F1 technology helps grip

Dubarry say it turned to the world of Formula One for inspiration when designing the sole of its shoes and boots.

They felt the tyre technology in F1 would help them design the best non-slip rubber outsole for grip on deck.

The result, they say, is the award winning Dubarry outsole design.

Modelled on the car tyre, the design consists of a series of interconnecting channels to allow water to be dispersed away from the point of impact in several different directions simultaneously, rather than trapping pockets of water as conventional razor cut soles do.

The Dubarry outsole is featured on all new designs in the Aquasport collection, including Conquest, the sporty moccasin, and Waterline for ladies, on Shamrock yachting boots, Ultima and Seaquest from the waterproof and technical collection.
