FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
Due to the suede material, these shoes are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. They are not ideal for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet environments.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Timberland. These are men's UK sizes, and it's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
What is the benefit of the handsewn construction?
Handsewn construction is a traditional method that allows for greater flexibility in the shoe and is often associated with higher quality craftsmanship and durability.
How often should I clean the suede?
It's recommended to brush the suede after each wear to remove surface dirt. A deeper clean or treatment with a protector should be done periodically, depending on usage and environmental exposure.
What does 'supporting responsible manufacturing of leather' mean?
This means the leather used in the shoes comes from tanneries that are audited and rated by the Leather Working Group for their environmental practices, such as water usage and waste management.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, these boat shoes can be worn with or without socks, depending on personal preference and the weather. Thin, no-show socks are a popular choice for a clean look.
What is the return policy?
Please refer to the specific retailer's return policy for details on returning or exchanging the product.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or discolored

Leather components feel dry

Sole losing grip
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from debris. For significant wear, consider professional resoling if possible.
