Local Knowledge

Way o/t but does anyone know where you can get Dubarry boots locally? I just remembered what is happening next week and want to keep the missus for another year or two!

Re Dubarry's, I personally prefer riggers boots - harder wearing, warmer, more durable, 25% of the price, don't look too bad IMO. But they don't have a "Dubarry" label, and I guess if I was you I wouldn't dare trying them as a pressie (unless she's a builder of course.. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif )


Oh yes...I bought my Dubarry's from Force4, Bristol, about 3 years ago.

And now I wear riggers boots when it's cold.

Dont you find the treads pick up stones which damage your decks?

There aren't any stones on my decks /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Point taken though, and I always check the soles, especially going onto a customer's boat. But I try not to go ashore in my deck boots anyway, since they wear out quickly, and pick up dirt.

So, do you wear your Riggers to work and your Dubary on the boat?
Confused in Belgium!

Don't know if marine Scene do but ask and i bet they will beat F4.

New company riggers at work, "retired" riggers in the winter on the boat, very old retired riggers in the garden and workshop, dubarrys on the boat in the summer /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

As Csail said, Marine Scene will get them in and generally price match anything on the web, can't say fairer than that!
