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.

About MGM Boats

MGM Boats is one of Ireland's leading boat brokers now operating internationally as well as throughout Ireland. MGM Boats was founded in 1997 by brothers Martin and Gerry Salmon who were previously worked as a carpenter, joiner and glass fibre laminator in the 1980s. Martin progressed to boat retailing in the late 1980s and Gerry was a service manager in the 1990s. From these many years of experience, MGM Boats was founded in 1997. It started out as a service, maintenance and repairs company based in Malahide, Co. Dublin.

The company grew in 1998 when the Aquador dealership was acquired. Starting as they meant to go on, in 2001 MGM became distributors for Jeanneau Motorboats and Yachts and also opened its second office in Belfast. MGM had begun to create what would be an international and acclaimed brokerage company.

In 2003, MGM Boats moved to Dun Laoghaire Harbour, Co. Dublin. The large office space and yard expanded the service department and paved the way for MGM to acquire the dealership for Sunseeker in Ireland in 2003.

From then, MGM built up its brokerage listings and in 2009 it opened its office in Hamble, UK. This has led to many years of MGM being present at all major UK boat shows, and each year growing their presence and listings.

The success of MGM's brokerage listings spread internationally, leading in 2012 to 2 new offices being opened in the Mediterranean - in Villamoura, Portugal and Mallorca, Spain. The now international brand and team throughout these years received many awards for their enterprising spirit, customer service and international presence, including winning Sunseeker Distributor of the Year in 2007, 2009 and 2011.

This also led to a new Irish office being opened in Kinsale, Co. Cork increasing their presence within Ireland as well as abroad.
