Dubarry boots

[Aja]

Has anyone sent back boots to be re-sealed?

My boots have good tread depth left but are letting in water quicker than I can bail out. Is it worthwhile sending boots back to get the Dubarry treatment or just splash out on a pair of Quaysiders or equivalent?
How much is involved...

Mine let in water to begin with but sent them back and they were sorted pdq.
Not sure if they're worth the money tho

second best £150 I ever spent

Agree with money well spent.

Can you reproof them? Thought it was a membrane between the lining and the outer that made them waterproof

returned mine to Dubarry with a similar problem,the repaired and returned them very quickly asking only for a contribution towards the express mail service - approx £20 Excellant service

Sounds excellent. Can you confirm that the boots you sent back were used and not new?

they were about 18 months old when I sent them back- came back religned and like new - still have them now three years later !!

Great Stuff. Will get onto their website and see what the situation is.

I dont mind paying to get them reproofed. I like my feet warm and dry.

Cant say I've had the same service from Quayside with the £70, boots I bought from them.

After only 4 very comfy years they STILL dont leak! Still no reason to send hem back. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
