FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
These boat shoes are not waterproof. They are constructed from leather and are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions where slip resistance is needed, such as on a boat.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should fit snugly but comfortably around your foot. There should be no significant heel slippage when walking, and your toes should not feel cramped. Use the 360° lacing system to fine-tune the fit.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, boat shoes are traditionally designed to be worn without socks. The interior is typically comfortable for direct foot contact.
What is the main benefit of the siped rubber outsole?
The siped (slits cut into the rubber) outsole is designed to channel water away, providing enhanced grip and traction on wet surfaces while also being non-marking.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and environment. Generally, conditioning every 3-6 months is recommended, or whenever the leather appears dry or starts to feel stiff.
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
These shoes are designed for casual wear and light traction. They are not intended for strenuous hiking activities, as they lack the ankle support and ruggedness required for such terrain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if alternative lacing adjustments can be made.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility. Follow the product instructions for the conditioner.
Outsole leaving marks
While designed to be non-marking, some surfaces can still show faint traces. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For most surfaces, marks should be minimal.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Conditioning: To keep the premium leather supple and prevent cracking, use a leather conditioner specifically designed for nubuck or full-grain leather periodically.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect from dust and scratches.
