FAQs
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
These shoes can be worn with no-show socks for a cleaner look, or thin dress socks. Thicker socks may affect comfort and fit.
How do I clean the grey suede material?
Use a soft bristle brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede material is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to use a suede protector spray to offer some resistance to water and stains.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not advisable to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as it can damage the material. Stick to dry weather conditions for optimal longevity.
What is the heel height?
The Lockford Boat shoes feature a flat heel.
What does 'moc toe' mean?
A moc toe refers to a type of shoe construction where the vamp (the upper part of the shoe covering the foot) is made from a separate piece of leather that is stitched to the sides of the shoe in a U-shape, creating a distinct seam across the top of the toe.
Troubleshooting
Suede scuffs or stains easily.
Apply a suede protector spray before wear and clean stains immediately with a suede eraser or cleaner. Brush regularly with a suede brush to maintain the nap.
Shoes feel slightly tight initially.
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially, or consider using shoe stretchers if needed.
Water spots appear on the suede.
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, brush with a suede brush to restore the texture. Applying a protector spray beforehand helps prevent this.
