Leather feels stiff
Apply a leather conditioner and wear the shoes for short periods to help them soften and mold to your feet.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the rubber soles are clean. If the slipperiness persists, the shoes may be worn and replacement might be considered.
Water spots on leather
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore the finish and prevent future spotting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit comfortably before wearing them for extended periods.
Compatibility: The Barbour Rothley Boat Shoe is designed for adult males and pairs well with a variety of casual attire, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual trousers. They are most suitable for dry or mildly damp conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking. This should be done after cleaning.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to help absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not use heat to dry them.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to provide an extra layer of protection against moisture, especially if worn in potentially wet environments. Reapply periodically.
