FAQs

Are Barbour men’s boots true to size?

Yes, Barbour men’s boots typically fit true to size. For styles like the Bede, order your regular UK size. Check the product page for available width options or try them with thick socks if you plan on layering.

What materials are used in Barbour men’s boots?

Barbour uses premium full-grain leather for durability, vulcanised rubber for soles, and cotton linings for comfort. Some models, like the Bede Wellington, also feature neoprene for flexibility and insulation.

How should I care for my Barbour leather boots?

Wipe your Barbour leather boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt, then apply a leather conditioner every 3–6 months. Store them in a dry place with boot trees to maintain their shape, and avoid heat sources like radiators.

Are Barbour men’s boots waterproof?

Most Barbour boots are water-resistant, thanks to waxed leather or rubber. Fully waterproof options, such as the Tempest Wellington, use sealed seams. For added protection, apply a waterproof spray to other styles.

Can I resole my Barbour boots?

Yes, many Barbour boots, such as the Chukka, have stitched soles that are suitable for resoling. A professional cobbler can assess their wear—contact Barbour or The Sporting Lodge for recommended services.

Where are Barbour men’s boots manufactured?

Designed in the UK, Barbour boots are crafted in Europe (for example, Portugal) and Asia, using quality-controlled facilities. Each pair meets Barbour’s high standards for craftsmanship and materials.

Do Barbour boots require a break-in period?

Leather styles like the Readhead may need 1–2 weeks of gradual wear to soften. Start by wearing them for 1–2 hours at a time and use a conditioner to ease the process.

Are Barbour wellington boots suitable for cold weather?

Yes, Barbour wellingtons like the Bede handle cold conditions with rubber insulation. Pair them with wool socks or add thermal insoles for extra warmth in sub-zero conditions.

How do I clean Barbour suede boots?

Use a suede brush to lift dirt, then apply a suede cleaner for stubborn marks. Avoid soaking the boots—dab with a dry cloth if they become damp, and finish with a protective spray to repel stains.

Can I wear Barbour boots for hiking?

Barbour boots are well-suited for light countryside walks, offering durable soles and good grip. However, for rugged hikes, it is advisable to opt for specialist hiking boots as Barbour’s focus is versatile country wear rather than technical trail performance.
