FAQs
What type of trousers are best suited for the Lockford Boat shoe?

How should I clean the grey suede upper?
Use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or professional suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
Is the Contour Cushion footbed removable?
The Contour Cushion footbed is integrated for optimal comfort and support. While not designed for easy removal, it provides excellent cushioning for all-day wear.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
While the suede can be treated for water resistance, it is generally best to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material.
What is the heel height of the Lockford Boat shoe?

What occasions are these shoes appropriate for?

Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be helpful. Consider a suede protector spray for prevention.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Suede shoes can sometimes stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Laces are difficult to keep tied.
Try a double knot or a different lacing technique that provides more security. Ensure the laces are not excessively worn.
