FAQs
What type of leather are the Ariat Antigua shoes made from?
The Ariat Antigua shoes are crafted with excellent quality leather and soft nubuck uppers.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The shoes feature a traditional boat shoe fit. While they are made of soft leather that can stretch slightly, they are not specifically designed for wide feet. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
How do I clean the walnut-colored leather and nubuck?
Wipe leather with a dry cloth and use a damp cloth for marks, allowing to air dry. For nubuck, use a suede brush and specialized nubuck cleaners. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the soft interior and cushioned insole are designed for comfort, making them suitable for wearing without socks, especially in warmer weather.
What is the primary benefit of the siped gum rubber outsole?
The siped outsole is designed to provide enhanced traction, particularly on wet surfaces, which is beneficial for stability and safety.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are made of leather and nubuck, which offer some water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. It is advisable to treat them with a waterproofing spray for better protection against moisture.
What makes the 'true moc construction' beneficial?
True moc construction wraps the leather around the foot, providing a flexible and comfortable fit that feels similar to an authentic moccasin.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or tight on first wear.
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the leather to mold to your feet. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Soles feel slippery on very smooth surfaces.
While the siped outsole provides good traction, extremely polished or wet smooth surfaces can still pose a slip risk. Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For additional grip on specific surfaces, consider after-market sole grips.
Leather or nubuck shows water spots.
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap of the nubuck and a leather conditioner for the leather parts. Applying a waterproofing spray designed for leather and suede before wear can also help prevent water damage.
Insole feels insufficient for prolonged standing.
While the open cell insole offers comfort, some users may prefer additional cushioning. Consider purchasing supportive insoles or orthotic inserts that can be placed inside the shoe for enhanced comfort.

Cons
- May not offer a secure fit for highly active or athletic pursuits due to the slip-on design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Ariat Antigua Deck Shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. There is no assembly or setup required.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for women and are best suited for casual wear. They pair well with jeans, shorts, casual skirts, and dresses. Their slip-on nature makes them compatible with various sock preferences (or no socks).
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather and nubuck uppers with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to the leather portions to keep them supple and prevent drying or cracking. Use a nubuck cleaner and brush for the nubuck sections as needed.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.
