Product Information
Full details
The Barbour Gwen Sandal is designed for adult women seeking effortless summer style and everyday comfort. Its key benefit lies in its naturally cushioned cork footbed that molds to your foot, providing personalized support. A potential caveat is that leather may require specific care to maintain its appearance. This warm-weather staple features a premium leather upper and lining, an open-toe design with an ankle strap and buckle fastening, a low heel for wearability, and a durable rubber sole for grip. The distinctive Barbour branded hardware adds a polished touch.

FAQs
How do I determine my UK size?
The Barbour Gwen Sandals are available in UK adult women's sizes. Please refer to standard UK sizing charts for foot measurement if unsure. The product specifies UK 8 for this listing.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper and lining are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these sandals in heavy rain to prevent damage to the leather.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency of conditioning depends on usage and climate. A good starting point is every 3-6 months, or whenever the leather appears dry or feels stiff.
Do the cork footbeds offer arch support?
The cork footbed is designed to mold to the shape of your foot over time, offering personalized cushioning and support. It provides a naturally supportive base rather than rigid arch support.
What is the heel height?
The sandals feature a low heel, adding subtle lift while maintaining comfort for all-day wear.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The sandals have a standard width. The ankle strap allows for some adjustment, but individuals with significantly wide feet may find them narrow.
How should I store these sandals when not in use?
Store the sandals in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a dust bag to protect the leather and prevent dust accumulation.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten
Ensure the buckle pin is aligned correctly with the holes. If stiff, gently work the buckle back and forth. Consider a small amount of wax on the pin if persistent.
Leather upper appears dry or stiff
Apply a suitable leather conditioner following the product instructions. This will help restore moisture and suppleness.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
While the rubber sole offers grip, very smooth or wet surfaces may reduce traction. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For increased grip, consider adding sole grips.
