FAQs
What type of leather is used in these boat shoes?
These shoes feature a Premium Timberland® leather upper, known for its durability and quality.
Are these shoes suitable for boating?
While named 'boat shoes' and featuring a functional lacing system and non-marking outsole characteristics typical of boat shoes, their primary design is for casual everyday wear. They can be worn on a boat, but their performance on wet decks is comparable to other casual footwear.
How do I clean the suede version of this shoe?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a suede cleaner kit is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain suede.
What is the heel height of the Crafted Boat Shoe?
The Crafted Boat Shoe has a flat heel height.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but these shoes are not waterproof. For wet conditions, it's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Applying a waterproofing spray designed for leather or suede can provide additional protection.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably with shoe trees to maintain their shape. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
The product information indicates standard width sizing. Please check specific product listings for available width options, though this guide assumes standard sizing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Using thicker socks during the break-in period can also help.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a quality leather conditioner according to the product instructions. This will restore moisture and shine to the leather.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces.
While Vibram® outsoles offer good traction, all rubber soles can become slippery when wet. Exercise caution on slick surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris.
