FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to apply a leather protector spray to offer a basic shield against light moisture.
Can I replace the insoles?
The Riptide shoes are designed with a standard insole; while they may be removable in some pairs, it is best to consult with a professional cobbler if you require custom orthotics.
How should I clean the woven leather?
Use a dry cloth to dust off surface debris. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth, moving in gentle circular motions.
Is the EVA sole slippery on wet surfaces?
EVA is generally stable, but like any foam-based sole, it can be slick on smooth, wet surfaces like tile or marble. Use caution in rainy conditions.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The Riptide follows standard UK sizing. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the toe and that the heel does not slip excessively when walking.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff after storage
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to soften the fibers and wear them for a short walk to improve flexibility.
EVA sole picking up debris
Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to remove dirt from the textured sole patterns to maintain grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Riptide shoes, proper maintenance is essential. Upon first use, ensure the size 6 fit is comfortable by wearing them indoors for a short period to allow the leather to slightly soften. For care, use a high-quality leather cream or conditioner every few weeks to keep the woven material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; if they become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to become brittle.
