Barbour EVIE Boots - Brown - UK 8

The Barbour EVIE Boots feature a leather upper and a rubber sole, offering good resistance to light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof and are not recommended for heavy rain, deep puddles, or prolonged exposure to very wet conditions. Applying a leather protector spray can enhance their water resistance.

These boots are listed as a UK size 8 with a regular shoe width. Barbour footwear generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size or consulting Barbour's specific sizing guide if available.

The Barbour EVIE Boots are suitable for mild winter conditions and provide good traction on dry or lightly damp surfaces. However, they do not feature specific insulation for extreme cold or waterproof protection for deep snow. For harsh winter weather, a specialized winter boot would be more appropriate.

The Barbour EVIE Boots feature a low block heel, with a height ranging from 2.5cm to 4.9cm. This heel height provides a comfortable lift without compromising stability, making them ideal for all-day wear.

The rubber sole can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For more stubborn dirt or mud, a soft brush can be used. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before wearing or storing.

Info needed: Check with Barbour customer service or a qualified shoe repair professional for information on replacement insoles specific to the EVIE series. Generic insoles can often be cut to fit if original replacements are not available.

Leather can be stiff initially. Wear them for short periods to break them in. Use thin socks or a boot horn. The elasticated side panels will become more flexible over time. If they remain too tight, consider a professional boot stretcher.

Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore shine and moisture.

For light scuffs, rub gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather repair balm or a dab of matching leather polish can help blend them in. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Squeaking can sometimes come from friction between the insole and the sole or the boot's components. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if it's removable. If not, wear them more to break them in, as new materials can sometimes squeak.

While the rubber sole provides good grip, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on extremely slick surfaces. Exercise caution on wet leaves, ice, or very smooth wet floors. Ensure the soles are clean as accumulated dirt can reduce traction.
