FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the premium leather offers some natural resistance to light splashes and mist, the Sailview Lace shoes are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged. It's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water to protect the leather.
How do I determine my size, especially with the 'standard fit'?
The Sailview Lace comes in a standard fit, designed for average foot widths. If you typically wear a standard width shoe, order your usual size. For individuals with wider feet, it is recommended to check for available wide-fit variants of the Sailview Lace, if applicable.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, many individuals prefer to wear boat shoes sockless for a classic casual look. For enhanced comfort and hygiene, especially in warmer weather, consider wearing no-show socks specifically designed for boat shoes.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency of conditioning depends on how often you wear the shoes and the climate you live in. As a general guideline, conditioning the leather every 3-6 months is recommended to keep it supple, prevent cracking, and maintain its appearance.
What kind of laces do these shoes use, and can they be replaced?
The Sailview Lace typically features durable rawhide or similar-style laces, which contribute to its authentic nautical look. Yes, these laces can be replaced. You can often find suitable replacements at shoe repair shops, specialty footwear retailers, or online.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the leather to naturally break in and mold to the shape of your feet. Using thin, comfortable socks can also help during this period.
Leather appears dry, dull, or has minor scuffs.
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth to remove any surface dirt. Then, apply a small amount of quality leather conditioner or polish, specifically designed for your shoe's color, using a soft cloth. Buff gently for a restored look.
Shoes squeak when walking.
Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Ensure the insole is properly seated and not shifting.
Foot odor develops.
Air your shoes out after each wear by placing them in a well-ventilated area. Use shoe deodorizers or insert cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain freshness. Wearing moisture-wicking socks can also help prevent odor buildup.

Care
For leather, clean regularly with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Periodically, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and maintain its rich appearance. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme moisture. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature; do not use direct heat sources like heaters or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
