Following on from the Dubarry post....

I have been lusting after Dubarry's for years now, but they are just too short for my legs! Boo!
Can anyone recommend anything similar that won't look as if I am wearing a pair of kids wellies???
Help, friends! I'm off to Olympia soon and am desperate to get something nice!

There are 2 lengths of Dubarry boots, calf length (kids welly sort) and knee high. I am 5'9" and the knee high are still knee high on me!

Christ, how tall are you?! I am tall and no they are not the longest boots in the world but they don't look THAT bad!

Cheers, YS - will try them again, just to check! However, my gaiters are something like 19 or 20" long! Wonder if Dubarry might do MTM!

Weezy - I am 5'11 - probably similar to you, but my lower legs seem freakishly long!!

Now you've got me worrying (I was orginial poster of other Dubarry post!) I'm 5'11 but I always thought they looked quite long? Don't think my lower legs are too long though!

I'm tall (5 11) and they still come up my legs...! x

These are mine - bearing in mind i've had mine for so long the leather has compacted around the ankles - they used to be even longer! (and yes, i have an excessively tall brother who is 3 years younger than me!)

Cheers Rounderbout! What a nice pic!
I must just have odd legs! When I spoke to the Dubarry guy he said that the only way to get a taller boot was to buy a bigger size????!! At this rate I'll end up having to flop about in a pair of size 12's!
