Dubarry Confusion.

[tendon_boot]

Hey sorry another blinking dubarry question. I have bit the bullet and bought a pair. Now i tried a 8.5 on in the shop fitted perfectly on my legs but not in the foot, was tooo big. I ordered an 8 they arrived today, trid them on and there a bit snug on my legs, will they stretch a bit or should i get the bigger size and have enough room for a pair of welly socks?
Fresh cookies for getting this far x x x

I got mine in September and they were v snug to say the least but I can know get them on with a pair of jeans. So yes they do stretch!

yep they stretch, had mine a year & they were rather snug when i first got them, now they slouch down if anything!

How wide are they please?..Any good for wide calves?..

 

[tendon_boot]

wicked thank you was panicking as the mail order firm i purchased them from are pretty slow to say the least.
I have pretty chunky calves, i'll measure them for you honey pots. x

The Clares(?) fit my big calves, and not many boots do

I have the Galways. I have quiet chunky calves & struggle to fit into long boots but i havent had a problem with my dubarrys after wearing them in

I have Galways and they have stretched quite a bit, I need thick and preferably knee length socks. I should have used boot trees from the outset, which may have helped them stay in shape... love them though!

Also you can get the insoles for them which makes them drop half a foot size. I have the inflatable MH trees in mine, trying to be good to them!
