FAQs
What type of leather is used in these boat shoes?
The shoes are crafted from premium Timberland® leather, supporting Leather Working Group certified tanneries.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the sizing chart for UK men's shoe sizes. These are designed for adult men and typically run true to size, but a break-in period is expected.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are made from leather and have a siped rubber outsole for traction, but they are not fully waterproof. Avoid submerging them in water.
Can I wear these for formal occasions?
These are best suited for casual and smart-casual occasions due to their boat shoe design. They are not intended for formal wear.
What is the benefit of the siped rubber outsole?
The siped design creates small channels that help to wick water away from the sole, providing enhanced traction on wet surfaces.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few months, or as needed, especially if exposed to dry conditions or frequent wear, to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
What does 'Leather Working Group certified' mean?
It means that the leather used in the product comes from tanneries that are audited and certified for their environmental practices and commitment to sustainability in leather production.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear.
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Leather shows water spots.
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Apply a leather conditioner or protector to prevent future water damage.
Reduced traction on very wet surfaces.
Ensure the siped outsole is clean and free of debris. For extremely slick conditions, exercise caution.
Slight discoloration after cleaning.
Ensure you are using a cleaner appropriate for Timberland leather and follow product instructions carefully. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no assembly. They are ready to wear out of the box, though a short break-in period is recommended for optimal comfort.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. These low shoes pair well with a variety of casual and smart-casual attire, including shorts, trousers, and jeans.
Care: To maintain the quality of the leather, clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Consider using a leather protector spray to help repel water and stains.
