FAQs
What is nubuck leather?
Nubuck is a type of leather that has been buffed on the grain side to give it a velvety, suede-like texture. It is durable and offers a unique aesthetic.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the nubuck leather is not inherently waterproof. They are best suited for dry weather conditions and should be protected from heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
Try them on with the type of socks you would normally wear. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and that your heel does not slip. The lace-up design allows for adjustment.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, you can wear them with socks. For a classic boat shoe look, many prefer to wear them with no-show socks or thin cotton socks.
What is the best way to clean them?
Regular brushing with a suede brush is recommended. For stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and a damp cloth, but avoid soaking the shoes.
Do these shoes come in other colors?

What occasions are these shoes suitable for?

Troubleshooting
Nubuck material looks dull or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner according to product instructions.
Laces are frayed or worn.
Replace the laces with a similar length and material. You can find replacement laces at most shoe repair shops or online retailers.
Shoes feel too tight.
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before putting on the shoes. If the fit is consistently too tight, consider if this is the correct size or if a different width is needed.
