FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The 360° lacing system allows for some adjustment. However, if you have significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, as they are designed with a standard fit in mind.
How do I break in new boat shoes?
Wear them for short periods indoors initially. The handsewn leather will naturally soften and mold to your foot over time. Avoid wearing them for long excursions until they feel comfortable.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The siped rubber outsole offers good traction on wet surfaces. While the leather can be treated for water resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended for maintaining the leather's condition.
What is the purpose of the siped outsole?
Siping is the process of cutting small slits into the rubber. This increases the surface area and creates thousands of biting edges, significantly improving grip and traction on wet or slippery surfaces.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on usage and environment. Typically, conditioning every 3-6 months is sufficient to keep the leather healthy and prevent it from drying out.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, these shoes are made of premium leather and should not be machine washed. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth and appropriate leather care products.
What does '2-Eye' refer to?
The '2-Eye' refers to the two pairs of eyelets where the laces pass through, a common design feature in classic boat shoe styles.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility. Ensure the shoes are clean before conditioning.
Shoes feel too tight
Leather will naturally stretch and conform to your foot with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Consider using a shoe tree to gently stretch specific areas.
Soles are slippery on certain surfaces
While designed for traction, very smooth or polished surfaces might reduce grip. Ensure the sipes on the outsole are clear of debris.
Water spots or stains on the leather
Allow shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Use a specialized leather cleaner for spot treatment. Applying a waterproofing treatment can help prevent future stains.
