Aftercare

How to Look After Barker Shoes?

Barker shoes are made with high-quality materials and excellent craftsmanship, making them a long-lasting investment. To keep them looking their best, it's important to care for them properly. Here are some tips for caring for your Barker shoes:

  • Regular cleaning and polishing will maintain the suppleness of the leather and enhance the look of your shoes. A good quality shoe cream or wax polish can be applied to clean shoes using a suitable brush. Once dry, you can remove excess polish before buffing to a rich patina.
  • For suede leathers, remove any dirt when the shoes are dry and brush up the nap using a suede brush.
  • For Patent finished shoes, the Barker brand advises against using polish or shoe cream. These finishes can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth instead.
  • Always use a shoe horn when putting on your shoes to maintain their shape.
  • New leather soles can become slippery on wet surfaces, so it's best to wear your shoes in dry conditions on the first few occasions.
  • If your shoes get very wet, let them dry out fully away from any source of direct heat, such as fires, radiators or hot pipes. If leather is dried too quickly it can become brittle and prone to wear.
  • Dry shoes can be kept on shoe trees to maintain their good looks and shape.
  • Barker strongly recommends against the use of rubber additions to the soles or heels of their shoes, as this will affect your comfort and balance. It can also put excessive stress on the shoes and lead to premature wear. Instead, you may wish to use the refurbishment service provided by Barker themselves, where your shoes can be stripped and reconstructed on the original last by the craftsmen who originally made them.
The Golden Boot offers many products which can be used to help you care for your Barker shoes. These can be viewed in the Shoe Care section of our website.

They are a versatile and classic style that can be worn with everything from suits to jeans.
