FAQs
What material is the Base London Stern shoe made of?
The upper is crafted from premium leather, the lining is also leather, and the sole is made from TR (Thermoplastic Rubber).
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Stern boat shoe has a standard fitting. If you have particularly wide feet, you may wish to try them on or consider alternative styles that offer a wider fit.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat sources.
What is the benefit of the Ortholite footbed?
The Ortholite footbed provides enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties for superior comfort throughout the day.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the TR sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the leather.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 5mm.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear.
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a leather conditioner or a neutral shoe polish according to the care instructions. This will restore moisture and shine to the leather.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The rubber sole offers grip, but like all footwear, can be slippery on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and dry for optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you try them on indoors on a carpeted surface to avoid marking the soles before confirming fit.
Compatibility: The Stern boat shoe is designed for men and pairs well with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. Consider the UK sizing when selecting your size, as indicated by the product specifications.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a neutral or color-matched polish as needed.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to help them retain their shape and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
