FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Timberland Men’s USA Footwear Size Chart provided. US size 7 corresponds to EU/IT 40. Measure your foot length to find the best match.
Are these shoes suitable for boating?
Yes, the siped rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on wet surfaces, making them suitable for use on boat decks.
What is the purpose of the siped outsole?
Siping involves cutting small grooves into the rubber. This increases the number of biting edges, which helps to displace water and improve grip on wet surfaces.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use Timberland Boot Sauce™ Cleaner for general cleaning. For scuffs or to restore shine, use Max® Shoe Shine as needed.
What is the benefit of the OrthoLite® insole?
The OrthoLite® insole offers superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, contributing to long-lasting comfort.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the siped outsole offers good traction, the shoes are primarily made of leather and may not be fully waterproof. They offer protection against light moisture but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended without additional waterproofing treatment.
What does 'supporting Leather Working Group certified tanneries' mean?
It means that by purchasing these shoes, you are supporting tanneries that have demonstrated strong environmental stewardship in their operations, as assessed by the Leather Working Group.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Using a shoe stretcher can also help if specific areas feel too tight.
Traction seems reduced on very smooth surfaces
Ensure the siped outsole is clean and free from debris or mud. Occasionally, even well-designed outsoles may have limitations on extremely polished or wet surfaces.
Leather shows signs of drying or cracking
Apply a leather conditioner or the recommended Max® Shoe Shine regularly to keep the leather supple and prevent dryness. Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
