Waterproof/ resistant shoe boots for KY 3 Day?

[BAC]

I wore waterproof leather Ariat paddock boots to my first KY and they were fine but I really like a taller boot when I’m walking a cross country course.

That’s what they use them for at the Hampton Classic as well. But I bought mine in 2005 and still wearing them, they are starting to look a little shabby but clean up well. I wore them around the barn, even hacked in them and now that I don’t ride I wear them to the office in snow and rain and get lots of compliments on them. But what I love most about them is the Gore-tex lining which keeps my feet so cool in hot, humid summer weather, unlike many rubber boots.

Agreed!! They not only look good, they are actually really functional! I would never pack for LRK3DE without them, and I wear them plenty throughout the year.

I’m a year into owning my first pair of Muck Brand boots. And now I own 3 pairs. I love them all. I have the tall boots with insulation for winter, shorter height ones for daily use, and regular shoe looking slip ons that are fully waterproof for going out in the yard with the dogs.

I HIGHLY recommend these.

You can buy them at TSC and you can find more variety on their site and can have them shipped to your local store.

Kind of a bummer as the Dublin boots were the most comfortable but definitely too expensive to buy a new pair every couple months.

Ugh pooo… I need new waterproof chore boots, and I was waffling between the Dublins or a more “western” looking pair that also broke down after a year (with zero care tho, no oiling or anything and they got soaked a lot). No more waffling I guess…

Interestingly, I bought a pair of steel toed Redwing shoes! I have a phobia about my feet being stepped on, mostly because they have been and my toes have been crunched a couple of times. So these are perfect and surprisingly comfortable. A little bit heavy but let’s face it, I could use the exercise!!

Well, based on the setup at LRK3DE, they apparently are for standing in a bucket of water serving sparkling wine

Every year hubby and I go to the booth to ‘marvel’ at how waterproof they are just for the sparkling wine and whiskey they pour in the back of the booth.

ETA and answer the OPs question: I have a pair of Bogs, mid height, that my hubby found at one of those shoe discount stores. They’re pretty comfy - we walked most of the course and all of the trade fair - and definitely waterproof.

I know LRK3D is over but I love my Le Chameau wellies. Not super cheap but have lasted years longer than Hunters and are more flexible and fitted. I put sheepskin footbeds in for extra cush and they’re waterproof for sure!

I need to look these up!
