Having finally bought a new pair of wellies due to no grip and holes appearing. I decided to compare the two pairs. Both Dunlop actiforts. The top pair has been caved in for about a year

The top pair are perfect for caving, the lower pair perfect for getting to the cave.

Will you drill some small water-exit holes on the inside instep, or leave them as they came?

Leave them as is for now. I don't mind tipping the water out occasionally

I tend to have three different sets of wellies (Actiforts) on the go... a really good newish pair with plenty of tread for caving in South Wales (or Ease Gill) where there is lots of slippery boulder hopping, a moderate mid-life pair for northern potholing, and a knackered pair for digging. All my wellies therefore enjoy three different 'lives' before being consigned to the bin.
You must be doing plenty of caving, Babyhagrid, to wear them fully down in a year... good stuff

I have some Dunlop wellies, during the Cwmorthin mine trip I felt like they may fall off on the zip lines. Any recommendations of good wellies that won't feel like they may fall off.

Nice. I asked for that. 🤣
I have a foot condition so if too small it causes significant discomfort. Didn't want to go into that.

Mmmmm. That's a thought. That wouldn't change the width. Cheers

I have insoles cut out of an old camping mat. Makes a surprising difference to the comfort level.
