Yard boots?

[*Maddy&Occhi*]

Hi all,

I'm after a new pair of yard boots, but am un-sure to which are the best on the market at the moment. I previously had a pair of Dubarrys, but never again! They most certainly aren't "winter" boots.

Any recommendations?

Ariat grasmere. There is no other winter boot that compares in my opinion. I have had mine two winters, I ride, turn out, muck out in them. I haven't particularly looked after mine, they got a hose off every day on leaving the yard, and still look great and are completely waterproof. I don't wear them for the few summer months we have as my feet just get too hot, but they are brilliant in winter and well worth the £££.

I can't look past my Dubarrys. Have done me 2 years and were never looked after. Would have went on if I'd bothered. Replacing them this month.


Have heard good things about Grassmeres also too.

Another vote here for the Ariat Grasmeres, they are so warm and comfortable in the winter. Definitely recommend them.

A few friends have had the same issues as me now (toe splitting at just under a year old). We were then told that Dubarrys have unfortunately followed a similiar path as the Hunter wellies- quality previously being fantastic, but they're now being made cheaply resulting in them being rubbish! Which is a great shame!

Interesting about the grasmeres as I have 2 pairs of Ariat riding boots and am absolutely in love with them! So will definitley have a look at these ones

Thank you for your replies!

Ditto, mine have just given up after 4yers, 2 of the harshest winters I've lived through & absolutely no TLC.(woops!) and I'm on the hunt for another pair before this winter kicks in.
