FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Sailview Lace features a non-slip outsole for traction in wet conditions, but the nubuck upper is not inherently waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray for added protection.
How do I adjust the laces for the best fit?
Loosen the laces to slip your foot in, then pull the laces evenly to tighten them until the shoe feels snug but not constricting. Tie securely.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, these shoes are designed for comfortable wear with or without socks, especially in warmer weather.
What is the best way to clean the nubuck upper?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on a small area first and allow to air dry.
Are these suitable for hiking or sports?
No, the Sailview Lace is designed for casual wear and light activity. It is not intended for rigorous sports or hiking.
What does 'lamella outsole' mean?
A lamella outsole features small, blade-like grooves designed to channel water away and increase surface contact for improved grip, especially on wet surfaces.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The Sailview Lace series is available in various colors, including blue and taupe, in addition to this light brown nubuck option.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the laces to loosen the fit. If still uncomfortable, wear them for short periods to allow the suede to break in, or consider if the size is appropriate.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush for general dirt. For specific stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Allow to dry completely before wearing.
Lack of traction on very smooth surfaces
While designed for wet conditions, extremely polished or worn surfaces may reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is free of debris.
