FAQs
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the fabric lining is specifically included to provide comfort if you choose to wear them without socks.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning kit.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
Suede is naturally absorbent. We recommend applying a high-quality water repellent spray before the first use.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
What should I do if the shoes get soaked?
Stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape while air drying in a well-ventilated room.
Troubleshooting
Water spots on suede surface
Allow the shoes to dry completely, then use a suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material and restore its appearance.
Shoes feeling too tight
Loosen the laces to relieve pressure; if they remain tight, consider using a shoe stretcher to provide additional room.
Loss of traction
Check the soles for debris lodged in the grooves and clean with a damp brush to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Threadbare Boat Shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them around the house for short periods initially to allow the suede to adapt to your foot shape.
- Compatibility: These shoes pair best with chino shorts, linen trousers, or light-wash denim for a classic nautical-inspired look.
- Care Instructions: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove surface dust. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can cause the suede to harden or shrink. Apply a suede-specific water repellent spray to protect against light rain and spills.
