FAQs
What type of leather is used in these shoes?
These shoes are crafted from Premium Timberland® leather, known for its durability and quality.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather offers some resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a waterproofing spray for added protection.
How do I clean the leather of my boat shoes?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner are recommended. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What does 'handsewn' construction mean for the shoe?
Handsewn construction refers to the stitching method where the upper is sewn directly to the sole by hand. This process is often associated with high-quality footwear and contributes to flexibility and durability.
What is the 'Road Trip' series known for?
The Road Trip series by Timberland often draws inspiration from classic styles and robust craftsmanship, offering a blend of heritage design and modern comfort.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
These shoes are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles is not recommended as it can damage the leather and affect comfort.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the size chart and try them on with the type of socks you would typically wear. Ensure there is a comfortable fit without excessive pressure points.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to gradually break them in. Wearing them with socks can also help.
Leather shows water spots or stains.
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources. For persistent stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Consider applying a waterproofing treatment.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied.
Ensure the rawhide laces are dry. If they are excessively worn, consider replacing them with new rawhide laces for better grip.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides traction, but some surfaces can be inherently slick. Ensure the soles are clean. If the issue persists after significant wear, the tread may be worn down.
