Leading footwear manufacturer, Dubarry, have announced an innovative promotion to celebrate the company’s 75th anniversary, which by using their International network, will raise €75,000 for the National Breast Cancer Research Institute (NBCRI).

Dubarry have created limited editions of their classic Galway country boot and the Ultima sailing boot featuring the famous Pink Ribbon, the universally recognised symbol of International Breast Cancer Research. Speaking at the announcement of the promotion at the NBCRI Valentine’s Ball in Galway recently, Dubarry Marketing Director, Michael Walsh said: “We gave a lot of consideration as to how we might mark our 75th anniversary and decided that using our international success to make a significant contribution to such a worthy cause was the most fitting of celebrations. We have a very loyal customer following throughout the world for our appropriately named Galway boot, a majority of whom are female, and they can proudly wear these boots in the knowledge that they have helped support a cause that is close to many hearts”. The promotion will be launched at the Cheltenham Race Festival on Thursday March 15th which is Cancer Research Day and the limited edition boots will also feature at The Chelsea Flower Show, Badminton Horse Trials and the Kentucky Horse Trials in the coming months raising awareness of the Galway based charity internationally.

A donation of €300 will secure a pair of these limited edition boots with every cent raised going to the National Breast Cancer Research Institute (NBCRI). Every donation will be acknowledged with a scrolled certificate. There are only 250 pairs available so if you would like to be one of the first to step out in a pair, you can do so now by sending your style choice, along with size and fit, to: breastcancerresearch@dubarry.com or visit dubarry.com.

Sunday at AETA – Organic Treats, Sore-No-More and a Dubarry Extravaganza!

admin — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 15:02:05 +0000

I want to thank Danny Hulse and the entire Dubarry team at AETA. I had them bring out every single item Dubarry makes, in every colour, touched every piece, had them bring the mannequin outside, inside, a bit to the left…can you turn it around please, hmmm… can you try under this light? I must have asked a gazillion questions and they probably all had to take an Advil after my departure. They could not have been nicer and more patient throughout the whole thing. So two big thumbs up for the Dubarry crew!

At any equestrian competition, it is practically impossible to miss the knee-high brown leather boots proudly sported by almost every competitor. More often than not, these distinctive boots are made by Dubarry, a company founded in County Galway, Ireland in 1937. The company is named after Madame Dubarry, Louis XV’s famous lover. The company first became known for making indestructible yachting boots. After much found success, Dubarry quickly decided to apply their technology to a pair of country boots that have become a must-have among equestrian riders.
