FAQs

What type of socks are best with driving shoes?

No-show socks are recommended to maintain the sleek look of driving shoes, especially with trousers or shorts. Thin dress socks can also be worn.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the leather is durable, these driving shoes are not designed for heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather and affect the shoe's structure. It's best to wear them in dry conditions.

How should I store my Barbour Courage Driving Shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. It is advisable to keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag.

What is the sole made of?

The description mentions a flexible outsole, typically designed for comfort and grip, common in driving shoe styles.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The shoes are designed with a standard fit. While the leather will naturally conform to the foot, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if they are exposed to dry conditions or heavy wear. This helps maintain the leather's natural oils and flexibility.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially

This is normal for new leather. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.

Leather scuffs easily

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, consider using a leather conditioner or a cream polish in a matching color.

Tie-up bows come undone

Ensure the bows are tied securely. If the laces are slippery, consider a double knot or replacing the laces with a textured alternative.

Discoloration or water marks

Address water marks immediately by allowing the shoes to dry naturally. Apply a leather conditioner once dry. For significant discoloration, consult a professional shoe repairer.
