Product Information

Full details

The Jones Bootmaker Barking Boots are designed for the adult male who values long-term durability and versatile style, serving as an ideal wardrobe staple for both casual denim and formal tailoring. These boots are constructed from high-quality grained leather and feature a robust Goodyear Welted construction, allowing them to be resoled for years of continued wear. One caveat to keep in mind is that, as with most quality leather footwear, these boots will require a break-in period to reach their peak comfort level.

FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

While the leather is high quality and durable, they are not marketed as fully waterproof. Use a leather water-repellent spray for added protection in damp conditions.

Can I resole the Barking boots?

Yes. Because they feature a Goodyear Welted construction, a professional cobbler can replace the soles once they wear down.

How should I clean the grained leather?

Wipe with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt, allow to air dry naturally away from heat sources, then apply a leather cream.

Do these fit true to size?

The boots follow standard UK sizing conventions. We recommend ordering your usual size, keeping in mind the break-in period.

Can these be worn in winter?

Yes, the durable combat-style sole provides good traction for city winter conditions, though they are not designed for deep snow.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff during first few wears

This is normal for high-quality grained leather. Wear them for short durations indoors to gradually soften the material.

Leather looks dry or dull

Apply a small amount of leather cream or conditioning balm using a soft cloth and buff to restore the natural luster.

Laces coming loose

Ensure they are laced tightly through all eyelets and double-knot the laces if you find they slip during active use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent long-term durability due to Goodyear Welt construction
  • Versatile design matches denim and tailored trousers
  • Resoleable design extends the product's lifespan
  • High-quality, textured grained leather finish

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period to soften the leather
  • Heavier feel compared to canvas or synthetic casual boots
  • Leather requires regular maintenance to retain its finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Barking boots last, avoid wearing them on consecutive days; giving the leather 24 hours to dry out between wears prevents moisture buildup. Use a quality shoe tree to help the leather maintain its shape. For cleaning, wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush and apply a matching leather conditioner periodically to keep the grained leather supple. Since the sole is Goodyear welted, take the boots to a professional cobbler if you notice significant wear on the heel or sole, as the construction allows for full restoration rather than replacement.
