ladies wellingtons for work?

can you recommend some ladies wellingtons for work?

my friend is getting blisters.

They're for working in a brewery, concrete surfaces often wet, mezzanine floors - so non slip the main thing.

    She should ask the brewery about wellingtons, if she works there they should probably be provided as part of their uniform and as a health & safety requirement.

    If she is getting blisters on her feet then she should be wearing cotton lining socks and then putting on a thicker pair over the top - thicker socks next to the skin will move about and cause friction thus leading to blisters. A cotton lining sock (you buy them at hiking shops) fits closely to the skin and doesnt move whereas the thicker sock will move.

    Or put gel insoles inside the wellies - they are really comfy!
