Altberg make good boots, and they can even tailor them to you if you are prepared to go to the factory

Bit of a trek from the principality to gods own country.

I have had 2 pairs for the army, felt like wearing carpet slippers

Meindl boots are excellent. I've had a pair for about 17 yrs, had them resoled about 6 years ago. I use them for winter mountaineering, hillwalking, deer stalking etc. They are still 100% waterproof and amazingly comfortable. They are a good wide fit which is essential given that my feet are the ridiculously broad flotation variety.

A sub £20 pair of wellies does everything on your list

Just googled the altberg factory.... hell of a trek! At the moment i use a pair of muckboot wellies which i really like but are a problem when driving, although they are soft and flexible they restrict my feet and i cant rev the landrover without great effort, which is great for saving fuel but not very practical lol and wellies have no breathability resulting in really sweaty feet after a long day in them.

Haix Montana are very good boots, warm, comfortable, goretex and tall

Altbergs are great. Can be a bit tricky to find soles for repairing unless you use the factory, which is expensive. But they will make you boots to fit (for a price) and they're super-comfy.

I wear my Meindl Woodwalkers every day - don't really notice they're chainsaw boots any more.
