FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While they feature a siped outsole for better traction on wet surfaces, they are made of leather and are not classified as waterproof.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the synthetic suede lining is designed to be comfortable against bare skin.
What is the benefit of the Leather Working Group certification?
It ensures the leather is sourced from tanneries that adhere to rigorous environmental and social best practices.
How do I choose the right size?
These shoes generally follow standard UK sizing; however, since they are leather, they will stretch slightly to accommodate your foot shape.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing will likely damage the leather and the structure of the shoe. Always clean by hand.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff after getting wet
Allow the shoes to dry naturally, then apply a quality leather conditioner to restore suppleness.
Slippage on very smooth surfaces
Ensure the tread is free of debris or dried mud that may be blocking the siping channels.
Insole starts to feel worn
Since the footbeds are removable, you can replace them with third-party inserts if you require additional support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Portofino Pier shoes maintain their appearance, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a dry soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris.
- Leather Protection: Apply a leather-safe conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading.
- Compatibility: These shoes are best paired with casual wear. Avoid heavy soaps or industrial detergents, as these can strip the natural oils from the leather. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally; do not place them near heaters, as extreme heat can warp the leather and ruin the adhesive bonds.
