Dublin river boots are warm and comfy. Not really suitable for the yard as they are not very waterproof. More of a fashion boot IMO. And the lining rips on inside of the heel. I like riding in mine.
I'm a Dubarry girl but got some dublin rivers for xmas for just around the yard as am fed up of my dubarrys getting trashed! I've only used them for a few days and i'm pleased with them,i have been through v deep wet fields and they are waterproof,the water beads off them,although not sure how long that would last for. I rode in them and they are v comfy,also dog walked in them and they havn't rubbed. The only thing is that they come up v big,i went for the size 5's but i have to wear vvv thick socks and welly warmers with them,other than that they seem value for money,my OH paid ã85 for them at olympia.
Got the Dublin boots. Love them but they did rub my heel to begin with and the lining near the heal is sort of tricky to get my feet around at times. Great to ride in and waterproof and best thing - non slip! I cleaned mine with effax on the nubuck part and they now look exactly like Dubarrys - or close enough!
Can anyone tell me how tall these are (top of heel to top of boot at the back) and what they measure round the widest part on the outside - many thanks
Yep, I spoke to Toggi directly about that and they have made the boots with a riding boot sole, they are riding boots with a country boot look, rather then a country boot.
The sole feels nice and strong and the boots themselves are very warm!
