Irish outdoor clothing and footwear brand Dubarry has announced the launch of its new Palermo range of trainers, designed to offer both on and off-the-water performance.

Dubarry says the Palermo combines the classic sneaker style with modern materials to provide exceptional ventilation and comfort, making it the perfect choice for long days on deck or exploring ashore. 

Featuring a super-lightweight sole and an upper mesh structure for excellent ventilation, the Palermo style takes a classic sneaker shape, making it a useful off-shore option as well. Additionally, a toe guard increases its durability and provides protection when moving quickly on deck. The removable footbed also allows for easy washing to keep trainers performing for longer. 

 The new Palermo range is available in a range of colours and sizes and is sure to be a hit with outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and sailors alike The new Palermo range is available in a range of colours and sizes and is sure to be a hit with outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and sailors alike

The sporty bi-compound sole unit and lightweight premium EVA compound midsole ensure maximum comfort and support, while the non-slip and non-marking outsole comes with a unique water dispersal channel system to prevent aquaplaning. The Palermo also features a traditional lace-up facing for a secure and custom foot fit, a synthetic mesh and lycra upper with an anti-odour, anti-microbial finish that is quick-drying and breathable, and a KPU toe guard that offers high wear resistance and protection in this area.
