KTY Country Boots

[holeymoley]

Are these any good? I need a new pair of country boots for the Winter, I suffer from Reynauds in my feet so I need something that will at least keep my feet dry. I currently have Dublin Country Boots for the Winter on the yard which have been great but they are now leaking at the crease. The best I've had are Dubarrys but I just can't warrant the price of them for tredging about stables and fields everyday!

Ive had these in the past and they lasted well ?

I found they leaked at the crease within weeks. Sorry.

I have found Dublins last months.

But it’s pretty naff. Trying to work out what to do this winter, whilst getting soggy feet in the morning dew in a pair of Dublin river boots that have barely had 6m wear, if that.

I've been so impressed by my Cabbotswood deck shoes I'm going to get a pair of their country boots for this winter when my current pair dies.

I've looked at these, I buy riding tights from there which i love but never tried the boots. I wouldn't be looking for 100% waterproof, I've got some Noble Muds for that..

How does the sizing come up? I'm 6/39 in Ariat but 6.5/40 in some other brands.

I've always found all the country boot types too baggy on the calf as I want to ride in them as well. Nothing worse for cold feet than having to change into cold boots to ride. A few years ago I decided just to wear my old insulated Bromonts for everything as I thought they didn't have long left anyway. They have now done 3 winters of all yard work and muddy fields and I think they'll do at least one more. Incredible boots. When they eventually die I will look for another second hand pair to do the same again.

Oh dear. Not sure what to do now. I thought about trying to get a good second hand pair of Dubarrys or Ariats. Maybe better just spending the money in the long run. I wore my old Dubarrys until they were worn out, I still have a pair but I like to keep them for 'good'! ie walking round shows etc.

My KTYs are coming up to their second winter. Warm, still waterproof (wouldn't expect to go wading in them) and very comfortable.
