I still don't see why riggers are a no-no but wellys are ok. They don't offer ankle support either. I wear wellys as my main sort of footwear except in the summer (or even in the summer if it's one of those crappy, rainy ones), and have done for over 15 years without a sprained/strained ankle. HSE regs are written by people who don't work on site.
