I need some new boots.
I am really fed up of my wellies continually breaking after not many months and i really like the look of these. I am doing a horse course at uni so like how they look cool and are practical plus you can ride in them.

So are they worth the expense?
 
Don't buy the Dublin's. I got through 3 pairs of these fairly quickly due to them leaking and the lining splitting. If you have a look at other reviews of them on here a lot of people say the same.
 
i had the dublin boots, they lasted me 2 years, i loved them, i got the toggi canyon and did not like them, they just didn't feel comfy. my wonderful hubby as just got me a pair of dubarry's. love him and love the boots.
 
had my river boots for about 2 years now, still keep my feet dry but linings have ripped a bit :(

I also have the just togs huntsville boots and absolutley love them, would reccomend :)
 
I've lived in my Canyons for a year and they're still waterproof!!

A friend bought some River boots at Hickstead, wore them at a PC Camp the next week and they leaked!!!!
 
ooohh yes I'd like some boots like this to:D How waterproof are they meant to be cos they don't look like they'd be that waterproof. Can you go in a puddle with them for example? I can't afford dubarry's either.....can hardly afford the 'cheap' alternative:(
 
Just wondering does anyone ever re-waterproof their boots? I have a pair of dublins, I jet wash them everytime I wear them cuz I get them filthy! Haven't had them very long but the first thing I did when I bought them was buy some dubbin for them!! Literally a couple of quid for a 500g pot.

Have done boots with it every week for the last 6 months and water just slides off, doesn't soak in at all!

We reproof rugs so why not our boots? I certainly give mine some stick and they've done fine so far!!
 
Canyon boots lasted 3 months - and that was them only being used to walk the dog and muck out!!!! Not impressed

Sent them back to Toggi and now been waiting 4 weeks for a resolution!!!!
 
I bought my Dublin River boots a year ago and they really need to be replaced. They are no longer waterproof at all and my socks get drenched walking through wet grass. I didn't find the lining to be durable or sturdy.

Someone recommended Ariat Grasmere(?). Are those more durable?
 
I killed my Dublin River Boots in 4 months. they weren't waterproof and the lining came out when i took them off.

I bought ariat grasmere instead - on their second winter and going strong.
 
I have Dublins, had them 10 months and although the lining in one of them is slightly ripped they are still very waterproof and keep my feet dry.

I need them to last me until around Feburary and then I think I'm going to take the plunge and get some Dubarry's :eek:

I have some reproofing stuff in my house ready for when mine need re-doing, I have had them two months and they still look look brand new as I clean them with suede boot cleaner every week. I made a point of showing my hubby I canlook after them better than my wellies as he has promised me Durbarrys next time round if I look after these!
