The Dubarry Galway SlimFit™ Gore-Tex Boots are the extra-slim calf version of Dubarry’s iconic Galway country boot. Designed specifically for customers with particularly narrow calves, they provide a close, tailored fit around the lower leg while retaining the same premium waterproof construction and country performance as the classic Galway.
Crafted from Dubarry’s DryFast-DrySoft™ breathable leather and lined with waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX technology, these knee-high country boots offer dependable protection in wet, muddy and changeable conditions. Finished with classic leather tie detailing, a wide entry and a shock-absorbing PU/rubber sole, the Galway Boots are ideal for country walks, dog walking, shoot days, race meetings and everyday rural wear.
Dubarry Galway boots are available in three calf fittings:
These fittings relate specifically to the circumference of the calf. They do not indicate the width of the boot through the foot.
The SlimFit™ is considerably narrower around the calf than the RegularFit™ and is intended for customers with particularly slim lower legs.
Do not choose SlimFit™ simply because you normally wear slim-fitting clothing or have a slim build. In our experience fitting Galway boots in-store, many slim customers still require RegularFit™.
For the best fit, measure around the widest part of your calf while standing and compare your measurement with the Dubarry Galway calf size guide before choosing your fit.
| EU Size | SlimFit™ Calf |
|---|---|
| 35 | 33cm |
| 36 | 34cm |
| 37 | 35cm |
| 38 | 36cm |
| 39 | 37cm |
| 40 | 38cm |
| 41 | 39cm |
| 42 | 40cm |
| 43 | 41cm |
If your calf measurement is close to or above the SlimFit™ measurement for your size, we recommend considering the RegularFit™ Galway instead.
A waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX lining helps keep feet dry while allowing moisture and heat to escape, making the Galway suitable for long days outdoors in unpredictable British weather.
Dubarry’s DryFast-DrySoft™ leather is specially developed for outdoor footwear. It is breathable, durable and designed to remain soft and supple with the correct care while coping with wet and muddy conditions.
The directly injected duo compound PU and rubber sole provides cushioning, grip and shock absorption underfoot, helping keep the boots comfortable during extended periods of walking and standing.
What does SlimFit™ mean on Dubarry Galway Boots?
SlimFit™ refers specifically to the calf circumference. It does not mean that the boot is narrower around the foot. The SlimFit™ Galway has an exceptionally slim calf and is intended for customers with particularly narrow lower legs.
Should I choose SlimFit™ if I am a slim dress size?
Not necessarily. Body or dress size is not a reliable way to select the Galway calf fit. We have found when fitting customers in-store that even very slim customers can require RegularFit™. Measuring your calf is the best way to choose.
Where should I measure my calf?
Measure around the widest part of your calf while standing. Compare this measurement with the Dubarry Galway calf measurement guide for your shoe size.
What if I am between SlimFit™ and RegularFit™?
If your calf measurement is close to the maximum SlimFit™ measurement, we would generally recommend considering the RegularFit™ for greater comfort.
Does SlimFit™ mean the foot of the boot is narrower?
No. SlimFit™, RegularFit™ and ExtraFit™ refer to the calf fitting, not the width of the boot through the foot.
Are the Dubarry Galway SlimFit™ Boots waterproof?
Yes. They feature a waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX lining designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions.
What leather are they made from?
They are crafted from Dubarry’s DryFast-DrySoft™ leather, developed to provide durability, breathability and performance in wet country conditions.
Are they suitable for muddy walks and outdoor use?
Yes. Their waterproof construction, durable leather and shock-absorbing sole make them ideal for country walks, dog walking, muddy fields and regular outdoor wear.
What can I wear them with?
The Galway SlimFit™ works particularly well with leggings, skinny jeans, country skirts, waterproof jackets, tweed coats and knitwear.
