FAQs

What type of socks are best with these shoes?

No-show socks or thin dress socks are generally recommended to maintain the clean, casual aesthetic of boat shoes.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Cleyhill Boat shoes are made of suede and are not inherently waterproof. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is advisable to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the material.

How do I break in new suede shoes?

Wear them for short periods initially with appropriate socks. Suede shoes typically soften and mold to your feet relatively quickly.

What does 'XL Extralight® sole' mean?

XL Extralight® is a material used to create soles that are exceptionally lightweight, flexible, and durable, contributing to overall comfort.

What is the inspiration behind the Cleyhill Boat shoe?

The design is inspired by the Clarks Fastnet shoe, an archival model from the 1970s, giving it a vintage yet modern appeal.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring to let the shoes air dry completely.

Shoes feel slightly tight.

Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them with thin socks around the house for a short period to allow them to conform to your foot. If they remain uncomfortably tight, consider if the size is appropriate.

Water marks on suede.

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, try brushing gently with a suede brush. Applying a suede protector spray regularly can help prevent future water marks.
