FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual boating?
Yes, the non-marking rubber soles provide good traction on boat decks. However, for serious sailing or activities requiring specialized footwear, consider marine-specific shoes.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should feel snug but not tight. Your heel should not slip excessively when walking. Given they are leather, they will mold to your foot slightly over time.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the leather is durable, it is not fully waterproof. For light rain or splashes, they should be fine if cared for afterward. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, waterproof footwear is recommended. Consider using a waterproofing spray.
What is the purpose of the 360° lacing system?
This system allows the laces to go all the way around the shoe, providing a customizable and secure fit by adjusting the tension around the entire foot.
How often should I condition the leather?
It's recommended to condition the leather every few months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions or frequent cleaning.
What does 'Leather Working Group certified' mean?
It means the leather used in these shoes comes from tanneries that have undergone an audit by the Leather Working Group, assessing their environmental impact and production practices.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Walking on different surfaces can help break them in naturally.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine. Ensure you are using a product appropriate for the type of leather.
Soles lose grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. While designed for traction, excessive wear or certain surface conditions may reduce grip. Replace the shoes if the sole tread is significantly worn down.

Care:

- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to provide an extra layer of protection against water and stains, particularly if you plan to wear them in wet conditions.
