While the grained leather and Goodyear welt provide good protection against rain, they are not fully waterproof boots. Use a protective spray for extra resistance.
Yes, thanks to the Goodyear Welted construction, a professional cobbler can easily replace the outsoles when they eventually wear down.
Use a neutral or black leather cream to nourish the leather. Avoid heavy waxes that might fill in the grained texture excessively.
The Barking boots follow standard UK sizing. If you plan on wearing heavy wool socks, some users prefer to stick with their standard size for a snug fit.
Yes, the pared-back silhouette is refined enough to be worn with tailored trousers, making them a great smart-casual option.
Wear them for short periods around the house with thick socks to gently stretch the leather.
Apply a simple double knot or consider replacing with slightly textured waxed laces for better grip.
Use a specialized horsehair shoe brush to lift debris out of the textured leather crevices.
To ensure your Barking boots last, avoid wearing them two days in a row; this allows the leather to dry out naturally from moisture absorbed during daily use. Use cedar shoe trees to maintain the boot's shape and absorb internal humidity. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the grained texture, then apply a high-quality leather cream or wax conditioner specifically formulated for grained leather. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack.
