wait till the mud has dried and brush off, you can get rubber suede brushes, (or a dandy brush), then spray with a good silicone proofing spray, you can get that from outdoor shops.

Exactly like dubarry's. Don't know how they were allowed to make the design that close.

Rydale also do a similar boot Dubarry look-a-like

I love my dublin boots. Very, very comfy. Not certain they are 100% waterproof but they are pretty good. I have sponged them off & then put on waterproofing leather conditioning stuff. you know the ones that you get from the people at big shows who offer to clean your boots for you!!

We tried the rydale ones on at blair. they are nice, but not quite as good quality, nor as comfy as the dublin ones and much the same price too.
