FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

These are standard width boat shoes. While leather can offer some give, they might not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet unless tried on for fit.

Can I wear these shoes in the water?

While designed with nautical heritage, they are primarily casual shoes. They can handle splashes or brief exposure to water, but prolonged submersion is not recommended. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.

How do I maintain the blue color of the leather?

Use a cleaner specifically for colored leather and follow up with a neutral or blue-tinted shoe polish or cream. Avoid harsh cleaners that can strip the color.

What is the expected lifespan of these boat shoes?

With proper care and regular maintenance, these boat shoes can last several years, depending on the frequency of wear and the environments they are used in.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these boat shoes are not waterproof. They are made of leather and are water-resistant to a degree, but not designed for heavy rain or submersion.

What other colors and sizes are available?

The Sperry Oakland series is available in various colors, including Brown, and a range of UK sizes. Please check the product listing for specific availability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Leather will stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially. Consider using a shoe stretcher or thicker socks for a few days.

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur with new leather or rubber soles. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or check for any loose stitching.

Leather shows signs of drying or cracking

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to excessive heat or prolonged dryness.

Outsole appears worn

Inspect the outsole for significant wear patterns. If the tread is significantly diminished, professional resoling might be an option, though this is typically cost-prohibitive for casual footwear.
