FAQs

What is the best way to clean these suede shoes?

Gently brush off dirt with a suede brush. For tougher marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly and follow the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid washing with water.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as they can be easily stained and damaged by water. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some protection, but it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with acid-free paper can help maintain their shape. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these boat shoes?

No-show socks or thin, breathable socks are generally recommended to maintain the clean aesthetic of boat shoes. Cotton or bamboo blends work well for comfort.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, they are suitable for everyday wear in smart-casual environments. However, given the premium suede material, consider rotating them with other footwear to preserve their condition, especially in demanding conditions.

What does 'slip-on with adjustable two-eyelet front lace-up fastening' mean?

It means the shoe has the ease of a slip-on style, but also features laces through two eyelets at the front, allowing you to adjust the snugness and fit for greater comfort and security.

How do I determine my correct UK size for these shoes?

The product description specifies that the shoe corresponds to a UK 9 size. It is recommended to check PRADA CALZATURE's general sizing guide or compare with shoes you already own in a UK size to ensure the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Suede color appears faded or dull.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and color. A suede-specific cleaner or conditioner may also help revive the color, following product instructions.

Stains on the suede.

Address stains immediately. For dry stains, try brushing them off. For wet or greasy stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning guide or professional cleaner, as improper treatment can worsen the stain.

Laces becoming worn or dirty.

Gently clean laces with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. If they are significantly damaged, they can be replaced with similar quality leather or waxed cotton laces.

Sole feels slippery.

Ensure the rubber sole is clean. If the slipperiness persists, consider a professional shoe repair to check the sole's condition or apply a grip-enhancing treatment if appropriate.
