Have fallen in love with these boots....so expensive though!

[Lotofdamnationandhellfire]

I've been looking for knee length boots with wide calves for everyday use and have found these. these

They are a little pricey at £325, but I'm kind of working on the principle I won't need to buy any others ever!

What do you think?

these do the same job for slightly less

HalloweeseG - They're nice but are sailing ones not quite what I was looking for.

Jesus wept.

That's 3 months worth of food shopping. 3 months.

Are they edible?

Tethers, yours are nearly 7 months worth of food. I like the 'purchasing instructions' but they're factually incorrect. I need not measure my calf nor click on a grid. I need to sell my pfb and/or a kidney. 695 quid? I'd want them made of unicorn hide and capable of granting wishes.

I really like these too

HalloweeseG - they are lovely, not sure they'd fit round my calves treetrunks though.

Think I may be inclined to get these half price of the original ones

They look nice HalloweeseG but think not clumpy/outdoorsy enough 4 OP. I live in the country too & Dubarry boots are the beesknees, am quite when I see people wearing them. The toggi ones look good & much more reasonable, wonder if they're as hardwearing?

They do look good Lotofdamn

Are you The Queen or Princess Anne? if so, and you are out and about walking miles every day.. then possibly a good investment. But if not, crazy money for a pair of sensible boots.

Go for the ones you like, you'll only regret it if you don't.

They're gorgeous and an investment! I've recently invested in a pair of Dubarry Galway boots (I've coveted a pair for years and always notice a pair on someone else which made me

HalloweeseG- Really helpful thank you. She went for the Tuffa Suffolk.

I've just put a pair on my birthday list, just to be safe.

Will cross my fingers for you HalloweeseG

I've just bought the tuffa suffolk, thanks for suggesting those lucy101.

I found the Toggi boots very small on the calf, went for dublin river boots which are so comfy.

They are lovely!

The boots I ordered (Tuffa Suffolk) were delivered and too small, they sent the wrong size, the twonks. I've sent them back parcelforce and hopefully they'll send the ones I ordered asap!!! However, they did look lovely even if too small!

Oops, thats prob with buying online. I am very tempted by this thread to get some similar boots for christmas, but would prob prefer to go to shop & try on (my feet are quite awkward, am not standard size, depends on make).
I don't have a horse though or go riding, will i look silly?? Have been looking at boots online from all types of shops & nothing looks as sturdy or waterproof.

I like the Toggi ones much better than your original choice, OP, sorry!

Tethers - your site is depressingly gorgeously expensive...

Those fuck it ones are very Legolas. Love them!

merrell oslo waterproof, leather £130, lovely. There are some other nice Merrell boots on that site too, with lace up fronts.

i like the tuffas, but just bought a pair of leather flat lace front boots from takky max for £49 (half price), really soft leather well made and great looking
only one pair of them though

Have a look for the same pair on ebay!

The original boots you linked to are vile. IMO.

£300 odd for a pair of vile boots is madness.

Why not just get a pair of Hunter wellies?

Oh and please don't wear them with a skirt .
