Timberland Classic Leather Boat Shoes - Brown - Low Shoes

These boat shoes are designed with a water-repellent feature for protection against splashes and light moisture. They are not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water.

The untanned leather laces run through eyelets around the shoe. Pull on the laces to tighten the fit around your foot and heel. The knot can be adjusted to maintain your preferred tightness.

This indicates that at least 50% of the leather used comes from a tannery that has been environmentally audited and certified by the Leather Working Group, assessing factors like energy use and waste management.

These are casual boat shoes, best suited for informal and relaxed settings. They pair well with casual attire like shorts, jeans, or chinos.

It is recommended to condition the leather every few months, or more frequently if the shoes are regularly exposed to dry conditions or water, to maintain their flexibility and appearance.

The Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, enhancing comfort for extended wear.

Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure regular conditioning.

The untanned leather laces may require some use to become more pliable. Gently work them to loosen. If needed, a small amount of leather conditioner can be applied sparingly to the laces.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive dirt or debris. If wear is significant, the outsole may need replacement by a professional cobbler.

Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat. Minor discoloration on natural leather can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking.
