FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The shoes feature a standard fit. While the lace-up closure allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
How do I clean the synthetic suede lining?
For the synthetic suede lining, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture. Ensure the lining dries completely before wearing.
What is the benefit of the OrthoLite® footbed?
The OrthoLite® footbed provides superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to long-lasting comfort and support.
Can these shoes be worn in saltwater or on a boat?
Yes, the siped rubber outsole is designed for excellent traction on wet surfaces, making them suitable for use on boats and around damp areas. However, rinsing with fresh water after saltwater exposure and allowing them to air dry is recommended.
What does 'responsible leather manufacturing' mean?
It refers to Timberland's commitment to sourcing leather from tanneries that are audited and rated for their environmental practices by the Leather Working Group (LWG).
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, away from direct sunlight or heat to preserve the leather and shape.
What is the heel height of these shoes?
The shoes have a flat heel height, consistent with a traditional boat shoe design.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Loosen the laces and wear them for a short period to allow the leather to mold to your foot. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate.
Reduced traction on surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. The siping may be less effective if the tread is worn down.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth, then apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Use a leather restorer for noticeable scuffs.
Discoloration from water exposure.
Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat. Minor water spots can sometimes be minimized by conditioning the leather once dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. The UK size 13.5 is specifically noted.
Care:
- Cleaning Leather: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the uppers supple and prevent cracking.
- Laces: Keep laces clean and replace if worn. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight for comfort.
