Sailing boots - stockists in yorkshire/cumbria?

[catlotion]

I'm after some decent sailing footwear now it's getting chilly.

Does anyone know of anywhere I can actually try boots on in either Yorkshire or Cumbria? There's plenty of web stockists but can't find any real shops with a decent selection!

can't decide whether to go for flash ones or cheap 'wellie boot' type. does anyone have any recommendations?

cheers,

Toby

At the risk of being flamed, I would not consider anything other than my Dubarry Ultima.

Yes, £200.00 but worth every penny.

I did try various forms of Rigger Boots but gave up after several deck ice skating episodes.

May be worth ringing Kildale in Hull. They usually have a reasonable selection of gear.

Kildale are really good and have a good stock. Open every day except Tuesdays. Park in side street alongside shop or get a temp permit from shop if using marina parking area - the warden is eagle eyed and quick.
