Dubarry boots on blokes...

[Tinkerbee]

The OH has decided he would like some Dubarry boots for Christmas, but can't decide whether they're just for women.

I've pointed out blokes wearing them but he wants reassurance from the great HHO.

Anyway, he likes these which look fairly "manly" to me, as the foot part/sole/calf is large.

He also likes these ones and they are cheaper

so, all good. However we couldn't track these down in store today to see how "manly" they were.

Any opinions? Can you see a bloke wearing those or are they too girly? Tried on the Galway and the Clare ones, to prove a point that they look too feminine.

But unsure on the Tipperarys.

Such a dillemma I know...

Any thoughts?

* He doesn't have massive calves so its not a fit issue, merely he doesn't look like a ponce. *rolls eyes*

I've seen men wearing them, they look fine. Stop being silly, OH!

Thank you

I mean, the blooming bloke at the trade stands is well... a bloke!

Yep - seen plenty of chaps wearing them and they look great!
