FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
These boat shoes are made from premium leather and are water-resistant to a degree, but they are not fully waterproof. For enhanced protection in wet conditions, consider applying a dedicated leather waterproofing spray.
How do I choose the right size?
The Timberland Crafted Boat Shoe in Black (UK 9.5) is designed for a standard men's fit. It is recommended to refer to Timberland's sizing chart or try them on in-store if possible. As this is a leather shoe, it may feel snug initially but will stretch slightly with wear.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the leather offers some protection, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
What is the best way to clean the leather?
Use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Follow up with a leather conditioner to maintain the material's quality.
How long does the Vibram® outsole typically last?
Vibram® outsoles are known for their durability. Lifespan varies greatly depending on frequency of use and terrain, but they are designed for long-term wear and excellent traction.
Is the lacing system purely decorative or functional?
The 360° rawhide lacing system is functional, allowing you to adjust the fit around your entire foot for a secure and personalized feel.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. You can also use a leather conditioner to soften the material.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
While Vibram® outsoles offer good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. Consider a waterproofing treatment for the leather.
Scuffs or scratches on the leather
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a leather repair cream or polish matching the shoe color.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and debris with a soft, dry brush or cloth. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Conditioning: To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent cracking, use a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for full-grain leather. Apply sparingly according to the product's instructions.
- Protection: For added water and stain resistance, consider using a leather protector spray. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning or conditioning.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
