Just to go against the trend....
Have a look at the Yacht Boot Company neoprene wellies. I have had a pair for a couple of seasons now and they are fantastic. Really warm, cracking grip and a decent height (unlike most of the uber expensive ones). Plus at about £65 save a lot of beer tokens. (Thick socks NEVER required).

Like many I went and bought Dubarry's.
Unlike others I have now concluded that other manufacturers now make better boots and have better customer relations.
After a couple of years the soles go very hard and are slippery as reported by another in this thread.
I wrote to Dubarry but have never received a reply.
In looking at other boots I asked the shop about various companies after sales service and he said that Dubarry were one of the worse.
Now bought a pair of Henry Lloyd boots but too soon to comment

You must come across we me one day - then you might change your mind.
On last week's crossing every single inch of clothing I was wearing got soaking wet, even under oilies and boots

I use a pair of neoprene dinghy boots, for the same reasons (except the decent height). Never had cold feet yet, and if I want to clear some space down below, I just take 'em off

I had to read the last word several times, I thought you meant prat which often seems appropriate.
Our local Chandler has some Dubarry's on sale for £115, i keep thinking about trying some on but then realise my Musto lace ups haven't let me down yet, so why bother.

SWIMBO has quayside breathable leather? for the last 5 years, my quayside boots failed after 2. Dubs replaced the quaysiders now 4 years old and still going strong. Try them on before you buy as they are not all the same fit. Wouldn't wear rubber boots ever again except when AF!
