Long boots

Men's long boots: rubber, EVA, waders and winter, from sellers

Updated 20 October 2026

What do you need long boots for?

Rubber gumboots for the rainy season and the field, waders for fishing and winter boots with a liner are three different purchases. A mistake in type costs more than a mistake in colour: in rubber boots your feet freeze in the cold, and EVA boots are best not worn where there is anything sharp.

• Rubber (PVC): inexpensive, for wet work, fields and farms; heavier and colder;
• EVA: light, warm, do not freeze through, for winter and hunting; dislike sharp heat and sharp objects;
• Waders: for fishing, with a high shaft up to the waist or chest, rubber or neoprene;
• Leather and work boots: for working tasks, need care;
• Insulated: with a liner, with the temperature rating given by the maker.

Winter, shaft and size

For winter, look for boots with a removable liner: you can dry it, and that solves the problem of damp. Note the stated temperature, but treat it with caution: when you stand still, your feet are colder than when you walk. Choose a size with room for a warm sock or liner, but not too big, or your foot will slide and chafe.

The shaft height depends on the job: to the ankle for a yard, to the knee for a field or farm, above the knee for water. For fishing, waders with a sole for the particular surface are better than “universal” ones.

What to put in your request

• Type: rubber, EVA, waders, leather, winter;
• Material: PVC, EVA, rubber, neoprene, leather;
• Season and temperature: with a liner, down to −20 °C;
• Shaft height: ankle, knee, thigh or waist;
• Size: UK size or insole length;
• Brand: a named one, or any;
• Number of pairs: for a crew, the price per pair may be lower;
• Condition: new or second-hand;
• Delivery city and budget: up to HK$140 a pair, for example.

Example: “I need winter men's EVA boots down to −20 °C with a removable liner, knee-high shaft, UK size 10. New, delivery to Tsuen Wan by courier, budget up to HK$140 a pair.”

How to compare offers

Compare models of a similar type and temperature rating. Ask about the sole material and the liner: whether it is removable and sold separately. For a batch for a crew, check that the sizes you need are available together and whether wrong ones can be exchanged. Ask for a real photo of the boots, not a catalogue picture.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe what you need once, and sellers send their terms in the chat. They can see where their offer stands and compete on price and delivery. The best-value offer is shown first, with reviews next to it. Your phone stays hidden until you choose a seller. Read about the service on the “How it works” page.

Common mistakes

People take rubber boots for winter and get cold feet. They do not allow for the liner when choosing a size. They do not check whether the boots can be washed and dried.

Also look at boots for dry weather and sandals and slides for summer.
