Ireland, where the Dubarries are made, is in the EU, and uses EU sizing
on it's website. An EU 46 is the same as a UK 11 or a US12. Dubarry's
have a decent website and I am sure would respond to e-mails if you need
more help with sizing. It is always better with sailing boots to err on
the big side as you can wear all kinds of socks when sailing (depending
on the weather and your climate).

I don't know how the boots bought direct from Dubarry would compare
price-wise with those bought from Ozi chandlers, but I am sure you would
get some help if you made contact with them. Do stress that you need
sailing boots, as their range is extensive and a great hit with the
horsey crowd here in UK.

For the record, I paid £165 cash for my Dubarry's.

A pdf file can be found at http://www.dubarry.com/DubarryMarine08.pdf and
gives much more info on their sailing boot range.

Dennis:- Their website is a bit screwed at present - however, I have
fired off an email as suggested looking for some guidance. Thanks

No doubt you are aware of this. You could ask to be an agent for WA. Free
