FAQs

What material are the Barbour Kirkstone Desert Boots made from?

The Barbour Kirkstone Desert Boots are made from 100% rich suede for the upper. The lining is a blend of 60% Polyester and 40% Polyurethane.

How should I clean these suede boots?

You should remove dirt with a dry cloth or a suede brush. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used cautiously. It is advisable to protect the suede with a suitable protector spray.

Are these boots suitable for wet weather?

Suede is not ideal for very wet conditions. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, it's best to avoid wearing these boots in heavy rain or excessively damp environments to maintain their condition.

What kind of outfits do these boots go well with?

These boots are designed for smart-casual wear and pair well with chinos, dark denim, tailored trousers, and smart shirts or sweaters.

How do I ensure a good fit?

The lace-up design allows for adjustment. Loosen the laces before putting them on, then tighten them to your comfort. The rear pull tab helps in easily slipping them on.

Do these boots have good grip?

The product information does not specify grip details. However, desert boots typically have a sole designed for everyday walking on paved or firm surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dull

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and lift the fibers. Brush gently in multiple directions.

Water stains on the suede

Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and lift the affected area. A suede eraser may also help.

Laces feel loose

Retie the laces, ensuring they are firm but not overly tight. If laces become worn, they can be replaced with standard boot laces.

Difficulty pulling boots on

Ensure the tongue is fully forward and the laces are loosened. Use the rear pull tab for assistance.
