Dublin pinnacle Boots :)

[Rupert-the-bear]

Hi all,
Have been looking for some general riding/yard boots for a while now and really like the look of the dublin pinnacle boots. So, just wondering if anyone has any and do you like them, do they last etc? Also, would they be suitable for short wide legs?

sorry I wouldnt recommend them - wore mine for about 4 months - before the linings ripped - making them a right pain to get on & off @ times - have now managed to glue linings!!!!

Agree with this!! The lining went in mine after a few months, I managed to get them replaced and the same thing's happened again with the new pair so it takes me ages to get them off, loosening them up, squeezing my hand down to shove the lining down...I got cramp in my leg while trying to take them off earlier!!
Saying that, they are comfy and very warm, I've been putting up with wearing them recently as it's so cold and my toes go numb in my hunters!

I've not had these boots, but I did have the Dublin River Boots, and unfortunately I have to agree with the others, they're a waste of money. After several months the lining ripped on the inside, and the tread wore down really quickly too - last winter when it was snowy & icy I resorted in wearing my ugg boots (I'm not a chav - they were a present!) to the yard as they had more grip on them then my proper yard boots!

I'm now saving up for a pair of Ariat Grasmere boots (although they will have probably ceased trading by the time I can afford them! )

I've always liked dublin clothing, however I've been put off them now!

that's a shame, am starting to give up the will to live with finding some boots that will actually fit my big, short legs.....!

I got mine for a b'day pressie at the end of november, within 3 weeks they leaked and last week the lining went in one of them. They will be being sent back asap, but since they are my only pair of yard boots I need winter to be over!!

Recommend Tuffa boots - I think they call them the suffolk? Had a pair of these for a few years, toasty warm dry feet. I lost a load of weight since buying them and they sagged very badly which is why I wanted replacements! Gave them to someone just starting out and now I really want them back cause saggy boots are a whole lot better than leaking and stuck on boots!
