FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Timberland Men's USA Footwear Size Chart provided. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart to find the corresponding US, EU/IT, and UK sizes. For example, US 7 typically corresponds to EU/IT 40.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These boat shoes are designed for style and comfort, with a siped rubber outsole providing traction on wet surfaces. They are not explicitly waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Can I wear these in saltwater?
While the shoes offer good traction, prolonged exposure to saltwater is not recommended as it can degrade the leather and stitching over time. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly if they come into contact with saltwater.
What does 'supporting Leather Working Group certified tanneries' mean?
It means that the leather used in these shoes comes from tanneries that are audited and certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG) for their environmental practices, focusing on responsible water use, energy consumption, and waste management.
How should I break in new boat shoes?
Wear them for short periods indoors initially. The premium leather and OrthoLite® insole will gradually mold to the shape of your foot, providing optimal comfort. Avoid wearing them outside until they feel comfortable.
What is the difference between the Red and Red/Brown color options?
The 'Red' option typically refers to a primary burgundy color. 'Red, Brown' variants may indicate two-tone detailing or variations in the brown undertones within the leather.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consult the size chart and consider an exchange if possible.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. For scuffs, a matching color shoe polish or cream can help conceal minor marks.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the siped rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. Persistent issues may indicate wear on the outsole, requiring potential replacement.
Discomfort from the insole
Allow a break-in period as the OrthoLite® insole conforms to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider using thin, supportive insoles if space allows.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure they are laced to your preferred fit. It is recommended to try them on indoors to confirm the fit before wearing them outdoors.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Leather: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Suede Lining: Gently brush the synthetic suede lining with a soft brush to remove any surface dust or debris.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove dirt and maintain traction.
