Collection: Barbour Footwear
Explore our comprehensive range of Barbour Footwear, engineered to meet the challenges of the British climate. Each pair is constructed from carefully chosen materials, such as full-grain waxed leather and vegetable-tanned finishes, that are designed to resist water and daily wear.
Our Barbour boots are built with full-grain, waxed leather that repels water and stands up to rough use. They feature reinforced stitching, hand-sewn panels at stress points, deep-tread rubber outsoles for reliable grip, removable cushioned insoles, and padded collars to provide comfort whether in town or on country walks.
The Barbour shoes collection comprises brogues, loafers, and deck shoes made from vegetable-tanned leather. These styles include detailed perforations, precise stitching, non-slip rubber soles, moisture-wicking linings, and supportive arches, ensuring stability on cobbled streets and pavements.
For warmer weather, Barbour sandals offer high-quality leather finishes and cushioned footbeds, while Barbour Wellingtons combine practical protection with fine leather trims and signature tartan linings, making them ideal for wet conditions. Each design is rigorously tested to meet the demands of everyday life and outdoor pursuits.
FAQs: Barbour Men’s Footwear Explained
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 width options or try with thick socks if planning 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, feature neoprene for flexibility and insulation.
How should I care for my Barbour leather boots?
Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt, then apply a leather conditioner every 3-6 months. Store in a dry place with boot trees to maintain shape—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, like the Tempest Wellington, use sealed seams. Apply a waterproof spray for added protection on other styles.
Can I resole my Barbour boots?
Yes, many Barbour boots, such as the Chukka, have stitched soles suitable for resoling. A professional cobbler can assess 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 (e.g., Portugal) and Asia, using quality-controlled facilities. Each pair meets Barbour’s 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 with short sessions (1-2 hours) and use a conditioner to ease the process.
Are Barbour wellington boots suitable for cold weather?
Yes, Barbour wellingtons like the Bede handle cold with rubber insulation. Pair 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—dab with a dry cloth if damp. Finish with a protective spray to repel stains.
Can I wear Barbour boots for hiking?
Barbour boots suit light countryside walks, with durable soles and grip. For rugged hikes, opt for specialist hiking boots—Barbour’s focus is versatile country wear, not technical trails.
