Dubarry Deckshoes

seachto7

Deckshoes. Dubarry ones seem to be the ones to have. Kind of came in with a bang in the early 90s with the rugby jocks, and rugby jock wannabees, as well as lounge drinkers.

School kids of a certain type are still wearing them.

Horrendous.

Did you take the horses to France?

Only shoes I've worn day to day for years, love them. Look great and are very comfy. Nicest in brown.

how can poor people afford doc martens?

Always makes me think of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly :pac:

Garret has a moustache ... This is one of those moustaches with the curly ends that hipsters grow when they feel that their passion for independent coffee shops, cross-body bags and bands that no one has ever heard of aren’t getting them enough attention.

The first thing I do, obviously, is laugh in the dude’s face. I’m like, “You really are the most ridiculous person I’ve ever met.”

“Yeah,” he tries to go, “you wouldn’t know anything about it – it’s called style,” and he looks at my chinos and Dubes like he thinks they’re not stylish?

Yeee... With "real" DocMartens costing over €200 a pair I don't think they're for poor kids. Even the MIA (Made In Asia) Docs are over €125 a pair (ok the shoes are about €90)...

Docs aint what they used to be.

They last forever, so they are probably hand-me-downs.

Depends! The 'Vintage/Made in England' docs are made of thicker leather and will last longer.

The regular MadeInAsia Docs dont last near as long as they used to. A pair of 10eye Cherry docs bought last Dec (Dec15) had cracks in the leather by July'16 and the sole is worn down flat.

I did wear them ~5 days a week, but still.

Anyone that I've known that wore decks shoes always had smelly feet. You could smell a horrible odour coming from their shoes if you stood beside them. I don't know if it's a coincidence that the few people I've known with these shoes all were dirty, smelly bastards or if it's a problem with the shoes.

The mother use to bring us over to the Dubarry factory shop in Ballinasloe many years ago when school was starting or there was something on that we had to look respectable for! I use to love the smell of the on site shop.

I love the old Dubarry's shoes so I do.

I wore them in school because they were super comf and hard-wearing. But I wouldn't go near them now as I have developed a sense of style in the interim. I wear comfy AND stylish shoes now. :cool:

Are all their items of clothing just, though?They may be wearing unjust socks , or even corrupt and dishonest undercrackers?

If you wear deck shoes you are a cunt.
If you wear deck shoes and an upturned collar you are a complete cunt.

I wonder are there any Irish bands who could make the Dubarry deckshoe trendy to wear...

My docs cost me $100 in January 2010. One heel is a bit flat, but otherwise they are grand. Not bad considering Ive worn them 7 days a week for 6 months of the year for 6 years.

Also if you register them when you buy them, they come with a lifetime guarantee, so you can get them repaired.

Haven't seen anyone under 35 wearing deck shoes, recently.

Such nonsense. Typical Irish lad's attitude lol. Not a clue about fashion. Go onto any decent men's fashion website and you'll see Deck shoes never go out of style. Every lad should have a pair in his wardrobe.
Go to England/France or Italy for a weekend. You might learn something.

It's part of the school uniform in Italy? They are not essential fashion wear. No.

You should stop creeping on Italian school children & concentrate on your own wardrobe by the sounds of things.
