FAQs
What type of leather is used in these shoes?
The shoes are made from sustainable split cowhide leather, which offers a distinct texture and requires specific care.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes are not waterproof. The leather and jute midsole can be damaged by excessive moisture.
How should I clean the jute rope midsole?
The jute midsole should be kept dry. If it gets dirty, gently brush it with a soft, dry brush. Avoid using water.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these shoes in wet weather as the leather and jute components are not designed for moisture and can be damaged.
What is the difference between a deck shoe and an espadrille?
Deck shoes typically have rubber soles and are designed for boating, while espadrilles traditionally have canvas uppers and a jute rope sole. These shoes blend elements of both.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Adjust the rope laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. The shoes should feel secure without being too tight.
What occasions are these shoes suitable for?
They are ideal for casual occasions such as daily wear, weekend outings, and informal social gatherings. Their design offers a stylish yet relaxed look.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear
This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially, and they will soften with use. Applying a leather conditioner can also help.
Laces keep coming undone
Ensure you are using a secure knot. If the rope laces are slippery, consider double-knotting them or replacing them with conventional laces if preferred.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs on split leather, a suede brush can often lift the nap and disguise the mark. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional leather repair service or a specialist shoe care product.
Jute midsole getting wet
Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the jute. If wet, gently pat dry and let air dry.

Care Instructions:
