Just the best in my view
I’ve been buying Barker for years.
Still got all of my original pairs purchased. Several refurbs. And when they come back, they’re like new.
As the saying ends… ‘buy right.

Shoes arrived on time and well presented in a good box with accessaries . Good looking Casula/formal loafers in an attractive light tan colour . I have not worn yet but like my other loafers from Barker I am confident . The only question that I have is the advice on putting rubber soles is that it's ok but that it may or will invalidate the warranty unless they ate fitted at the factory by Barker . Otherwise I like these new shoes .

Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear your loafers arrived well and you’re happy with their quality and style.
Regarding rubber soles, we recommend any alterations are carried out by Barker or an approved professional, as third-party modifications may affect the warranty.
Great quality shoes that last.

Misleading marketing offer
I would love to give you a 5 star but you did mislead me when offering me a 10% discount if I enrolled on your mailing list. The sole condition when asking me to enroll was that the purchase needed to be over £150. Yet once enrolled those terms changed to something materially different. Therefore felt very misled.

Reply from Barker Shoes
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re really sorry to hear about your experience.
We completely understand how frustrating it must feel if the discount terms appeared to change after you signed up. That is not the experience we want for our customers, and we apologise for any confusion or inconvenience caused.
Your comments have been shared with our team so we can review how this was communicated and ensure our offers are clearer in the future. We truly value your trust and hope we can make things right for you going forward.

Always excellent, quality craftsmanship at a fair price compared to other shoemakers. 👍👌👍

I have three very good pairs of made in UK Barker Shoes with which I am extremely
happy. The pair recently purchased and returned for a refund were made in India. There was nothing wrong with the fabrication of the shoes but I found them to be completely insubstantial and would not be suitable for the purpose for which they were purchased. I will continue to buy the UK made shoes.

Dear Gerard McNamara,
Thank you for your email, and first of all, please accept our sincere apologies for the delay with your order EU-14347.
We completely understand your concern, especially as a valued long-term Barker customer, and we truly regret the inconvenience caused in this instance.
As previously shared over email, your order was unfortunately sent to another customer by mistake due to a warehouse handling error. We are currently arranging for the pair to be returned back to us, after which we will immediately dispatch it to you as a priority.
We sincerely apologize again that this issue took time to identify and resolve. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, especially to our loyal customers.
Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. We will continue to keep you updated regarding the progress of your order.
