FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
These boat shoes are constructed with leather and are water-resistant to a degree, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed with a non-marking siped rubber outsole for traction on wet surfaces, but prolonged submersion is not recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to try these shoes on if possible, as boat shoe fit can vary. Ensure there is a snug fit without being too tight, and consider that leather will stretch slightly with wear.
Can I wear these in saltwater?
While the siped outsole offers good traction, prolonged exposure to saltwater is not ideal for the leather. Rinse with fresh water if they come into contact with saltwater and allow them to dry naturally.
What is the best way to clean the green leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for colored leather, and always test on a small, hidden area first.
Do these shoes require socks?
Many people prefer to wear boat shoes without socks for a classic look and feel, especially in warmer weather. However, you can wear them with thin, no-show socks if you prefer.
What does 'handsewn' mean in the description?
Handsewn construction refers to a traditional method where the upper part of the shoe is stitched to the sole by hand, often resulting in a more durable and flexible shoe with a higher quality finish.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency of conditioning depends on usage and climate. Generally, conditioning every 3-6 months is a good practice to maintain the leather's health and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure regular conditioning is part of your care routine.
Soles are slippery on very smooth surfaces
While designed for traction, extremely smooth surfaces can be challenging. Ensure the siping on the outsole is clear of debris. For enhanced grip, consider specialized sole grips if needed for specific activities.
Shoes feel a bit tight on first wear
Leather boat shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, and they should mold to your foot shape for a more comfortable fit.
Scuff marks on leather
For minor scuffs, try using a leather cleaner or a matching color shoe polish. For deeper marks, professional leather repair may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
These boat shoes require no specific setup upon purchase, as they are ready to wear. Their primary compatibility is with casual and smart-casual attire.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the product's instructions for application.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains, especially if you anticipate exposure to wet conditions.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box, to maintain their shape and protect the leather.
