Collection: Dubarry

Dubarry of Ireland is a premium leather goods brand founded in 1937 in Ballinasloe, County Galway. Originally a small Irish shoemaker, Dubarry transformed in the late 20th century into a leading country-living and sailing footwear brand, exporting worldwide. The brand is now synonymous with quality Irish-made leather boots and deck shoes designed for the unpredictable Atlantic weather.

The flagship Dubarry product is the Galway country boot: a knee-high, waterproof, Gore-Tex-lined leather boot designed for shooting, fishing, walking and stable yards. Every Galway is hand-assembled from carefully selected leathers, fully waterproof for the life of the boot, and engineered to mould to the wearer's leg shape over the first weeks of wear. Galway boots are a near-cult product among the country sports community.

Beyond the Galway, Dubarry produces premium deck shoes (sailing has been a brand category since 1989, with technical sailing footwear used by professional crews), waxed jackets, leather knitwear and accessories. The deck shoe range is the choice of choice for serious sailors thanks to the non-slip soles, hard-wearing leathers and salt-resistant construction.

Dubarry sizing uses UK standards. Country boots run true to size, with the brand offering whole sizes only — if you're a half size, go up. Calf fitting can be customised through the boot's adjustable gusset on certain styles. Deck shoes typically run slightly large, so most wearers go down half a size for a snugger sailing fit.

Care: Dubarry leather is among the highest-quality you can buy. Apply Dubarry Leather Cream every few months (the brand sells matching products). Avoid drying near direct heat. With proper care, Galway boots routinely last 20+ years; many customers wear the same pair for decades, returning them to Dubarry's Irish workshop for periodic refurbishment.
