Timberland 2-Eye Lug Handsewn Boat Shoe - Brown - UK 8

The Timberland 2-Eye Lug Handsewn Boat Shoes are made of leather and are not designed to be fully waterproof. They offer good traction on wet surfaces due to the siped outsole, but prolonged exposure to water should be avoided to protect the leather.

Rawhide laces can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely. If they become stiff, a small amount of leather conditioner can help restore flexibility.

Yes, these boat shoes are designed for comfortable wear with or without socks, especially given their leather-lined interior. For optimal hygiene and to prevent odor, ensure they air out properly after sockless wear.

'Siped' refers to tiny, razor-cut grooves across the surface of the rubber outsole. These grooves channel water away, providing enhanced traction on wet or slippery surfaces, making them ideal for boat decks.

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions, but generally, conditioning every 1-3 months is a good practice. If the leather starts to look dry or feel stiff, it's time for conditioning.

Timberland boat shoes typically run true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. The 360° lacing system allows for some adjustment to achieve a custom fit. We recommend consulting Timberland's official size guide if you are unsure.

Utilize the 360° rawhide lacing system. Pull laces from the front eyelets towards the back to tighten, or loosen them evenly for a more relaxed fit.

While the siped rubber outsole offers good traction, regularly clean the outsole to prevent dirt or debris build-up from reducing grip. For extreme conditions, additional anti-slip treatment might be considered (though generally not needed for boat shoes).

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or moisturizer specifically designed for boat shoe leather. This will help restore moisture and suppleness.

Ensure shoes air out completely after each wear. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray. If worn sockless, occasional cleaning of the leather lining with a mild solution might be necessary.
