FAQs
What is the best way to clean these boots?
Use a dedicated suede brush or a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction to maintain the suede's texture.
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are made of suede, which is not inherently waterproof. Applying a suede protector spray can offer water resistance, but they are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
How should I store my Barbour Kirkstone Desert Boots?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to keep them in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
What type of socks are best to wear with these boots?
Mid-weight cotton or wool blend socks provide good comfort and breathability. Avoid very thin or very thick socks that might affect the fit.
Can I wear these boots in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede boots in heavy rain. While a protector spray can help, excessive moisture can damage the suede material and affect its appearance and structure.
What does the '3-eye design' refer to?
The '3-eye design' refers to the three pairs of eyelets (holes) on each side of the boot where the laces are threaded, which is a standard feature for desert boots.
What material is the lining made of?
The lining is composed of 60% Polyester and 40% Polyurethane.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a suede eraser can be used cautiously.
Boots feel stiff after getting wet
Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain shape. Once dry, brush to restore the nap.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with a similar style and length. Suede or flat cotton laces often complement desert boots well.
