FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Timberland Men's USA Footwear Size Chart. The shoe is generally true to size with a standard fit. A US size 7 corresponds to EU/IT 40.
Are these shoes suitable for water activities?
The siped rubber outsole offers good traction on wet surfaces, making them suitable for use around water. However, they are not waterproof and are best suited for casual wear rather than prolonged submersion.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the synthetic suede lining is designed for comfort against the skin, making them suitable for wear without socks during warmer weather.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to dry conditions or heavy use.
What does 'siped' outsole mean?
Siping refers to the small slits or grooves cut into the rubber. These create more edges that can grip surfaces, especially wet ones, improving overall traction.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The Portofino Pier series may be available in other colorways. Please check the product listing or Timberland's official website for available options.
What is the benefit of OrthoLite® insoles?
OrthoLite® insoles provide long-term cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to enhanced comfort and foot health.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Leather can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially. If still too tight after a break-in period, consider if the size is correct or consult a shoe repair specialist for stretching options.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or on any areas that seem to rub together. Ensure the laces are tied correctly.
Leather appears dry or dull
Condition the leather using a dedicated leather conditioner. Apply a small amount with a soft cloth and buff gently.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from dirt and debris. The siping on the outsole is designed for grip, but excessive wear or accumulated grime can reduce its effectiveness.
