Thread: Help! Buller lace up gum boots

Desperately looking for the above in size 10. Didn't realise that they were being discontinued and now find myself bereft and facing the dreaded Ashley's as compensation. Old school bush hunter here so nothing else will do. Be grateful of any intelligence

cheers

Looked for them two years ago, out of production then...

HUNTING AND FISHING did a run on them some time back....will cut down ashleys be the same??? I love my racing ashleys,cant see how shorter bullers would be better.

Just cut down Ashley's to buller height,

Ashley's and Bullers have different shapes. Cutting an Ashley down won't be the same. I'm on my last pair of Bullers myself, not sure what I'll use instead.

boonies do a very similar thing

Skellerup Hikers are good and have a better sole than Bullers

Have a brand new pair in size 9...but I guess that'll be too tight. (wifey wore them around the house then exclaimed they were not comfortable!)
40 years wearing them says otherwise

Contact HnF there might be a a pair lurking somewhere in one of their stores. I tracked down previously some in Taupo, Wanganui and Dannevirke. They might do another run. Not sure why not unless they want to sell own branded gear.

Yeah thanks for your input guys, but to the Ashley and Buller comparison?.... there is none. Ashley's are a wider fit everywhere...more of a Fred Dag boot whereas Bullers are more Barry Crump

Cutting down Ashleys might get rid of that sharp fold where the upper tongue and boot join. It erodes into your skin. A thick sock takes care of it, sure, but many socks don't reach that high up or they creep down. A good reason to cut down my Ashleys.

Don't understand the attraction of either to be honest.

Wore them once, at most twice, decided they didn't suit me so have sat in the boot locker since.
