Have you ever wondered just how warm Dubarry Boots are?
Lynn Mueller put our Dubarry Galway Country Boots to the test by taking them on her first ever summit of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, USA!
Standing at 6,288 Ft tall, Mt. Washington is the highest peak in the Northeastern USA, infamous for severe winter weather conditions. Mueller put her Dubarry Galway boots through the ultimate snow boot test... A winter ascent through ice and snow.
Mueller stated that the snow drifts were waist-high, but it was no match for the GORE-TEX lining and DryFast-DrySoft leather combo in our Country Boots.
Dubarry's 85 years of boot-making and more than 30 years of specialization in manufacturing waterproof and breathable leather outdoor boots has resulted in lasting, proven footwear that has been keeping people dry and warm in the field for decades. While our specially tanned leathers are designed to wet and dry so they cope with snow, ice, slush and mud, the waterproof, breathable liner helps to regulate foot temperature and keeps you dry.
Also available is our range of winter boots with extra insulation, designed for spending even longer at lower temperatures than the Galway boots used in this ascent. You can check out our insulated winter boots for Men HERE and for Women HERE .
Alternatively, explore our full range of Men's and Women's Country Boots that are expertly lined with the same versatile GORE-TEX technology as used in Mueller's ascent of Mt Washington - designed to offer comfort across a wider temperature range.
Mountainsides have been scaled, mud has been squelched, gallons of water have been sloshed and still our Dubarry leather country boots keep on going. From our heroic signature Galway boot to the wide choice of colors, heights, fits and styles in the collection, our GORE-TEX lined, waterproof, breathable boots are the ones to beat.
Craftsmanship since 1937.
