Funny you should say that.. I've not long repaired my trainer soles with sikaflex, and a few years back the soles on two pairs of deck shoes that were flapping in the wind like tongues..
Dubarry Ultima.. a little local difficulty..

The problem with foam is oxidation. Worn or stored, light or dark, it's going to happen. You've nothing to complain about after 25-30 years.

Hmmm my Dubarry pair lost both their soles at the end of last season - clearly irreparable - after about 12 years of only light use, which was disappointing. I can't afford Doobs any more, and the manner of their demise also points me towards looking at another brand.
I saw the Orca Bay boots on Marine Superstore, clearly an imitation but I don't care as long as they work. Has anyone else any experience of them to offer? How do they size? My Doobs were a little large because I had to do mail order, but I'm likely going to have to do the same again, unless I go for rubber boots locally
