About this product

In Cumbria a dub is a puddle or a pool in a beck, and the lanes are full of them from October to April. The Dub is made for those days: low walks where boots feel like overkill and trainers come home soaked.

It has a suede and recycled mesh upper over a Weatherline membrane, and a Tor Grip sole with 3.5mm lugs. A pair weighs 780g in a UK 8. Plenty of our shop colleagues wear them to work.

  • Weatherline membrane under suede and recycled mesh
  • Shallow 3.5mm Tor Grip lugs, comfortable on tarmac too
  • 780g per pair in a UK 8
  • Padded heel collar and a pull loop
  • PFAS-free finish on the suede

    Good shoe, slips on wet slate

    Grippy enough on mud and grass by the Wye. On wet slate steps up at Elan they slipped a couple of times, so I wear boots for anything rocky.

    Comfortable, runs a little big

    Really comfortable on the Exe estuary trail. They come up a touch big, so I'm glad I tried half a size down in the shop.

    Sanjay, Exeter · 27 September 2025 · Bought size 8.5, runs half a size large

    Wear them every day

    Bought them for dog walks and now wear them most days. Dry on the wet fields along the Derwent. On my second pair after the first lasted about two years.
