FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Barbour Ingrid boots feature a premium leather and suede upper. While suitable for cold weather, they are not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable water and stain protector specifically designed for leather and suede before wear and regularly thereafter, especially if you anticipate exposure to rain or snow.
How do I determine my size?
These boots are listed in UK adult female sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to a standard UK shoe size chart. If you are between sizes, consider your usual preference for boot fit, as leather and suede can stretch slightly over time. Info needed: [Provide a link to a general Barbour size chart if available]
Can I wear these in heavy snow?
While the tracked rubber sole offers good grip in cold conditions, the leather and suede upper is not designed for heavy, wet snow without proper waterproofing treatment. Prolonged exposure to heavy moisture can damage the materials. For extremely heavy snow, consider dedicated snow boots.
What kind of heel do these boots have?
The Barbour Ingrid boots feature a comfortable 40mm heel, providing a subtle lift without being too high for everyday wear. The heel is integrated into the tracked rubber sole for stability.
How do I care for the tassel and hardware details?
The tassel, logo tab, and other hardware details are designed for durability. For the tassel, gently brush to keep it neat. For hardware, simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its shine. Avoid using harsh chemicals on these details.
Are these boots suitable for wide calves?
Info needed: [Provide circumference measurements or fitting advice for the shaft of the boot if available]. Without specific measurements, it is recommended to check the fit carefully, as knee-high boots can vary in calf circumference.
What is the lining material?
The Barbour Ingrid boots are lined with a textile material, providing a soft and comfortable feel against the leg for enhanced wearability in cooler weather.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or stuck.
Ensure the boot is clean and free of debris around the zipper teeth. Try gently rubbing a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to ease movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Boots feel uncomfortable or tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. Leather and suede can soften slightly with wear. Wear with thin socks initially, or consider using a shoe stretcher designed for boots if needed for a specific area. If discomfort persists, consult a shoe specialist.
Suede is discolored or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and lift away light marks. For deeper discoloration, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following the product instructions carefully.
Leather appears dry or has minor scuffs.
Clean the area thoroughly, then apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner or polish in a matching color. Buff gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, professional repair may be needed.
Lack of traction in icy conditions.
While the tracked rubber sole offers good grip, no sole is foolproof on ice. Exercise extreme caution on icy surfaces. Consider adding ice grips to the boots for severe conditions if you anticipate frequent exposure.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Barbour Ingrid Boots, follow these care guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently brush off any dry dirt or dust from both the leather and suede sections using a soft brush. For suede, use a specialized suede brush.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks on leather, wipe with a damp, soft cloth. For suede, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
- Protection: Before first wear and periodically thereafter, treat both the leather and suede with a suitable protective spray designed for both materials. This helps repel water and stains.
- Drying: If boots become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight). Do not force dry.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to the leather sections to keep them supple and prevent cracking. Avoid applying conditioner to the suede.
- Storage: Store boots upright using boot trees or by stuffing them with paper to help maintain their shape. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Sole Care: Regularly check the tracked rubber sole for embedded debris and clean as needed to maintain traction.
