FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
The leather used is naturally water-resistant, offering protection against light moisture. However, they are not designed for prolonged submersion or heavy rain, and proper care with protector sprays can enhance this feature.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer, and consider that leather shoes may have a snug fit initially which will loosen slightly with wear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some water resistance, it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or very wet conditions to maintain their longevity and appearance. Ensure they are dried properly if they do get wet.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or whenever the leather appears dry. Frequency can depend on the climate and how often the shoes are worn.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of rubber, providing durability and traction for everyday use.
Can these be worn for formal occasions?
These are classic boat shoes, best suited for smart-casual or casual occasions rather than formal events.
Do they require a break-in period?
Most leather shoes benefit from a break-in period. These shoes may feel a bit stiff at first but should become more comfortable as the leather molds to your feet.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff.
Apply a good quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure you are not exposing the shoes to excessive heat.
Shoes are slightly damp after wear.
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
Scuff marks on the leather.
For minor scuffs, try a leather cleaner or a matching color polish. For deeper marks, professional leather repair might be necessary.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the rubber sole is clean. If wear is significant, consider consulting a cobbler for sole inspection or replacement.

- Protection: For enhanced water resistance and stain protection, consider applying a suitable leather protector spray, following the product's instructions.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Use shoe trees to help preserve their form.
