I don't have any waterproof ones, and I could do with them

My dad's had a pair for four years, put a couple of thousand miles on them and they're still good as new. They took about fourty miles wearing-in and I'm not sure I'll ever buy anything other than these again. Great boots.

hmmm
little outside my price range considering they won't get all that much use.

What I really need are some very comfortable wellies given the amount of walking in and near rivers I have to do

I refuse to believe there are such things as comfortable wellies.
Then again, mine are steel-toecap, which freeze your toes.

I need steel-toecaps as well for site business.

Yeah, mine are from my archaeology days.
I used to go on site with 2 pairs of thermal socks and newspaper stuffed down the boot. Still froze. I have shit circulation. I was sitting by the stove last night and my fingernails turned navy.

Yeah, I live in search of the perfect pair -
boots I can wear with jeans, skirts, dresses and can also wear for tramping around the muddy riverbanks of South Glos.

I'm getting these: www.justinbootstore.com/order/justin/jbl3000.htm

Edit: these look awesome but they're too pricey and they ain't black: www.ariat.com/products_detail.aspx?pcid=12&cid=28&scid=99&pid=572

They'd look great on Vipros.

Do they have bacon and hammers?

Yes, and they drink pints.
