FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Ariat Antigua Deck Shoes are made from leather and nubuck and are not designed to be waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but should not be submerged or worn in heavy rain.
How do I clean the nubuck leather?
Use a specialized nubuck brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a damp cloth with minimal water and a very mild soap can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the main benefit of the open-cell cushioning insole?
The open-cell cushioning insole provides enhanced comfort and breathability, helping to absorb shock and keep your feet comfortable throughout the day.
Can I wear these shoes for walking long distances?
These shoes are designed for comfort and are suitable for moderate walking and everyday activities. For extensive hiking or long-distance walking on uneven terrain, specialized walking or hiking footwear might be more appropriate.
What does 'True Moc Construction' mean?
True moc construction means the leather upper is wrapped around the foot and stitched together, creating a soft, flexible, and glove-like fit that conforms to your foot's shape.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider your typical shoe size. These shoes are designed for a standard fit, and the true moc construction allows for some natural give.
Are these shoes suitable for summer wear?
Yes, the unlined interior and breathable leather make them an excellent choice for warmer weather and summer months.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Soles seem slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. While designed for traction, effectiveness can vary on highly polished or wet surfaces. The siped design helps channel water away, but caution is still advised on extremely slick conditions.
Discoloration on light-colored socks
Though less common with quality leather, some dye transfer can occur initially, especially if the shoes get wet. This should diminish with wear. Ensure the insides are dry before prolonged contact with light socks.
