FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, Vagabond Shoemakers typically follow standard European sizing, but leather shoes may feel snug at first.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While durable, they are not waterproof. Use a water-repellent spray to provide a layer of protection against light moisture.
How do I keep the brown color vibrant?
Regularly applying a brown-tinted leather polish will help maintain the depth and richness of the color.
Can I replace the insoles?
The BARI features a fixed construction, but you can add slim, non-adhesive orthotic inserts if additional arch support is needed.
What is the best way to store them?
Using shoe trees is highly recommended to maintain the shoe's shape and absorb excess moisture after a long day of wear.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon initial wear
This is normal for premium leather; wear the shoes for short periods around the house to gradually break them in.
Scuffs on the surface
Use a matching brown shoe polish or leather cream to buff out light scuffs and restore the uniform finish.
Leather becomes wet
Stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry slowly at room temperature; never use a hairdryer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vagabond Shoemakers BARI remain in top condition, proper care is essential.
- Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a leather protector spray to guard against moisture and dirt.
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wear to remove dust or debris.
- Conditioning: Use a high-quality leather cream or conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can dry out and damage the leather.
- Compatibility: These shoes are best paired with cotton or wool-blend socks to ensure breathability and to prevent internal moisture buildup.
