FAQs
Do these boots run true to size?
Chatham suggests that these deck shoes can size a little large, particularly as they are often worn without socks. They recommend dropping down a size if you are unsure about your fit.
What is the primary benefit of the Sole Spring Poron cushioning?
The Sole Spring Poron cushioning provides anti-bacterial properties, offers maximum comfort, and delivers significant shock absorption, reducing foot fatigue.
Can I wear these boots in wet conditions?
Yes, the non-slip rubber sole is designed to provide secure footing on wet surfaces, making them suitable for use on boat decks or in damp environments.
How should I clean the nubuck and leather material?
Use a specialized nubuck cleaner and a soft brush for the nubuck parts. For the leather, a leather conditioner can help maintain its quality. Avoid soaking the boots.
Are these boots suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, their athletic-inspired design and comfortable cushioning make them suitable for casual everyday wear, especially during warmer months or for active weekends.
What is the main difference between these and regular boots?
These are specifically designed as deck shoes, prioritizing grip on wet surfaces and lightweight comfort for marine or casual outdoor activities, unlike heavier, rugged work boots.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too large
As per Chatham's recommendation, try a size smaller. If already purchased, consider using thicker socks or an insole for a snugger fit.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Clean with a leather conditioner or nubuck cleaner and apply a suitable polish or protector to restore appearance and prevent further damage.
Soles lose grip
Ensure the soles are clean from debris. If the grip significantly diminishes over time, it may indicate wear and tear, and replacement might be necessary.
