Full details
The Barbour Gwen Ankle Strap Sandal is designed for adult women seeking stylish and comfortable footwear for warmer weather. Its key benefit is providing a blend of timeless design with personalized, all-day comfort thanks to a cork footbed. A potential caveat is their 1.5kg weight, which offers a substantial feel but may be more than some users prefer for light travel.

FAQs
What are the Barbour Gwen Sandals made of?
The sandals feature a 100% leather upper, a 100% leather lining, and a 100% rubber sole. The footbed is made of cork.
How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?
The sandals have a buckle fastening on the ankle strap, which allows you to adjust the fit for comfort and security.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The ankle strap is adjustable, which can help accommodate different foot widths. However, the overall width of the sandal is determined by the shoe's design.
Can I wear these sandals for long walks?
The cork footbed is designed for comfort and moulds to your foot, offering good support for extended wear. The rubber sole provides a sturdy base. However, their 1.5kg weight might be a consideration for very long treks.
How should I clean my leather sandals?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the leather.
Do the sandals come in other colours?
This guide focuses on the Brown colourway. Please check product listings for available colour options.
What is the heel height?
The Barbour Gwen Sandals feature a low heel, providing a subtle lift without compromising comfort.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather products often require a short break-in period. Wear the sandals for short intervals around the house to allow the leather and cork footbed to soften and mould to your foot's shape.
Buckle feels difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the buckle prongs are correctly aligned with the holes in the strap. If stiff, a small amount of leather conditioner applied sparingly to the buckle mechanism might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Slight discolouration or marks on leather.
This can be a natural characteristic of leather. For minor marks, try gently wiping with a clean, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, consult a specialist leather cleaner.
