Dubarry boots, at SEWE and in the field

The finest waterproof leather boots for the Lowcountry come from DuBarry of Ireland. Celebrating 75 years of dedication to craftsmanship, these handsome and functional boots do not compromise in terms of quality. The soft leather of the Galway boot covers the foot with the fit of a fine shoe. The upper portion is loose enough to provide the easy on and off that town and country folks appreciate, though once they are on there is little reason to remove these light and comfortable boots. The tanned leather and gore-tex ensure that feet stay dry, with the same effectiveness as a rubber boot. Equestrian enthusiasts have known for a while that DuBarry boots are great in the saddle, and also excellent for the clean up after riding when the hose wets the horse and seemingly everything else, except their feet stay dry. DuBarry boot soles are molded to the leather cowhide upper without gluing or stitching to create a one-piece look and feel. The Galway boot comes in several shades of brown with the walnut shade the most popular for men. The DuBarry boots come in European sizes only, and to view their US boot size conversion chart, visit the Internet at www.DuBarry.us. Since I have been wearing Dubarry I have had plenty of questions about it being difficult to get 'stovepipe' boots on and off. My answer is that the soft leather of these boots make it quite easy to take them off whether standing or seated. Also, Dubarry sells a bootjack, and I do find that this useful tool can make taking these boots off even easier. Look to the 2014 Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE) for lots more DuBarry presence for southerners to experience.
