The Base London Stern boat shoe features premium leather uppers, a leather lining, and a TR (thermoplastic rubber) sole.
The shoes are described as having a standard fitting. It's recommended to refer to sizing charts and consider your typical shoe size. If you are between sizes or have wider feet, you may want to consider trying a size up.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Wearing them with socks that match your typical thickness can help stretch the leather comfortably.
While the leather is treated and the sole offers some grip, these are primarily casual shoes and not designed for heavy rain. It's advisable to use a waterproofing spray for leather and avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions to maintain the shoe's integrity and appearance.
The Ortholite footbed provides enhanced cushioning, moisture management, and breathability, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather supple and protected. Avoid direct heat or sunlight when drying.
The heel height is 5mm, offering a subtle lift.
The leather will naturally stretch and conform to your foot with wear. Try wearing them with medium-thickness socks for a few hours at a time. If discomfort persists after several wears, they may not be the correct fit for your foot shape.
This can sometimes occur if the insole or sole becomes slightly damp or if there's friction. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. You can try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or between the sole layers if accessible, though this is uncommon with this model.
For minor scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a colored shoe cream matching the brown shade to buff out the mark. For deeper scuffs, professional leather repair may be necessary.
While the rubber sole offers good traction, very smooth or wet surfaces can reduce grip. Ensure the sole is clean. For added grip, consider a professional shoe repairer to add a thin layer of non-slip material to the sole.

The Base London Stern boat shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. There is no assembly or setup required.
Compatibility:
These shoes are designed for adult males with standard-width feet. They pair well with a variety of casual and smart-casual attire, including trousers, chinos, jeans, and shorts. They are not recommended for formal events or athletic activities.
