Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Barbour Hale boots last for years, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt after each wear. For deeper cleans, use a damp cloth and specialized leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to prevent the material from drying out or cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help the boots maintain their shape when not in use.
- Compatibility: Best paired with socks that offer moisture-wicking properties for all-day comfort.
