FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for boating?
While they are called 'boat shoes,' their primary design is for casual wear. The Vibram outsole provides good traction, but they are not specifically engineered for marine use or to prevent slipping on wet boat decks compared to specialized marine footwear.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The shoes are made of leather and can withstand light moisture. However, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as it can damage the leather. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the purpose of the 360° lacing system?
The functional 360° untanned leather lacing system allows you to adjust the tightness around the entire shoe for a secure and customized fit.
How do I determine my UK size?
Refer to standard UK sizing charts. The product information indicates UK sizes, and it's recommended to compare your foot measurement to the chart provided by Timberland or the retailer.
What material is the insole made of?
The shoe features a 3/4 length insole with a leather lining for enhanced comfort and a premium feel.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can prevent the leather from breathing.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It offers some resistance to light moisture, but for significant water exposure, additional waterproofing treatments are recommended.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness in new shoes
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or on the tongue where it meets the lacing.
Leather discoloration after getting wet
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, clean the affected area with a leather cleaner and apply a leather conditioner to restore the color and suppleness.
Laces becoming difficult to tighten
Ensure the laces are not tangled or frayed. If they are old, consider replacing them with new laces. Clean the eyelets if they appear to be obstructed.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for your type of leather.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product instructions for application.
- Water Protection: While durable, leather can be damaged by excessive moisture. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection, especially in wet conditions. Reapply as needed.
- Lacing: Periodically check the laces for wear and tear. Replace if frayed or damaged.
