The Dubarry style ones? Someone on my yard had three pairs and they all leaked within a week of getting them. She swopped them for muckboots
 
Beware of Ariats (I posted yesterday) quality certainly isnt what it used to be. Brand new Bromonts, not even made it out of the house, zips go on original pair and then on the replacements. Pros have lasted no time either, the old ones from 5-6 yrs ago were brill, I certainly dont rate them now though
 
my daughter got some too and the lining has all ripped in them, shes not happy, to say they were nearly £100 too. cant find the reciept though shes only had them about 4 mths, do u think Dublin will honour a replacement ?

I got mine from Robinsons and just took in my card statement which showed the date. Take them back - where did you get them from? Derby House also have replaced my friends without a receipt. Advice - pick different boots, I adore mine but won't have them again

I've heard of nothing but problems with the Dublin boots, yet I bought a pair in Feb 08 and I love them. Wear them most days, and have had no probs at all with them! Very strange

One of my friend has had them for ages as well, she lives in them and has had no problems.
 
The boots are obviously poor quality. Take them back to Robinson who are legally obliged to refund as the boot are not fit for purpose. If you do not have reciept proof of purchase can be a credit card recipt or bank statement. It is the store, not the makers that are responsible for refund.

While laws concerning sale of goods date back 100 years, the only phrase you need to memorise is 'The Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended)'.

The 'as amended' is important because it refers to laws which have extended the basic 1979 Act and using the phrase tells the trader that not only do you know basic consumer law, you know it has been amended too.

The Sale of Goods Act lays down several conditions that all goods sold by a trader must meet.

The goods must be:

as described
of satisfactory quality
fit for purpose


As described refers to any advert or verbal description made by the trader.

Satisfactory quality covers minor and cosmetic defects as well as substantial problems. It also means that products must last a reasonable time. But it doesn't give you any rights if a fault was obvious or pointed out to you at point of sale.

Fit for purpose covers not only the obvious purpose of an item but any purpose you queried and were given assurances about by the trader.

If you buy something which doesn't meet these conditions, you have the potential right to return it, get a full refund, and if it will cost you more to buy similar goods elsewhere, compensation (to cover the extra cost) too.

Note, however, that the right to reject goods and get a full refund only lasts for a relatively short time after which a buyer is deemed to have 'accepted' goods. This doesn't mean that the buyer has not legal redress against the seller, just that he/she isn't entitled to a full refund.

Instead a buyer is first and foremost entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced.

If these remedies are inappropriate, then you're entitled to a suitable price reduction, or to return the goods and get a refund (reduced to take account of any wear and tear).

The act covers second-hand items and sales. But if you buy privately, your only entitlement to your money back is if the goods aren't 'as described'.

If goods which are expected to last six months don't, it'll be presumed that the goods didn't conform to the contract at the time they were bought, unless the seller can prove to the contrary.

In all other situations, it's for the consumer to prove their own case (that is, that the problem existed at the time of the contract). This will prove more difficult the longer you've had the goods. Subject to this, a consumer has six years from the time they buy something in which to make a claim.
 
I'm suprised with all the problems people are having, I've had mine since last June and worn them everyday and ride in them and they are fine, they have even coped with mud halfway up the boot that I hose off and ouch wood they haven't leaked once. i do treat them once a fortnight with a protector spray though.
