Dubarry sailing boots

[Red Panda]

Mine failed spectacularly last summer, while preparing lines in pishing rain on the foredeck.
Timpson’s had a go at sticking them (for no cost, as he wasn’t sure it would work) - lasted an hour.
I hear a rumour of a local cobbler who can fix them, I’ll try that, I’ll but I’ve ordered some Orca Bay boots for the Irish summer.

Has anyone tried the Chatham Solor boots? The only review I’ve found just says “buy a size larger than usual”.

I can heartily reccomend Zihk boots. Toasty warm and very good non- slip soles. Plus gaiters to stop waves going up your trouser leg.
