FAQs
What makes the leather 'premium'?
The leather is sourced from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group, indicating responsible environmental practices in their tanning processes. This ensures high quality and durability.
How do Ortholite insoles benefit my feet?
Ortholite insoles offer long-term cushioning, superior moisture management to keep feet dry, and inhibit bacterial growth, contributing to overall foot health and comfort.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are made of leather and are not inherently waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but prolonged exposure to water is not recommended.
How do I clean mud or dirt from the leather?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally afterwards.
What is the purpose of the 360° lace system?
The 360° untanned leather lace-up system allows for a fully adjustable and secure fit around the entire shoe, enhancing comfort and stability.
Can I wear these shoes for walking long distances?
Yes, the Ortholite insoles and leather construction provide good support and cushioning for extended wear, making them suitable for walking tours or daily commutes.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these boat shoes?
No-show socks or thin cotton socks are generally recommended for comfort and to maintain the classic boat shoe aesthetic. Thicker socks may be beneficial during the break-in period.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility. Ensure shoes are not exposed to excessive heat or direct sunlight.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Wear the shoes for short periods to gradually break them in. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for traction, extreme wet conditions may still pose a slipping hazard.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep secure
Ensure the laces are properly threaded through all eyelets. Consider double-knotting the laces for added security.
