Product Information
Full details
The Ariat Ladies Antigua Deck Shoe in Brown (Size 5) is designed for adult women seeking comfortable, stylish footwear for warm weather or casual wear. Its key benefit is the combination of buttery soft leather and a cushioned insole for all-day comfort, with a caveat that the unlined construction offers a true moccasin fit which may feel different to some users. This shoe features a traditional boat shoe silhouette with a hint of pink trim, true moc construction, an open cell cushioning insole, and a siped gum rubber outsole for excellent grip.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The true moc construction offers a flexible fit, but the unlined nature may mean they conform closely to the foot. It is recommended to try them on if possible to assess the fit for wider feet.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
The gum rubber outsole offers grip, but the leather is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions to protect the leather.
How do I clean the nubuck leather?
Use a soft, dry brush or cloth for general cleaning. For stains, a specialized nubuck cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully, followed by allowing them to air dry.
What is the benefit of the unlined interior?
The unlined interior contributes to a true moccasin feel, offering breathability and a natural fit that conforms closely to the foot.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
What kind of socks are best with these shoes?
Given the breathable and unlined nature, thin socks or no-show socks are often preferred to maintain comfort and allow the shoe's features to be best appreciated. However, personal preference dictates the best choice.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. Consider using a leather conditioner to soften the material.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
While the siped gum rubber outsole provides good grip, always exercise caution on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of debris.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a leather conditioner regularly to maintain the suppleness of the leather. Avoid exposing the shoes to prolonged heat or direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box, requiring no specific setup. They are designed for casual wear and pair well with a variety of outfits. To care for your leather deck shoes:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and debris with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid saturating the leather. A dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Conditioning: Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the nubuck leather soft and prevent it from drying out. Apply a small amount with a clean cloth and buff gently.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. This helps maintain their shape and prevent damage to the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect them from dust and scratches.
