FAQs
What type of leather is used?
The shoes are made with premium full-grain Better Leather, sourced from a tannery recognized for its sustainable water, energy, and waste management practices.
How do I adjust the fit of the shoes?
Utilize the 360° functional rawhide lacing system. Loosen or tighten the laces around the shoe to achieve a custom, secure fit.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are made from leather and offer some water resistance when treated with a waterproofing spray. They are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
What is the benefit of the siped rubber outsole?
The siped design features small cuts in the rubber that increase surface area and create more edges, providing enhanced grip and traction, especially on wet surfaces, without marking.
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 dry conditions or frequent use.
Can these shoes be worn in formal settings?
These are classic boat shoes designed for casual wear. They are best suited for relaxed social gatherings, weekends, or boating activities, not formal events.
What does 'handsewn construction' mean for the shoe?
Handsewn construction refers to a traditional method where the upper part of the shoe is stitched directly to the sole by hand. This typically results in a more flexible, durable, and authentic product.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct size. Adjust the rawhide laces for a better fit.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a leather conditioner according to product instructions. Regular conditioning will restore moisture and shine.
Soles lose grip
Ensure the soles are clean and free from mud or debris. While the siped design offers grip, extreme wear on the rubber may reduce effectiveness over time.
Laces fray or break
Replace the rawhide laces with a similar quality pair. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid premature wear.
