FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
These boat shoes are designed for traction on wet surfaces but are not fully waterproof. They offer resistance to splashes but are not suitable for submersion in water.
How do I know if I have the right size?
We recommend trying them on if possible. Generally, boat shoes should fit snugly without being too tight, as the leather will relax slightly with wear. Refer to the size guide for measurements.
Can I wear these for hiking?
While the outsole provides good traction, these shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and boat decks. They may not offer sufficient support or protection for strenuous hiking activities.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few months, or more often if you frequently expose the shoes to dry conditions or water.
What does 'Leather Working Group certified' mean?
It means that the leather used in these shoes comes from tanneries that have undergone audits and meet environmental standards set by the Leather Working Group, promoting responsible leather production.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, lining, and sole construction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Leather will stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure you have the correct size; consult sizing charts if unsure.
Soles lose traction over time
Clean the outsole grooves to remove any embedded debris that might be affecting grip. If the siping is significantly worn down, traction may be reduced.
Leather shows water spots or stains
Clean the affected area immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a recommended leather cleaner. Condition the leather afterward.
