Help me find some waterproof knee high boots?

I'm tearing my hair out trying to replace some old ecco boots that had literally fallen apart. I'm outside a lot for work and need a pair of boots that can walk me across a field but not look too awful in the pub/our casual office. The pair I had were knee high, brown brushed leather and gore-tex lined so really warm and waterproof, and I could wear with chunky tights and a skirt. Clark's has one uninspiring option but they're a little tight on my calves. Colour doesn't matter and open to different materials just need to be fairly weatherproof without looking too awful! Help!!!

Something like this:

I put lambswool insoles in boots too, for added warmth. They are cheap on Amazon. I put them in my slippers too.

I have these from Austrian brand Hogl and they're waterproof and very comfy. They were cheaper when I bought them though!

I have knee high lace up timberland which are waterproof- mine are 2 years old but expect they still have similar, handy as you can adjust how tight they are!

I have these DMs for work and they really are the most waterprrof boots I have ever owned.

Timberland does waterproof boots.

Ooh thanks all, love the dubarry ones just need to see if i can find out the calf measurement. Already had to send one pair back :-( hadn't thought about timberland, will have a look.

Also Ariat, Ryedale and Toggi do Dubarry style without the price tag.

Country Boots is the usual name for the slightly chunky ones like the Dubarry

Ooh thanks @randomsabreuse the dubarry are at very very top of price range even in the sale, but there are so many bad knock off its hard to know which of the alternatives to trust!!!

@kittyKate15 which clarks were you looking at? They have some give.

randomsabreuse · 04/01/2020 07:09

Ariat/Toggi are better than Rydale, but Rydale did the job (waterproof in grassy fields) for about 18 month before my heels shredded the lining. I am substantial of calf and they fit. Have promised myself some of the Toggi price band ones as an incentive for weight loss!
