FAQs
What type of leather are these shoes made from?
These boat shoes are made from pull-up leather, known for its smooth finish and ability to develop a patina over time.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary. It is recommended to consult the Jones Bootmaker size guide or try them on in-store if possible to ensure the best fit for wide feet.
How should I clean the rubber sole?
The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is completely dry before wearing.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are primarily designed for dry, casual wear. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as it can damage the leather.
What does 'siped' mean for the sole?
Siping refers to the small slits cut into the rubber sole, which increase the number of edges that grip the surface, enhancing traction, especially on wet surfaces.
How do I maintain the color of the beige leather?
Use a leather conditioner specifically for pull-up leather. Avoid harsh cleaners and excessive moisture. Regular gentle cleaning with a damp cloth will help preserve the color.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Leather scuffs or scratches easily
Pull-up leather can show marks from scuffs, which is characteristic of its finish. These marks can often be rubbed out with a soft cloth or a finger. For deeper scratches, apply a small amount of leather conditioner to blend the mark.
Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces
While the siped sole offers good traction, any rubber sole can become less effective on very wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean and dry before walking on potentially slippery areas.

Care Instructions:

- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner specifically designed for pull-up leather to keep the material supple and prevent drying. Apply sparingly according to the product instructions.
