FAQs

What is 'pull-up leather'?

Pull-up leather is a type of aniline leather that has been infused with waxes and oils. When stretched or pulled, the color visibly lightens, giving it a unique, distressed appearance that develops character over time.

How do I determine my UK size?

Refer to the Jones Bootmaker sizing chart available on their website or in-store. Generally, UK sizes are smaller than US sizes. Measure your foot length to find the corresponding UK size.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The leather uppers are treated to offer some resistance, and a water-repellent spray can enhance this. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may cause water to penetrate.

Can I wear these shoes without socks?

Yes, boat shoes are traditionally designed to be worn sockless for comfort in warmer weather. The leather lining can help manage moisture.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you notice the leather becoming dry or stiff, especially after exposure to sun or water.

What is the origin of these shoes?

These Parsons Leather Boat Shoes are made in Portugal, a country known for its high-quality footwear manufacturing.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of rubber with siping (small cuts) to provide enhanced grip and traction, particularly on wet surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a quality leather conditioner suitable for pull-up leather to restore moisture and suppleness. Use regularly to prevent dryness.

Soles offer reduced grip on wet surfaces

Ensure the siped sole is clean and free from debris. While designed for traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip on any footwear. Dry off soles after use.

Shoes feel slightly tight initially

Leather boat shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Gentle stretching may also help.

Water spots or stains on leather

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, condition the leather to help restore its appearance. Pre-treating with a water repellent can help prevent future stains.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather uppers with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat.
  • Conditioning: To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent cracking, apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for pull-up leather every few months, or as needed.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to offer protection against minor spills and weather elements.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to maintain their shape and protect the leather.
