FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Portofino Pier Boat Shoe offers a standard fit. While the leather can stretch slightly over time, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them to be snug. It is advisable to check the specific width measurements if available or try them on if possible.

How do I best break in new boat shoes?

Wear them for a few hours at a time indoors. Gradually increase the duration of wear. Wearing them with socks can help the leather stretch and mold to your foot shape more comfortably.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, the leather uppers are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for light rain or dry conditions. For heavy downpours, consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather footwear.

What is the benefit of the OrthoLite® footbed?

The OrthoLite® footbed provides long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and helps manage moisture, contributing to overall foot comfort and reducing odor.

How often should I clean and condition the leather?

For optimal care, clean and condition the leather every few months, or more frequently if exposed to harsh conditions like excessive dirt, salt, or moisture.

What does 'siped' outsole mean?

A siped outsole has small, thin slits cut into the rubber. These slits help to displace water, improving grip on wet surfaces, similar to the sipes on car tires.

Are these shoes good for walking long distances?

The cushioned OrthoLite® footbed enhances comfort for walking, but these are primarily designed as casual boat shoes. For extensive long-distance walking, specialized walking or hiking shoes might offer more support and durability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to stretch and conform to your foot. You can also try wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur with new leather or sole materials. Try applying talcum powder under the insole or to the tongue area. If it persists, it may resolve with further wear.

Leather shows water spots

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and appearance.

Reduced traction on surfaces

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any dirt, oil, or debris that may be diminishing its grip.
