FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Lockford Boat shoe features a slim profile. While it offers a secure fit, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them more comfortable in a wider fitting option if available, or may need to break them in extensively.
How do I clean the grey suede?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and refresh the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a suede cleaning kit is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the suede can be treated for water resistance, these shoes are best suited for dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the suede and affect the shoe's structure.
What is the heel height?
The Lockford Boat shoe has a flat heel, offering stability and comfort for all-day wear.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
These shoes can be worn with or without socks. If wearing socks, opt for no-show socks or thin dress socks that complement the smart-casual aesthetic.
How does the Contour Cushion footbed work?
The Contour Cushion footbed is designed with targeted support and cushioning to provide comfort throughout the day, adapting to the natural contours of your foot.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dry or scuffed.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore its texture. For deeper scuffs, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner may be effective.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to break in naturally. The Contour Cushion footbed will adapt to your foot shape over time.
Water spots on suede.
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Consider applying a waterproofing spray proactively.
