FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Jones Bootmaker Riptide series generally adheres to standard UK sizing conventions; if you are between sizes, it is recommended to consider your preference for a snug or slightly roomier fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, these are not waterproof. If they become soaked, air-dry them slowly away from radiators to prevent the leather from hardening.
What type of polish should I use?
Use a neutral or matching brown cream polish to maintain the color and provide a light protective barrier.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Riptide line has a standard fit. If you typically require wide-fitting shoes, you may want to test them for comfort or consult a professional cobbler for stretching.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning every 3-6 months is usually sufficient to keep the leather in excellent condition, depending on frequency of use.
Is the sole replaceable?
Yes, as these feature a durable construction, they can often be taken to a professional cobbler for re-soling once the original tread wears down.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
Wear them indoors for short periods with thick socks to gently stretch and break in the leather.
Leather surface appearing dull or dry
Apply a small amount of leather cream or conditioner using a clean, soft cloth and buff to restore the sheen.
Water spots or salt stains
Gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth, allow to air dry naturally away from heat, and then condition the area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Riptide shoes arrive ready to wear, there is no assembly required. However, it is advisable to wear them for short intervals initially to allow the leather to soften and contour to the shape of your feet. For long-term care, utilize a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to prevent cracking and keep the material supple. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust after each wear and store them away from direct heat sources. When not in use, employing cedar shoe trees will help maintain the shape of the leather and absorb excess moisture.
