FAQs

What makes the rubber outsole provide good traction?

The outsole features siping, which are small cuts in the rubber that increase the surface area and create more edges to grip onto surfaces, especially wet ones.

Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?

These are classic boat shoes designed for casual wear. While they offer a refined look, they are not typically considered formal footwear.

How is the recycled content used in the shoe?

The ReBOTL™ fabric lining contains at least 50% recycled PET plastic, contributing to the shoe's construction while reducing environmental impact.

What is the benefit of the EVA footbed and midsole?

EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) is a foam material known for its lightweight, shock-absorbing, and cushioning properties, providing comfort throughout the day.

How should I care for the premium leather?

Clean with a damp cloth and use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically. Protect from excessive moisture and direct heat when drying.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the siped outsole offers some traction, these shoes are not waterproof and are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What does 'Leather Working Group certified' mean?

It signifies that the tanneries supplying the leather adhere to environmental best practices and sustainability standards set by the Leather Working Group.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing them around the house with appropriate socks to allow the leather to mold to your foot. If the issue persists, explore different sizes.

Leather shows scuffs or marks

For minor scuffs, try using a leather eraser or a slightly damp cloth. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service or use a leather cream matching the shoe's color.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

The siped outsole is designed for traction, but effectiveness can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider specialized footwear.

Discomfort during extended wear

Break in the shoes gradually. Ensure the EVA footbed is providing adequate support. If discomfort continues, consider using insoles designed for added cushioning or arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. No assembly or setup is required.

Compatibility: These boat shoes are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Leather Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner specifically designed for your type of leather to keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  3. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
