FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Sebago Portland Artisan OX features a 'Regular fit (R)', which is a classic cut designed to follow the natural shape of the foot. They may not be ideal for very wide feet without trying them on first.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the rubber sole offers good grip, the suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Consider applying a water-repellent spray for added protection against light moisture.
How do I clean the rubber sole?
The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What is the difference between the 'Docksides' and 'Portland Artisan' series?
The 'Docksides' often refers to the overall line of boat shoes, while 'Portland Artisan' specifies a particular model within that line, characterized by its artisan craftsmanship like the hand-sewn apron. This specific model is part of the Docksides range, featuring Portland Artisan details.
How should I store my suede Docksides when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box or a dust bag is also recommended.
Will the unlined construction make my feet cold?
The unlined construction is primarily designed for breathability and a lighter feel, making them ideal for warmer weather. In colder conditions, they may not provide significant insulation.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or discolored.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. If discolored, consider a suede cleaner or dye, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive moisture.
Soles losing grip.
Clean the rubber soles with mild soap and water to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Ensure they are completely dry before use.
Slight tightness or discomfort on first wear.
Suede will naturally stretch and mold to your foot. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. If persistent, consider using shoe stretchers.
Water stains on suede.
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to lift the nap. Applying a suede protector before wear can help prevent future stains.
