FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
These boat shoes are made of premium leather and offer some natural water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. For enhanced protection against moisture, we recommend applying a water and stain repellent specifically designed for leather footwear.
How do I clean the leather?
For general cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner following the product's instructions. Always condition the leather afterward to maintain its suppleness.
What is an EVA midsole?
EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate, a lightweight, flexible, and cushioning material commonly used in shoe midsoles. It provides excellent shock absorption and comfort, making your steps softer.
Can I wear these with socks?
While traditionally worn without socks, many people choose to wear no-show socks or thin athletic socks for added comfort and moisture wicking. It's entirely a matter of personal preference and style.
How do I maintain the grip of the outsole?
To maintain optimal grip, regularly clean the rubber outsole to remove any dirt, mud, or debris that might accumulate in the tread. Use a brush and water if necessary.
What's the best way to store these shoes?
Store your boat shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help them retain their shape and absorb moisture, preventing odors.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Allow for a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to help the leather conform to your foot shape. Applying a quality leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Leather appears dry, dull, or has minor scuffs.
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner or polish. For scuffs, gently rub with a dedicated leather eraser or a small amount of leather balm.
Shoes are slipping on wet surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. Regularly inspect the tread for excessive wear, which could reduce grip. For optimal traction, clean the outsoles with a brush and water.
