Timberland Lake House 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe - Purple - Size: 8.5

The shoes are made from Premium Timberland® leather, known for its durability and quality.

Clean dry dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for stains, then air dry. Periodically condition the leather to maintain its suppleness.

While they have a rubber outsole for traction, they are primarily casual leather shoes. It's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water. Consider using a waterproofing spray for added protection.

The 360° functional lacing system allows you to adjust the laces around the entire shoe, providing a more customized and secure fit to your foot.

These shoes are designed for casual wear and comfort. While they offer good grip for everyday activities, they may not provide the necessary support or cushioning for extensive hiking or long-distance walking.

By purchasing this product, you are supporting responsible manufacturing of leather through the Leather Working Group, an organization that promotes environmental best practices in leather production.

Wear them for short periods initially, perhaps with thicker socks, to allow the leather to stretch and conform to the shape of your feet. Gradually increase the duration of wear.

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the leather to mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the initial break-in period. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size.

Apply a quality leather conditioner following the product's instructions. This will help restore moisture and flexibility to the leather.

For light scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For more visible marks, use a leather cleaner or a colored shoe polish that matches the shoe's purple hue.

This can sometimes happen due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole, or check if the laces are rubbing against the eyelets.
