FAQs
What material are the Barbour Kirkstone Desert Boots made of?

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.
