FAQs

What type of fastener does the Hotter Marlin use?

The Hotter Marlin features a touch-fastening strap, commonly known as Velcro, for easy and adjustable closure.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the Marlin features an EXF fitting, which is designed to accommodate a wider foot shape, prioritizing comfort.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the leather is durable, these shoes are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to slightly damp conditions and are not recommended for heavy rain or wet surfaces.

What is the sole made of?

The sole of the Hotter Marlin is made of EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate), which provides lightweight cushioning and flexibility.

What is the lining material?

The lining is made of a sporty neoprene material, designed to enhance comfort and help manage moisture.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the touch-fastening strap for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider if the EXF fitting is suitable for your foot shape.

Leather shows signs of drying or cracking

Apply a suitable leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to excessive heat.

Slight odor inside the shoe

Allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area. You can also use an odor-absorbing insert or a light dusting of baking soda inside the shoe overnight (ensure it's removed before wearing).
