FAQs
What type of leather is used for the Charmouth Lace?
The Charmouth Lace features a genuine leather upper, chosen for its durability and classic appearance.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The shoe uses a standard UK adult sizing. The leather laces allow for adjustability to achieve a secure and personalized fit.
Is this shoe suitable for wet weather?
While the TR outsole offers some grip, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or to use a waterproofing spray for added protection.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, these boat shoes are often designed to be worn with or without socks, depending on personal preference and the weather.
How often should I condition the leather?
It's generally recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions or appear dry.
What does 'TR outsole' mean?
TR stands for Thermoplastic Rubber. This material is used for the outsole to provide a balance of flexibility, durability, and lightweight comfort.
Does this model come in other colors?
Yes, the Charmouth Lace model is available in other colors, such as blue, which can be found under different product listings.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff on first wear
This is normal for new leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Laces become difficult to adjust
Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris. If the laces themselves are worn, consider replacing them with new leather laces for smoother adjustment.
Scuffs or marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try using a matching color shoe polish or a specialized leather eraser. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The TR outsole provides good traction, but very smooth or wet surfaces can still be challenging. Ensure the sole is clean. If persistent, consider a non-slip sole treatment from a shoe professional.
