FAQs
What material is the shoe made of?
The upper is made from premium Timberland® leather, and the outsole is a durable Vibram® rubber.
How do I adjust the fit?
The 360° rawhide lacing system can be loosened or tightened by adjusting the laces through the eyelets to achieve a secure and comfortable fit.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant when treated with a suitable waterproofing product, but the shoes are not fully waterproof. Avoid submerging them in water.
What is the best way to clean the leather?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
Yes, the Vibram® outsole provides good traction. However, prolonged exposure to water can affect the leather, so allow them to dry thoroughly afterward and consider using a waterproofer.
What type of socks should I wear with these boat shoes?
No-show socks or traditional boat socks are recommended for comfort and to maintain the intended aesthetic. Cotton or moisture-wicking blends work well.
How long should I expect these shoes to last?
With proper care and regular maintenance, the durable leather and robust construction, especially the Vibram® sole, are designed to provide long-lasting wear for several years.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture. Ensure the shoes are kept away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace rawhide laces with similar quality laces. Inspect laces regularly for wear and tear.
Soles showing signs of wear
The Vibram® outsole is designed for durability, but significant wear may require professional resoling by a cobbler experienced with boat shoes.
