FAQs
What is the primary material of the shoe?

What type of outsole does this shoe have?
It is equipped with a durable and grippy rubber Vibram® outsole.
What makes the tongue design unique?
The tongue has a fold-over design inspired by football boots, adding a distinct athletic influence to the classic boat shoe style.
How do I adjust the fit?
The shoe utilizes Timberland's signature rawhide lacing system, allowing you to adjust the tightness and secure the fit.
Is this shoe suitable for hiking?
While the Vibram outsole provides good grip, these are primarily designed as low shoes for everyday wear and smart-casual occasions, not for rugged hiking requiring advanced support.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth for general cleaning and a specific leather conditioner to maintain the leather's quality. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the main benefit of the Vibram outsole?
The Vibram outsole is known for its resilience, providing excellent traction and long-lasting wear on various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is common with premium leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the Vibram outsole offers good traction, all footwear has limitations on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution and ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
Leather shows signs of drying or cracking
Apply a quality leather conditioner regularly, especially after exposure to dry conditions or water. Ensure the shoes are stored away from direct heat.
