Timberland Sailor Shoes - Green - UK 7

While featuring a rubber lug sole that provides good grip, these are primarily a lifestyle shoe. For serious boating, ensure the sole is clean and consider specific boat shoes designed for extreme wet conditions.

We recommend conditioning the premium leather construction every 1-3 months, depending on how frequently you wear the shoes and the environmental conditions they are exposed to. Dry climates or frequent wear may require more frequent conditioning.

For routine cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for colored leather. Always test any cleaner on a small, hidden area first.

Timberland shoes generally fit true to size. Since these are UK size 7, most customers find their standard size appropriate. However, personal fit preferences may vary, and a short break-in period is common for leather footwear.

The premium leather construction is not inherently waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, heavy rain is not recommended without applying a quality water and stain repellent specifically for leather. Always dry them properly if they get wet.

A rubber lug sole features deep indentations or 'lugs' on the outsole, which are designed to provide enhanced traction and grip on various surfaces, offering better stability and slip resistance than a smooth sole.

Clean the area with a soft, damp cloth. Once dry, apply a quality leather conditioner or a leather balm matching the desert sage green color to moisturize and buff out minor imperfections.

Ensure the rubber lug sole is clean of any debris, mud, or oil that might reduce traction. If the lugs are significantly worn down, consider consulting a cobbler for re-soling.

Adjust the front lace-up fastening. Experiment with different lacing patterns if needed to achieve a more custom and comfortable fit. Remember that leather can stretch slightly over time.

Allow your shoes to air out completely after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sachets of baking soda placed inside overnight to absorb moisture and odors.

For light stains, gently dab with a damp cloth. For oil-based or tougher stains, use a specialized leather stain remover designed for colored leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
