The Jack & Jones Brooklyn boat shoes are designed with a standard fit. If you have wider feet, it is recommended to try them on in person or consult size guides carefully. Some users find leather shoes stretch slightly over time.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The leather is naturally water-resistant, making them suitable for light rain or damp conditions. However, they are not waterproof and should not be submerged in water or worn in heavy downpours for extended periods.
How often should I condition the leather?
It's recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, depending on the climate and how often you wear the shoes. More frequent conditioning may be necessary in dry environments.
What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?
With proper care and maintenance, the durable leather and construction of these boat shoes can allow them to last for several years.
Can these boat shoes be worn with socks?
Yes, these boat shoes can be worn with or without socks, depending on your preference and the weather. Thin socks or no-show socks are often preferred for a cleaner aesthetic.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear.
Leather can be stiff initially. Wear them around the house for short periods to gently break them in. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Apply a quality leather conditioner generously to moisturize the leather. Ensure the shoes are clean before applying conditioner.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace the laces with new ones. Consider using waxed laces for increased durability.
Soles show signs of wear.
Inspect the sole's condition regularly. For minor wear, a cobbler might be able to reinforce or repair them. Significant wear may require professional resoling.
