FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wet conditions?
Yes, the non-slip rubber sole is designed to offer stable grip in all weathers, including wet conditions. The leather is also treated for saltwater resistance.
How often should I clean these boat shoes?
It is essential to clean them with clear water after each use in seawater. For general wear, wipe with a damp cloth as needed.
What is the 360° rawhide lace system for?
This system allows the lace to run around the entire shoe opening, providing a secure and customizable fit that can be tightened or loosened from all sides.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, many people wear boat shoes without socks for comfort and style, especially in warmer weather. The genuine leather lining can offer breathability.
How do I maintain the shine and softness of the leather?
The shoes are treated with oils and waxes for a natural shine and softness. Regular cleaning after saltwater use and occasional application of a suitable leather conditioner will help maintain these qualities.
What materials are these shoes made from?
They feature a 100% leather upper, 100% leather lining, and a 100% rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears stiff or white after seawater exposure
Rinse the shoes thoroughly with clean, fresh water immediately after each use in saltwater. Allow to air dry, and consider applying a leather conditioner designed for oiled wax leather once fully dry.
Soles feel slippery on very wet surfaces
While designed for grip, ensure the soles are clean. Accumulation of dirt or salt can reduce traction. Periodically scrub the soles gently with water and a brush.
Laces are difficult to adjust or tie
Ensure the rawhide laces are clean and not overly saturated with water or salt. If they become stiff, conditioning them with a leather conditioner can help restore flexibility.
