AIBU to splash out on boots?

[whyistherumgone]

With all the world madness I'm focusing on anything but the news - in this case BOOTS.
My tax return is looming (which I should have covered) and obviously it's Christmas....but I'm getting so sick of wet feet when I walk the dog and having to replace my boots (even pricey ones) every six months I'm considering splashing out on a pair of waterproof country boots.

I know the Dubarry style has become a bit of a fashion statement but they seem to be exactly what I need - if they last - I'm just a bit at how much I'm going to be spending.

You see what's going on here, I just want a load of replies saying 'They're fantastic BUY THEM!' etc.

I'm also looking at cheaper alternatives but the reviews don't seem as favourable... if you've got any and think they're great please let me know!

six tests later and it's definitely a positive - early days 1-2 weeks according to CB ...
heading to boot shop this afternoon and if the Country style don't suit I'm ordering the Uggs
Thanks everyone!

the country boots weren't quite the right fit and I didn't love the dubarrys enough when I tried them to splash the cash. I ordered the Uggs instead so thanks wai now I'm just excitedly waiting for them to arrive.

looking forward to having toasty warm dry feet!

I bought my Dubarrys three years ago and I think I have literally worn them every day since. They are pretty much indestructible and soooo warm in winter. Definitely do it. You won't regret it.

ah diana I loved them. But just didn't love them on me
Glad yours are working out well for you - they do seem like a real investment buy.

I have these ones, and they've put up with a fair amount of rubbish, but still clean up well (I wore them to a client's site one day with a skirt...):

I have the dubarrys and a pair of ariat grasmere. Tend to wear the dubarrys for knocking around in and only wear the ariats for riding as they come higher up the leg. Shame you didn't get on with them, I love mine.
