Wellies

[Aja]

My Dubarry's have finally sucumbed and seem to be letting in water through both the leather and the blue stuff.

They are a great bit of kit, but don't want to pay for Dubarry branding.

I notice that Compass 24 have similar boots for £80 and am sure there are others at similar prices (Quaysiders).

I have Musto rubber wellies for getting on/off the boat from the dinghy (swinging mooring) so just need them from when I'm aboard.

I'll give the Dubarry's a good soaking to sea if I can wash the salt out and re-seal with their spray.

What think you?

Send them back to dubarry. They shouldn't leak.

I buy the cheapest and they last 3 or 4 seasons by which time I don't want them on the boat any longer due to the smell

DuBarry provides a great service - they've just fitted new soles and heels to mine. I'd have a word with them - I found them extremely helpful.

Mine are about eight years old - the sole is hardly worn as I only wear them on board.

It is the uppers I'm sure that is letting in.
