FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
These shoes are made from premium leather and offer some water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for casual wear and light exposure to moisture, not prolonged submersion.
How do I break in my new boat shoes?
Wear them around the house for a few hours at a time. The leather will gradually soften and conform to the shape of your feet. You can also use a leather conditioner to speed up the process.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, boat shoes are traditionally designed to be worn without socks, offering breathability and comfort for sockless wear.
What is the 360° functional lacing system for?
This system allows you to adjust the lacing all the way around the shoe, providing a customizable and secure fit to match your foot's shape and width.
How do I clean the blue leather?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stains, a specialized leather cleaner for blue leather is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What does 'non-marking siped rubber soles' mean?
'Non-marking' means the soles won't leave scuffs or marks on indoor floors. 'Siped' refers to the small cuts in the rubber that increase grip, especially on wet surfaces.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While the 360° lacing system allows for some adjustment, these are generally a standard width. If you have significantly wide feet, trying them on in person or checking customer reviews regarding fit for wider feet is advised.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or stiff
This is common with new leather. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Soles are slippery on certain surfaces
While designed for traction, very smooth or polished surfaces might reduce grip. Ensure the siped soles are clean and free from debris.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather cleaner or conditioner appropriate for the blue leather finish.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with new ones of similar length and material. Ensure knots are not tied excessively tight, which can strain the laces.
