We present a computational analysis of the long-range interactions of solitary waves in higher-order field theories. Our vehicle of choice is the φ8 field theory, although we explore similar issues in example φ10 and φ12 models. In particular, we discuss the fundamental differences between the latter higher-order models and the standard φ4 model. Upon establishing the power-law asymptotics of the model's solutions' approach towards one of the steady states, we make the case that such asymptotics require particular care in setting up multisoliton initial conditions. A naive implementation of additive or multiplicative ansätze gives rise to highly pronounced radiation effects and eventually leads to the illusion of a repulsive interaction between a kink and an antikink in such higher-order field theories. We propose and compare several methods for how to "distill" the initial data into suitable ansätze, and we show how these approaches capture the attractive nature of interactions between the topological solitons in the presence of power-law tails (long-range interactions). This development paves the way for a systematic examination of solitary wave interactions in higher-order field theories and raises some intriguing questions regarding potential experimental observations of such interactions. As an Appendix, we present an analysis of kink-antikink interactions in the example models via the method of collective coordinates.
