While the leather construction and welted design provide good resistance to puddles, they are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a leather protector spray for better performance in heavy rain.
Yes, the Barking boots feature a Goodyear welted construction, meaning a professional cobbler can easily remove and replace the soles.
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though we recommend wearing the type of socks you plan to use with them when trying them on for size.
Wipe away loose dirt with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a high-quality leather cream periodically to maintain the leather's suppleness.
Their pared-back, black leather aesthetic makes them suitable for smart-casual events and business-casual offices, though they are not a substitute for formal dress oxfords.
This is normal for high-quality leather; wear them for short periods initially and apply a leather conditioner to accelerate the softening process.
Use a double knot or consider replacing with slightly waxed cotton laces which provide better friction for a secure hold.
Gently buff the area with a matching black leather cream and a soft horsehair brush to restore the texture and luster.
Because these boots utilize natural leather, proper care is essential for maintaining their appearance and structural integrity. Use a high-quality leather cream or polish to keep the grained surface hydrated and prevent cracking. Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to dry out. If the boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally by stuffing them with paper towels to absorb internal moisture. Once the sole wears down significantly, consult a professional cobbler to utilize the resoleable Goodyear welt, ensuring the boots remain functional for years.
