FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes are crafted from premium leather and feature a durable rubber outsole, offering some resistance to the elements. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in water penetration. For enhanced protection, consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather.

How do I choose the right size?

These shoes are designed for adult men. It is recommended to try them on if possible. Refer to sizing charts and consider your usual shoe size. Based on product information, this guide is for UK size 8.5.

Can I wear these for hiking?

While the Vibram® outsole provides excellent traction, these boat shoes are designed primarily for casual and everyday wear. They are not intended for strenuous hiking or rugged terrain.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency of conditioning depends on usage and environmental conditions. Generally, conditioning every 3-6 months is recommended, or whenever the leather appears dry.

What is the main advantage of the Vibram® outsole?

The Vibram® rubber outsole is renowned for its superior durability, excellent grip, and performance across various terrains, ensuring longevity and reliable traction.

Is the lacing system purely decorative?

No, the functional 360° untanned leather lacing system is designed to be adjusted, allowing you to customize the fit for greater comfort and security.

What does 'hand-stitched craftsmanship' mean for the shoe?

Hand-stitched craftsmanship refers to the traditional method of assembling the shoe by hand. This technique is associated with higher quality, attention to detail, and a more authentic, durable product.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with high-quality leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Walking around indoors can help break them in more effectively.

Leather appears dry or dull.

Apply a suitable leather conditioner. Ensure the cleaner used previously did not strip natural oils from the leather. Regular conditioning is key.

Soles show signs of wear.

The Vibram® rubber outsole is durable, but regular use will lead to wear. For significant wear, consult a cobbler about potential sole repair or replacement options.

Laces are difficult to adjust.

Ensure the laces are not frayed or damaged. If they are stiff, a small amount of leather conditioner or wax applied to the laces (avoiding the eyelets) might help. Check that the eyelets are clear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains on the leather, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the uppers supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is especially important if exposed to dry or harsh conditions.
  3. Water Protection: While leather offers some natural resistance, consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to provide an extra layer of protection against the elements. Reapply as needed.
  4. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
