How do I determine my UK size?

Refer to a standard UK men's shoe size chart. This guide is for size UK 13.5.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these boat shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as the leather can be damaged and they may lose comfort.

What type of socks should I wear with boat shoes?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Allow a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size.

Leather appears dry or cracked

Apply a good quality leather conditioner to restore moisture. Avoid exposing the shoes to extreme heat or prolonged dryness.

Soles have lost grip

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove debris. If wear is significant, professional resoling might be an option, though typically these shoes are replaced when soles are heavily worn.
