FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Barbour Ava loafers generally follow standard UK sizing, though the patent leather may feel tighter at first compared to softer leathers.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The patent leather is naturally water-resistant, making them suitable for light rain, but avoid deep puddles to protect the seams.
Do I need to polish them?
No, traditional shoe polish should be avoided. Use a damp cloth to restore the shine.
What is the best way to clean the lug sole?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove any dried mud or debris from the crevices of the tread.
Are they suitable for orthotic insoles?
The shoes have a standard fit, but the removable capacity varies; if you use custom insoles, you may need to check the interior volume.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff when first worn
Wear them indoors with thick socks for short periods to gradually soften the leather.
Surface scuffs on the patent finish
Gently buff the area with a soft, lint-free cloth or a dedicated patent leather cleaner.
Heel slipping while walking
Ensure the shoe is tied or fitted correctly; if slippage persists, consider adding a thin adhesive heel grip insert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are loafers, no complex setup is required; simply ensure the size 3.5 UK fit is correct for your foot width. To maintain the patent leather finish, wipe the shoes down with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemical polishes that could dull the high-shine surface. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. Store them in a cool, dry place and use a shoe horn when putting them on to protect the integrity of the heel counter.
