FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
No, these are classic boat shoes designed for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the support or protection required for hiking.
How do I know if I have the right size?
These shoes are listed in UK adult men's sizes. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult a size guide. The 360° lacing system allows for some adjustment once you have a snug fit.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the leather is treated, these shoes are not fully waterproof. They can handle light rain or spray, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.
What does 'certified tannery' mean?
It means that at least 50% of the leather used in the shoes comes from a tannery that has been evaluated and classified by the Leather Working Group based on its environmental performance.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and climate. Typically, conditioning every 3-6 months is sufficient for maintaining the leather's quality. More frequent conditioning may be needed in dry climates or with heavy use.
Will these shoes stretch over time?
Leather has natural properties that allow it to mold to the wearer's foot over time, providing a more personalized fit. The 3/4 length insole and EVA midsole also contribute to comfort.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming difficult to adjust
Ensure the laces are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of beeswax to the laces to help them glide more smoothly through the eyelets.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to moisturize the material. Follow product instructions carefully and allow it to absorb fully before wearing.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
While designed to be non-slip, effectiveness can vary. Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. For added grip on exceptionally smooth surfaces, consider an aftermarket grip enhancer, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Water marks appearing on leather
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, condition the leather thoroughly to restore its appearance. Regular conditioning helps prevent permanent marks.
