About Dubarry
Over 70 years ago a co-operative was formed to provide work in a small town called Ballinasloe in the heart of Galway on Ireland’s glorious West Coast. Taking its name from a famous French courtesan, Madame du Barry, the company’s formative years were defined through the making of fine quality shoes during which time they were fortunate to be able to draw on a local population of hard-working craftsmen and women. Dubarry’s reputation as one of Ireland’s most respected and successful companies was born out of the workforce’s deep-rooted pride and ambition to produce footwear of the very highest quality. Over the years Dubarry has expanded its international sourcing network, working closely with carefully selected contract partners who share our high standards and desire to work with the best of components, raw materials and unique designs. Dubarry is now recognized around the world and wherever we are we like to feel that we take a little bit of Ireland with us because when something’s good it’s worth sharing.

Alison Eastman-Lawler has been an active part of the sport for 44 years—this past year was her toughest yet, as she battled breast cancer while running her two eventing facilities in Areas I and III, organizing countless schooling shows and clinics, and teaching close to a hundred students. But thanks to her close-knit barn family she’s heading into 2025 with a bright future.
