Product Information
Full details
The Timberland 3-Eye Lug Handsewn Boat Shoe in Burgundy is designed for adult males seeking comfort and durability for everyday wear. Its key benefit is the classic boat shoe style combined with rugged traction from its lug sole. A potential caveat is that the handsewn construction, while durable, may require a brief break-in period.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The 3-Eye Lug Handsewn Boat Shoe generally offers a standard fit. If you have wider feet, consider trying them on in person or looking for reviews that specifically address width.
How do I clean the lug sole?
Use a stiff brush to remove mud and debris. For stubborn dirt, a damp cloth or mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing and air drying.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the lug sole offers good traction, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. Applying a waterproofing spray can offer some protection against light moisture, but they are not designed for heavy rain.
What is the best way to condition the leather?
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a soft cloth, working it into the leather in a circular motion. Allow it to absorb, then buff off any excess with a clean cloth.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
Yes, Timberland offers the 3-Eye Lug Handsewn Boat Shoe in various colors, including brown and beige, as seen in the product siblings.
What does 'handsewn' mean for the construction?
Handsewn construction means the upper part of the shoe is stitched to the sole by hand. This is a traditional method known for its durability and aesthetic appeal.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or stiff
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Wearing them with medium-weight socks can also help stretch the leather gently.
Leather shows water spots
Wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and allow to dry naturally. Follow up with a leather conditioner once dry.
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure the laces are not tangled. If they feel rough, consider replacing them with waxed cotton laces for smoother adjustment.
