I could not find any online reference to marine footwear in the buy online section?

great if you have big or very small feet /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I would guess they do all sizes, 3 - 13, just that the list is not quantified correctly.

spotted thanx...........

So what do you do, go to the local shop, choose the right size, 'think about it', then buy on-line?

Family bought me a pair for my birthday from Mailspeed although they didn't have a great deal of stock. I went into the Warrington store but they only had the Dubarry Shamrock's in my size - which is what I ended up with. Paid £130 in the sale then found out that they're £100 at Marine Super Store Port Solent! I think Mailspeed offer a price match so I'll have to take them up on that one next time I'm in there! The different manufacturers seem to favour differently shaped feet and if you're going to spend that much I would strongly suggest you try them on to get the best size/fit. If I'd bought mail order I'm pretty sure I'd have bought the wrong size. Given how close you are to Port Solent you could do a lot worse than just pop in there and get the right size/make for your feet. Prices look to be amongst the cheapest.

all sorted, ended up getting the Dubarry from mailspeed, very good value for 100 quid!

nice boots.

I ask her my sister how much leather boots cost for horse rideing, she said they start at £180 to a £1000 !!

 

[bumblefish]

Let me know how the size goes, I have 'wide' feet and was wondering if they would be OK, have you allowed anything for extra socks?

 

[Aeolus]

Wide feet - I have the same problem. Henri LLoyd TP Ocean boots worked for me.

If you can, try them on first. I have a pair of Dubarrys and offered to buy my wife a pair. She tried them on in the shop and found them pretty uncomfortable. She was fine with the Mustos.
