Waterproof Boots , Where ?

[MrsDoofenshmirtz]

Can anybody tell me where i can get comfortable flat warm boots that are also waterproof ? The Fly boots I had last year were lovely but my feet were wet and freezing all the time.

Clark's have some goretex lined ones, hang on:

Long

Short

I have also been wearing these DM boots in various colours for about 5 years and they are very warm and dry in wet weather. Not specifically waterproof, but good thick leather and well made.

I got Merrell Puffin Frost boots last year, they are very warm and shower proof/puddle proof. Not sure if they're totally waterproof if that's what you want as I didn't go through any streams in them. But I wore them every day walkign the dog in the fields and was fine.

I had Timberlands for three years until the zip broke last year.

Not the prettiest but not as ugly as Flys imo!

Do you have a costco nearby? I have a fab pair,which feel better than the triple-the-price North Face ones I bought earlier this year. They are about £35. Waterproof & warm to -20 (allegedly)

Oooh, I likey the Clarks long boots

Are the puffins true to size Beaver? I'd love a pair if we have another snowy winter.

Hobbitoes - I normally am between a 5 and a 6, depending on shop and style. In the Merrell boots the 6 fitted better than the 5.

Thanks, more room for wooly socks!

Ecco

Thank you !

WhatsWrongWithYou, which timberlands did you get - they look just what I am after, but I am wide of calf (about 37cm) and want something that will go over jeans, many thanks

I saw a very styish looking mum in the suffolk boot in a local pub recently. She was wearing them with a dress and they didn't look like real riding boots at all.

They don't sell mine any more, WT - they were pretty plain but with a strap and buckle across the front at the ankle - think they're sometimes called riding boots.

I never tried them with jeans tucked in - was pre-skinny jeans days for me, so can't answer for the calf width I'm afraid.

There was a link somewhere recently for another made-to-measure company besides from Duo. Will try to find it.

Here. No idea about waterproofness though.

Thanks for the link, have now fallen in love with some other timberlands....oops!

Ilse Jacobsen's wellies. They are so great I'm wearing them even when it doesn't rain - they have the softest cotton lining. Available in three different heights and a rainbow of colors. Love them!
