FAQs
What type of leather is used in these boat shoes?
The shoes are crafted from premium Timberland® leather, known for its durability and quality.
Are these shoes suitable for wearing in wet conditions?
Yes, the siped rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on wet surfaces, making them suitable for damp conditions.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the sizing chart and consider your usual UK shoe size. Leather shoes may feel snug initially but should stretch slightly with wear.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the soft synthetic suede lining is designed for comfort, making them suitable for sockless wear, especially in warmer weather.
What does 'Leather Working Group certified' mean?
It signifies that the leather used in the product comes from tanneries audited and certified by the Leather Working Group, indicating responsible environmental practices in leather production.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions, but conditioning every few months or when the leather appears dry is generally recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
This is common for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Traction seems reduced on very smooth surfaces
While the siped outsole provides excellent grip, extremely smooth or polished surfaces may offer less friction. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris, as this can impact performance.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a quality leather conditioner following the product's instructions. This will restore moisture and suppleness to the leather, enhancing its appearance and longevity.
