FAQs

What material are the Barbour Kirkstone Desert Boots made of?

The boots are made from 100% rich suede for the upper and feature a lining of 60% Polyester and 40% Polyurethane.

How do I clean my suede desert boots?

Gently brush off dirt with a suede brush or dry cloth. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Always test on a small area first.

Are these boots suitable for wet weather?

These boots are primarily designed for dry, smart-casual wear. While suede protector can offer some resistance, they are not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is the best way to ensure a good fit?

Ensure the laces are evenly tightened. The boots may require a short break-in period. If they remain uncomfortable, consider the fit carefully.

How can I make them easier to put on?

Utilize the pull tab located on the rear of the boot to assist in pulling them on.

What kind of outfits do these boots go well with?

They are ideal for smart-casual outfits, pairing well with chinos, tailored trousers, and dark denim jeans.

Do these boots come in other colors or sizes?

The Barbour Kirkstone Desert Boot is available in different colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow instructions carefully.

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable

Wear the boots with appropriate socks for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using a shoe stretcher if persistent tightness occurs.

Water spots on suede

Allow the boots to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and lift the nap. A suede eraser can also be effective on dried water marks.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a similar type and length. Ensure replacement laces are suitable for the boot's eyelets.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and dust regularly using a soft brush or a dry cloth. For tougher marks, a dedicated suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Protection: Apply a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or box to protect from dust and moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade the suede.
  • Avoid Wet Conditions: While the suede protector offers some resistance, these boots are best kept away from heavy rain and prolonged exposure to moisture.
