FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The leather upper provides some protection against light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I machine wash these boat shoes?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the vulcanized bond; please stick to damp cloth cleaning.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though leather may stretch slightly over time.
Is the sole non-marking?
The gum rubber outsole is designed for excellent traction and is generally safe for most surfaces, including boat decks.
Can I replace the rawhide laces?
Yes, the 2-eyelet design is compatible with most standard boat shoe replacement laces.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The leather upper provides some natural flex, but users with very wide feet may find the low-profile fit snug.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after heavy wear
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine.
Shoes feel tight across the top of the foot
Adjust the rawhide-style laces to provide more room, or wear the shoes for short intervals to allow the leather to naturally mold to your feet.
Outsole has picked up debris
Use a soft brush to remove pebbles or dirt from the grooves of the waffle pattern to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are low-top leather shoes, no special setup is required; however, you should ensure you are wearing socks that match your preference for the low-profile look, such as no-show liners. To care for your Vans 2-Eyelet Boat Shoes, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or light dirt. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from hardening or cracking.
