FAQs

How do I clean the leather on these boat shoes?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather, following the manufacturer's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.

What is the purpose of the siped rubber outsole?

The siping (small cuts) on the rubber outsole increases the surface area and creates channels for water to escape, providing enhanced grip and reducing the risk of slipping, particularly on wet surfaces.

Can I wear these shoes without socks?

Yes, these boat shoes are designed to be comfortable for wear with or without socks. The leather lining adds to the comfort when worn sockless.

How do I adjust the 360° rawhide lacing system?

The laces run through eyelets around the collar of the shoe. You can pull them tighter or loosen them to achieve a snug, customized fit around your ankle.

Are these shoes waterproof?

These shoes are constructed from leather and are not designed to be waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they should not be submerged in water. Protect them from heavy rain.

What does it mean that components use 'at least 50% leather tanned in a facility rated Silver or higher by the Leather Working Group'?

This signifies that Timberland prioritizes environmental responsibility. A significant portion of the leather used in these shoes comes from tanneries that have been independently audited and rated for their environmental practices, including energy use, waste production, and water treatment.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight. Avoid storing in damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels tight or stiff initially

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot shape. Consider using a leather conditioner to soften the material.

Soles are slippery on wet surfaces

While the siped rubber outsole offers good traction, extremely wet or polished surfaces can still be less grippy. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the soles are clean of any debris that might impair grip.

Leather shows signs of drying or cracking

This indicates the leather needs conditioning. Apply a quality leather conditioner regularly, especially after exposure to dry conditions or water. Ensure the product is suitable for full-grain leather.
