I was on a walk yesterday with a bloke who had some leather Dubarry boots. They looked great, had worn nicely and apparently last a lifetime. They had special leather outers that are waterproof and dry quickly and soft, and had a goretex lining.
His were the Dubarry Ultima sailing boot:

But I also found the Dubarry Kildare, which are supposedly the country version:

and
http://www.gunhill.co.uk/Dubarry-of-Ireland/Dubarry-Kildare-Boot/p-1044-2501/
Both are expensive at around £200-£250, but should last ages and look good. The bloke who was wearing them had his for 7 years and they looked great. He was trudging through deep mud and then just hosed them off later.
Anybody had any experience with this kind of boot?
