FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these are suede shoes and are not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to protect the material.

How do I break in my new Sebago shoes?

Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. The moccasin construction typically offers flexibility from the start.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, you can wear them with or without socks, depending on your preference and the weather. No-show socks are a popular option for a sockless look.

What is the difference between Portland Artisan and other Sebago series?

The Portland Artisan series often emphasizes classic craftsmanship and premium materials, offering a refined take on traditional Sebago styles like boat shoes and moccasins.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture. Avoid storing in direct sunlight.

Is the brown color consistent across all Portland Artisan Ox models?

While the 'Tobacco Brown' is specified, variations in natural materials like suede can lead to slight differences in shade. However, the general tone will be a rich brown.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to product instructions.

Shoes feel tight

As the shoes are a regular fit, consider if they are the correct size. Suede can stretch slightly with wear, but if immediately uncomfortable, they may not be the right fit.

Gum sole loses grip

Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. Small particles or excessive wear can reduce traction. Clean with a damp cloth.
