FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Barbour Rothley Boat Shoes are made of suede and are not waterproof. They can be treated with a waterproofing spray for some protection, but they are best avoided in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I clean suede?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear these shoes in the summer?
Yes, the breathable nature of suede and the boat shoe style make them an excellent choice for warmer weather and casual summer outfits.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
These boat shoes are often worn with no-show socks or thin cotton socks to maintain a casual aesthetic. They can also be worn sockless for a classic look.
How should I store my suede boat shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and moisture. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
What is the main difference between the suede and leather Rothley models?
The primary difference is the material. Suede offers a softer, more textured finish, while leather typically provides a smoother, more water-resistant surface. Care instructions will also differ.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should fit snugly but comfortably without being tight. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The lace-up design allows for some adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. The natural suede will soften and conform to your foot shape over time.
Laces are difficult to tie or come undone
Ensure laces are threaded correctly. If they consistently come undone, consider using a double knot or replacing them with a different style of lace that offers more grip.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber sole offers grip, suede is not ideal for very wet conditions. Minimize wear in heavy rain or on slick surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean of debris for optimal traction.
