definitely stick to your normal shoe size and don't think you need to go up if you have wide feet as these are really roomy in the foot. The welly socks fit a huge calf as well, I wasn't sure if they would but ordered some anyway and I love them.
The only minor drawbacks to these boots that I've found are:
1. I'd like them to be taller as they finish at the widest part of my calf so I feel they draw attention to that, although I very much doubt anyone even notices! This will be different for everyone though depending on your leg length.
2. The adjustment on the inside of the leg comes open very easily. This can be solved by folding the welly socks down over it but I prefer my socks to cover the rest of my lower leg so a bit of a difficult one for me. They just need a more secure catch on them so you don't undo it as you walk.
Aside from the small negatives (and they are minor), these are amazing boots and I'm absolutely overjoyed to have found wellies that I can get on and off easily, and that are actually comfortable when they are on! Such good quality as well, these boots might seem expensive to some but if you compare them to a wel known brand of wellies with their extortionate price tag, they're far and above the quality of them (seen many people's 'good' brand fall apart after a week on the yard with the horses). These feel like they'll last a long time.
I would definitely recommend getting a pair and trying them. They've got a great returns policy so if they're not right for you, you can send them back.
To all those who discover these boots after never being able to get wellies on before, enjoy and embrace those muddy walks!
5* because they actually fit and are such good quality for a very fair price. The drawbacks I've mentioned will not be even slightly relevant to most people.
