FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Sebago Docksides Portland Artisan OX are made from suede and are not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, they are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. Consider using a suede protector spray for added water resistance.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede cleaner or eraser can be used. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the fit like?
These shoes feature a regular fit (R), which is a classic fit designed to naturally adapt to the shape of the foot. They may feel snug initially but are designed to become more comfortable with wear.
Can I wear these in the water?
While the non-slip rubber sole is beneficial on boat decks, the suede upper is not ideal for direct or prolonged water exposure. They are best suited for dry or slightly damp conditions.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of 100% rubber, designed for non-slip performance and good grip on various surfaces.
Are these shoes unlined?
Yes, these moccasins feature an unlined construction for a lighter, fresher feel, making them particularly suitable for warmer weather.
How should I store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can prevent the leather from breathing.
Troubleshooting
Suede color appears uneven after cleaning.
Allow the suede to dry completely. Brush gently with a suede brush to restore the nap and even out the color. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser might be needed.
Reduced grip on the sole.
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt or debris. Ensure the sole is dry before use for optimal traction.
Shoes feel stiff or tight.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Thicker socks can also help stretch the suede slightly. Consider using a shoe stretcher if discomfort persists.
Water stains on suede.
Once dry, attempt to brush out the stain with a suede brush. For persistent stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for water marks, following the product instructions carefully.
