As all real sailors know, if you can't afford Dubarry boots, you should sell
your boat since you obviously don't have enough money to be a proper yotti.

But seriously, they are VERY good boots.

Dry & toasty? I went the opposite way with 'Crocs'.

Two weeks ago I was out wading in the salt water up to my crotch while
retrieving my sailboat. Didn't matter because the water ran right out
and eventually dried up.

Dubarries, even if you have to take out a mortgage!

I'm sure that they are fantastic sea boots and doubtless will make your
feet very happy and may improve your social standing (as it were). I
don't know, but I've been told that "Really, Really Real Yotties" (TM)
recognize each other because they wear ten year old West Marine Third
Reef foulies and sea boots purchased at the local fishing shop for less
than thirty bucks. Seriously, a set of fisherman's sea boots and some
nice socks will get the job done but a set of top end boots will be
much comfortable, less smelly and much more stylish. So, I wouldn't
put fancy boots at the top of my priority list, but if you've got some
spare cash or would like folks to think you do then go for the
Dubarrys.

It only costs a little more to sail first class.....
Watch the video...very nice, indeed. Your feet will stay dry and toasty
with all those power winches doing the heavy lifting....power roller
furling, main, headsail, mizzen. Why strain yourself?...(c;

Can we build one for YOU?

Hey! Great link, thanks for that! Ordered a couple pairs to try out -- one
pair for cold winter weather, and one for the boat.

But none of them were wearing Burbarrys! But you're right, what a way
to go!

Yup.. still wearing mine outside when walking the dog. Once the snow
flies...or when daytime temperatures are below 0C, I'll just use them as
indoor slippers.
