FAQs
Can I use these shoes for hiking?
While they are very stable, they are specifically engineered for nautical decks. They may not provide the lateral support or outsole protection needed for rugged, rocky trails.
Are they waterproof?
They are designed to be quick-drying and breathable rather than fully waterproof, meaning they will allow water to drain and evaporate efficiently.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing for adults. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size for extra comfort during long days on the water.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is recommended to hand wash them using fresh water and a soft brush to preserve the materials and the integrity of the proprietary grip technology.
Will the soles mark the deck?
The materials used are designed for marine environments and are typically non-marking, ensuring your boat's finish remains clean.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, which aids in the cleaning and drying process after a long day at sea.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on deck
Clean the soles with a soft brush and fresh water to remove grit, salt, and debris trapped in the siping.
Persistent dampness
Remove the insole and stuff the shoe with dry paper towels to accelerate moisture absorption, then place in a well-ventilated area.
Odour buildup
Wash the removable insoles with mild soap and water, and allow the shoe to completely air dry between uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the specialized grip, rinse the shoes with fresh water after exposure to salt water to prevent salt crystal buildup. Air dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area rather than exposing them to direct sunlight or high-heat sources, which can degrade the rubber. Ensure you are using the correct UK sizing, as these are fitted for a standard athletic profile; if you intend to wear thick thermal socks, you may consider if your current fit allows for the additional volume.
