FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While the EVA sole provides good cushioning for casual wear and daily movement, they are designed as casual moccasins and may not offer the same support as dedicated walking or athletic shoes.
Can I get these shoes wet?
It is best to avoid getting leather shoes wet. If they do get wet, dry them naturally away from heat sources.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a half size, you may want to try both the size above and below to see which fits your foot shape best.
What type of leather is used?
The Riptide series utilizes high-quality leather specifically treated for the woven design, balancing durability with flexibility.
Is the sole replaceable?
The EVA sole is bonded to the upper for a lightweight feel; it is not designed to be resoled by a cobbler in the traditional sense.
Are these appropriate for formal events?
The Riptide moccasins are best suited for smart-casual or business-casual attire rather than strictly formal occasions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight initially
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape after a few wears. Try wearing them for short periods indoors to break them in.
Scuff marks on the surface
Use a matching brown leather cream or polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the original luster.
Loss of internal cushioning
If the inner comfort diminishes over time, consider inserting a thin aftermarket insole to refresh the support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a slip-on shoe, there is no technical setup required; simply ensure you have selected your correct UK foot size for the best fit. To maintain the Riptide series shoes, wipe away dust with a soft, dry cloth after use. We recommend using a leather-specific conditioner periodically to keep the woven material supple and prevent cracking. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to preserve the leather and the integrity of the EVA sole. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight or radiators.
