The Dubarry Kildare, worth it for Christmas?

With Christmas now so close we suggest looking at the Dubarry Kildare boot from as a sensible choice for winter into spring.

The Kildare Boot is a versatile, calf-length boot that is fully waterproof and breathable. It is Gore-Tex ® lined right to the top of the boot and the leathers are treated to repel water. The outside of the boot is made from smooth leathers and crushed leathers that feature Dry Fast, Dry Soft technology. Your feet will stay warm in Winter and cool in Summer.

The boot has a Duo Compound sole directly injected onto the upper, creating one piece with no glueing or stitching, giving a perfect seal to keep water out. The Boot is lightweight and is suitable for all weather conditions - rain, mud and snow.

The top of the boot is finished with a leather band, a finger pull tab stitched at the back. It also features a Lycra stretch adjustable leg top to ensure ease of fit.
A little maintenance is required to keep Dubarry Boots in tip top condition and we recommend that Boots are cleaned and cared for using the Dubarry range of products. Boots should be allowed to dry naturally if they get wet and should not be dried in artificial heat.

Dubarry Clare Christmas Review


I just had a pair of the Dubarry Clare Boots sent to me for a quick review before Christmas. I must say they are super quality. 

Here's the description bit...

The Clare boot is a knee-length boot that is fully waterproof and breathable. It is Gore-Tex lined right to the top of the boot and the leathers are treated to repel water. The outside of the boot is made from smooth leathers and crushed leathers that feature Dry Fast, Dry Soft technology ensuring that your feet will stay warm in Winter and cool in Summer. The Clare boot is also fitted with a smooth leather protection pad on the inside of each boot to protect the crushed leather and is suitable for light riding use.

The boot has a Duo Compound sole directly injected onto the upper, creating one piece with no glueing or stitching, giving a perfect seal to keep water out. The Boot is lightweight and is suitable for all weather conditions - rain, mud and snow.

Here's the review bit...

Compared to other boots at this price these are the real deal. I cannot fault the style or quality of these boots and if you want to make someone very happy this Christmas this could be an ideal choice.

I would rate these 5 out of 5 even though they seem expensive, I reckon they are worth the money.

The only place to see video and 360 degree shots of all of the Dubarry collection is here: Dubarry at A Hume

Let me know if you own a pair of these, I'd love to hear your opinion...

Dubarry's for Christmas?


I have been looking at Dubarry boots with Christmas in mind. Are they too expensive to give as a present, should you sneak a pair into your own bag instead?
Many have tried to emulate the unique qualities of Dubarry of Ireland's top of the range Galway Boot but no one has managed. The Galway stands proudly at the top of Dubarry of Ireland's range and is their world famous signature boot - it is exclusive, individual and beautifully made.
But would you buy them as a present at Christmas?
The Galway Boot is not out of place anywhere - along country paths, around town, in festival mud or on the coast - the Galway simply steps up to the mark as only a real icon can.
The boot is a knee-length boot that is fully waterproof and breathable. It is Gore-Tex ® lined right to the top of the boot and the leathers are treated to repel water. The outside of the boot is made from smooth leathers and crushed leathers that feature Dry Fast, Dry Soft technology.
I wore a the test pair walking a couple of weeks ago and I must say that my feet were unbelievably comfy. Not only that but warm and dry which in Scotland is a must!!!
Your feet will stay warm in Winter and cool in Summer. The boot has a Duo Compound sole directly injected onto the upper, creating one piece with no glueing or stitching, giving a perfect seal to keep water out. The Boot is lightweight and is suitable for all weather conditions - rain, mud and snow. The top of the boot is finished with leather draw strings pulled to the front and finger pull tabs stitched inside to ensure an easier slip onto the foot.
All Dubarry Boots have an unmistakable profile and provide a versatile platform for your own style no matter what you wear with them. Great on their own with jeans, or try them with Alpaca socks or cosy faux fur boot liners. Wear them with your favourite dress - wherever you wear then, they will fit your look as they fit your feet.
So I would say that you couldn't go wrong buying a pair of Dubarry Boots for Christmas as a present, for what you are getting they seem pretty good value to me. I will certainly be popping a pair in my own basket this year.
Let me know what you think...
