Dublin long boots (opinions!)

[tracyandtokyo]

Well yesterday i got stuck in my boot again! This happened to me in summer, the lining broke and it broke it fixed itself around my ankle/the back of the heel area! i was stuck fast and an hour of pulling and pushing later we had to cut the boot off! to be fair, they were over a year old.

I liked these boots so much, i bought the same ones again.
I wore them for a week, before swapping into my woof wear long muckers for winter. Last week, i switched back into my Dublin boots, and last night got stuck again! I wouldnt mind, but ive hardly wore these! Anybody had the same experience?

Me too.

Yep, same thing happened to me and they started leaking too. Not over chuffed to be honest. That said this is going back a couple of years so you'd like to think they have now sorted that issue - worth asking them? Or at least logging the feedback - they can't improve stuff if they're not made aware there is a problem.

Is the Dublin river boot?

I have had mine since December, and worn them all day every day since, so far only the insole has come loose

My daughter has the river boots & the linings ripped - the I had the ones with the laces up the side - think they the pinnacle ones & the same things happened after a few months - spent ages trying to get them off - I have sort of cut & glued linings out & together if you know what I mean - but I won't be buying any Dublin boots again - I really want some Ariats but keep looking @ the price - but everyone says they are worth it - so maybe 1 day soon xx

Ariats are soooo worth it, sorry OP!

I have so far returned 5 pairs of Dublin River Boots for exchange because they Leak the Linings have come loose or the soles are starting to part from the uppers they are so warm comfortable and CRAP why carnt Dublin sort out their boots. I am sure people would pay pay a little more for a stronger made boot with a full height branded water proof lining rather than a less than waterproof lining that is little more than trainer Sock.

Thank Goodness for my Dubarries but I have to say DRB`S are warmer when not letting in water.
