Sorry, not CR in the slightest, but I value the opinions in this room!.

Facing the summer off games due to a gimpy arm I'm going to put all those saved entry fees to good use and treat myself to a pair of Dubarry's.

I had always intended to get the Galway boots, but the Clares are suddenly looking more and more apealing?

Any review or recommendations on either you stylish clever CR people?
 
I LOVE my Galways, haven't had them long and they're my first pair and they have hardly been off my feet, I wear them for anything and everything, even with my shorts(cos they look super cool :p ) No experience of the Clares though, either way I'm sure they'll be fab
 
got a pair of dubarry galway size uk 6 eu 39.5 in brown mahogany still in box with dudarry tissue paper. brand new, open to offers, warwickshire. otherwise will advertise in local tack shop, currently retailing over £250. pm if interested.

Love my Ariat Conistans which I bought instead of Dubarry as the Dubarry boots have no ankle support and come much higher up the calf.

In my humble opinion, the Ariats are much better.

I have the clares, they are brilliant. As only-me said the clares are designed to be ridden in as well, whereas the galways are not. Are you male of female? The clares may look a it girly if you are a man, but I have seen plenty of men in the galways!!!!!!
 
I have the clare ones and have worn them everyday for nearly 2 years and have not looked after them one bit. I would like the galaway ones because my clares look a bit rough but would clean up. They are excellent and are waterproof, tested them in the water jump in Bramham!
 
thanks guys! i'm a girl charlimouse. thanks of courseyoucan, but they would be a little big i think. I already have some ariat grasmere, it's pull on ones i am after now.

now i'm looking at those new ariat ones. they seem a good bargain.
 
I tried the new Ariats, wasn't so keen although normal ariat comfort. I went for a new pair galways. I do sometimes ride in them but the inside seam gets rubbed and rubs the saddle flap
 
Another person with Clares (big birthday and xmas treat) and I love them. Clean up nicely too for best. Have given up riding in my proper long boots all together now I have my Clares.
Although are too hot in the weather we've got at the moment so back to short boots for now. (and NO Chaps I am a heathen ;) )
