FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Portofino Pier Boat Shoe offers a standard fit. While the lace-up closure allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them less comfortable than shoes specifically designed for wider widths. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I wear these shoes in the water?
These boat shoes are designed to provide good traction on wet surfaces, making them suitable for use around water. However, they are not designed to be fully waterproof or for prolonged submersion. Allow them to dry naturally if they get wet.
How do I clean the synthetic suede lining?
For the synthetic suede lining, use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away any marks. Avoid over-wetting the material. Allow it to air dry completely.
What is the benefit of the siped rubber outsole?
Siping refers to the fine slits cut into the rubber. These slits increase the number of edges that make contact with the surface, significantly improving grip and traction, especially on wet surfaces like boat decks or slick pavements.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency of conditioning depends on your usage and environment. In dry climates or with frequent wear, conditioning every 2-3 months is recommended. In more humid conditions or with less wear, every 6 months might suffice. Always observe the leather's condition.
What does 'Leather Working Group certified' mean?
It means that the leather used in these shoes comes from tanneries that have been audited and certified by the Leather Working Group for their environmental practices and commitment to sustainability in leather production.
Can I replace the OrthoLite® sockliner?
Yes, the OrthoLite® sockliner is designed to be removable, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics or new insoles if desired.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The leather will soften and conform to your foot.
Slipping on certain surfaces.
While the siped outsole offers good traction, extremely polished or wet surfaces can still pose a risk. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For increased grip on specific surfaces, consider after-market sole grips if necessary.
Leather shows signs of drying or cracking.
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. This will help restore moisture to the leather and prevent further damage.
Laces become worn or frayed.
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic and functionality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure the laces are comfortably adjusted for your first wear.
Compatibility: Ideal for men's casual attire. They complement a range of outfits from shorts and t-shirts to casual trousers and button-down shirts.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains on leather, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a gentle wipe-down.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow product instructions carefully.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproof spray suitable for leather to offer additional protection against moisture and stains.
