Musto boots

Which out of the four sets of boots on this page do people have:

I'm interested in people's opinions, good bad and indifferent. I'm currently after a new pair as my current Quayside ones are leaking and the insides are falling apart, and I don't fancy having cold feet this winter! In terms of looks, the brown all leather ones are my favorite

I think that the Dubarrys look the best.

Ive got the old/original hpx boots. Very happy with them, very comfortable and pretty warm. Soles are very good. I preferred the mustos to the other makes but that's a personal fit thing I guess; most of my friends go for the Dubarry!

Well whatever you do , dont get the same ones as Vicky, they leaked on the first day of use ! - I like the look of the Henri LLoyd boots actually, but Dubarry seem to be the option for everyone nowdays, although they are f*cking expensive!

I have just bought a pair of the HPX boots from the Cowes shop. £189.00. They are, undoubtably, good boots. I think the pull-on tab should be beefed up.

So far, I can confirm that ones feet *do not* sweat in them. The soles are good. The leather appears good quality. And Musto have an efficient, albeit rather expensive when compared to buying new, repair service.

I wear the Dubarry's every day for work, I got them at an agricultural show and have a heavier "tread pattern" than the boaty ones, but are very comfortable indded and dry as a bone.

Do you wear them with the matching suede shorts Cookee?

I used to have some dubarry boots for shooting, found them completley different to the marine ones ( although have only tried on the marine ones) but as good as they were, still couldn't touch Hunters!

think Durbarry really started the market for waterproof, breathable leather boots and henri lloyd and musto copied them. The old rubber type were really sweety but very durable. I believe Durbarry still offer lifetime replacement if they break, which is probably worth a few extra quid the boots cost. I believe they also offer different ankle sizes which can make a big difference to fit. I currently have the new henry lloyd boots, only because they were given to me, not been cold enough yet to wear. ps never buy gill rubber boots, I've had several pairs and they split within a week or so.
