Default Dubarrys - Are they worth the money?

I really love them and OH has offered to get me a pair for b-day/xmas but I'm struggling to come to terms with spending that much money on a pair of boots!! I'm just worried that I'd get them and then be far to worried to take them out of their box for fear of damaging them let alone actually wearing them Are they worth the money?

It's either those or a pair of Diesel jeans and the Dublin River boots (Dubarry lookalikes)....oh what to do?!!

Get the Dubarry's they are lovely. I have had mine a couple of years and the only form of cleaning they see is the hose

Weezy - Did you look after yours, ie clean/treat leather etc?

2/3 years isn't too bad - are you all wearing them daily? I like the look of the walnut coloured ones though have yet to ever try a pair on, I'm always too scared to go to the stands at any events as they all look too posh!!!

Mine are in their 3rd winter, battered but still waterproof and warm.

Yes, wore pretty much everyday, and treated appallingly The leak isn't THAT bad, but I do not walk in puddles anymore!

Don't be put off going to the stand - they give you free champagne Remember that YOU are the client and without client's money they would have no business

LOVE my Dubarrys! Daughter bought them for me last Christmas and I don't think I've taken them off since! Problem is, daughter loves them so much that she's taken to wearing them herself recently so it looks as though I'll have to buy her a pair!

I wear mine all the time (people must think i have no other shoes!) but they are fabulous!

Free champagne is also a bonus - and if you go to show stands wearing them you can also often get yourself some more champagne then!

I have the dubarry conditioner and waterproofer for mine, 2 years old but still going strong and i would def buy another pair when these are sufficiently battered!!

Love mine dearly - 2 years old this Christmas and have never leaked. I wear them 4/5 days a week at college (ag. course) and often at the weekends too so they get a thorough battering!
