FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather construction offers natural resistance to light rain, they are not classified as fully waterproof footwear.
Do the Barbour Sofie boots run true to size?
Generally, these boots follow standard adult sizing. If you plan to wear very thick winter socks, you may want to consider this when selecting your fit.
How do I clean the lug sole?
The lug sole can be cleaned using a stiff-bristled brush to remove trapped mud or debris, followed by a damp cloth.
Can I replace the insoles?
The boots feature Barbour branded footbeds; while they are generally fixed, you can add an orthotic insole if extra arch support is required.
Are these suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, once the leather has been broken in, the cushioned footbed and supportive lug sole are designed to provide comfort for extended periods of standing or walking.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during initial wear
Wear the boots for short durations inside the home with thick socks to gently stretch and soften the leather.
Elastic side inserts feeling tight
Ensure the heel tab is pulled firmly during entry; the elastic will naturally relax and conform to your foot shape with consistent use.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a matching leather cream or polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the black finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are pull-on Chelsea boots, no complex setup is required. For the best fit, pair them with medium-weight socks during the first few wears to protect your skin while the leather softens. To maintain the leather's longevity, wipe away dirt and mud using a soft, damp cloth after every use. It is recommended to use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying or cracking. Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the material and elastic panels.
