Important information about Dubarry's leather

Yard manure, waste liquids and salt water can be very corrosive to leather. To prolong performance and protection for your Dubarry footwear, always scrub them with a soft brush and rinse with fresh tap water after exposure.

When storing your boots you should follow these guidelines:

• Boots should be cleaned, dried and treated before storing for a prolonged period
• Boots will keep better shape over time when Dubarry boot trees are inserted
• The storage environment should be cool, dry, and consistent
• Avoid storage in direct sunlight or any extreme conditions

Rubber based materials

All rubber based materials may break down over time through the process of oxidation and hydrolysis. This normally occurs after at least 10 years so is not usually an issue. It can be accelerated in tropical climates if not stored in a cool well ventilated place, or if stored in direct sunlight.
