Design & Craftsmanship:

  • Upper Construction: The Rutherford features a sleek black calf leather upper with a high-gloss finish, known for its smooth texture and refined appearance.

Construction & Fit:

  • Construction Type: Cemented, ensuring durability and a lightweight feel.

  • Fitting Type: G, offering a comfortable fit for a range of foot shapes.

  • Last Shape: 463, providing a sleek and elongated profile.

  • Material / Finish: Calf leather with a high-gloss finish, contributing to the shoe's elegant appearance.

  • Sole Type: Cemented leather sole, complementing the shoe's classic aesthetic.

Styling & Versatility:

The Barker Rutherford - Black Hi-Shine is suitable for various occasions:

  • Formal Events: Its polished appearance makes it ideal for weddings, galas, or business events.

  • Smart Casual: Pairs well with tailored trousers or chinos, adding sophistication to smart-casual ensembles.

  • Everyday Elegance: The classic design ensures versatility, making it a reliable choice for daily wear.

Care & Maintenance:

To preserve the Rutherford's appearance and longevity:

  • Regular Polishing: Use appropriate shoe polish to maintain the leather's shine and protect it from environmental elements.

  • Proper Storage: Store the shoes with shoe trees to maintain their shape and absorb moisture.

  • Re-soling: Given the cemented construction, the Rutherford may not be as easily resoled as Goodyear welted shoes. However, proper care can extend its lifespan significantly.
