FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
These are primarily casual shoes. While the classic design has some versatility, they are best suited for informal and smart-casual settings.
How do I ensure the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing indicated (UK 9 in this case). It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models and brands. Consult sizing charts if purchasing online.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these are not waterproof boots. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions, dry climates, or after cleaning.
What is the main benefit of the handsewn construction?
Handsewn construction offers a traditional aesthetic, flexibility, and a more personalized fit as the shoe conforms to your foot over time. It signifies quality craftsmanship.
Can the laces be replaced?
Yes, the laces can typically be replaced. Ensure you purchase the correct length and type of lace suitable for boat shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Wearing them with good quality socks can also help improve comfort during the break-in phase.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a leather conditioner generously to restore moisture. Ensure regular conditioning, especially in dry climates or after cleaning.
Sole is losing grip
Clean the lug outsole to remove any embedded debris that might be reducing traction. If the wear is significant, consider professional sole replacement.
Discoloration on leather
Try cleaning with a damp cloth. For persistent discoloration, use a specific leather cleaner for burgundy leather. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions:
