FAQs
What type of leather are these shoes made from?
These shoes are crafted from premium nubuck leather, which is known for its smooth, durable, and slightly napped surface.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are made from leather and have a rubber sole, offering some resistance to water. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended without a dedicated waterproofing treatment.
How should I break in these boat shoes?
Wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Walking around indoors can help them mold to your feet for a more comfortable fit.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the soft leather lining and cushioned insole are designed to provide comfort for wear with or without socks.
What is the advantage of a non-marking rubber sole?
A non-marking rubber sole provides good traction on various surfaces without leaving scuff marks or stains on indoor flooring, making them suitable for both outdoor and indoor use.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Timberland and consider your usual fit. If possible, try them on in-store as leather shoes can stretch slightly over time.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a dedicated nubuck or leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try gently rubbing with a nubuck eraser or a clean, dry cloth. For deeper marks, a leather repair crayon in a matching color might be necessary.
Soles are losing grip
Ensure the rubber soles are clean from debris. If the tread is significantly worn, replacement may be needed, though this is typically a long-term wear issue.
Laces fraying
Replace the leather laces with a new pair of the same length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic and function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding excessive water. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner specifically designed for nubuck or suede to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather to add a layer of protection against moisture and stains. Reapply as needed based on wear and environmental conditions.
