Ten reasons to invest in Dubarry boots<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking to purchase or replace your current country footwear, you’ve probably come across Dubarry boots<\/a>. From the outside, some items seem so similar to less expensive counterparts that it makes many of us wonder why we should pay more. But as the old adage goes – you get what you pay for! Sometimes a little investment goes a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what makes Dubarry boots so special? And are they worth they money? Here are 10 reasons to invest in Dubarry<\/a>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. A Long History of Shoe Making<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dubarry has been manufacturing footwear since 1937, showcasing the skills of local craftspeople and being inspired by the landscape of Ireland. Their collection of boots and shoes was designed for use around water, leading to durable and practical qualities which have remained at the forefront of production. The rich history of this brand means they definitely know what they\u2019re doing when it comes to footwear. When you buy a pair of Dubarry boots, you can be sure that you\u2019re getting the very best. You can find out more in our blog celebrating Dubarry heritage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. GORE-TEX Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

GORE-TEX is a four layer waterproof and breathable system. The first layer (closest to the inside of your boot) wicks away internal moisture from your feet to ensure they are warm and dry. The second layer traps air to retain heat, while the third and most important layer is the waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX membrane. This membrane is unique as perspiration can penetrate it to wick moisture away from the inside of the boot, but water cannot penetrate the membrane, meaning you are always kept dry. The final layer is a protective textile which prevents any damage to the lower layers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When paired with a simple pair of woollen socks, this membrane will guarantee warm, dry feet even on exceptionally cold, wet days. GORE-TEX features in most Dubarry boots, with the iconic Dubarry Galway boots<\/a> as a leading example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. High Quality Leathers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crafted from full grain leather, Dubarry boots have a rugged texture for added durability. This type of leather results in a rustic appearance which is perfect for country boots. You can read more about the different types of leather in our Leather Buying and Care Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Injection Moulded Soles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An injection moulded sole is a sole unit that uses no glue to connect the layers together. Instead, it is pressed as one piece to ensure a robust tread and fantastic support, resulting in a deep tread for effective mud release and grip of trickier terrains. Not all Dubarry boots feature this kind of sole unit; for more formal styles such as<\/mark> the Women’s Dubarry Bray Chelsea Boots<\/a>, a leather and rubber mix is used. This offers a lighter base and suppleness needed for smoother surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n

5. 12 Month Guarantee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every single Dubarry boot is backed by a 12-month guarantee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. …Easy to Clean and Care For!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dubarry want your boots to last, simple as that. There\u2019s no better advert than a pair of boots that are still going strong years after purchase, so they offer customers everything from boot trees for reduction of wrinkling to leather creams to encourage flexibility in the leather. If you wear your boots for yard or agricultural work, be sure to drench them in tap water after contact with manure or ammonia based substances, in order to prolong the life of the leather. After this, you can use the Dubarry Footwear Cleaner<\/a> and Dubarry Leather Cream<\/a> to keep your boots looking in great shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
