FAQs

What is the best way to clean the suede material?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. It's best to avoid water and use specialized suede cleaning products.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Sebago Portland Artisan Ox features a regular fit. If you have wide feet, they might feel snug. Trying them on or considering a half-size larger might be necessary.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the shoes are durable, suede is not ideal for very wet conditions. It's recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to protect them with a waterproofing spray.

How do I break in these boat shoes?

Wear them for short periods initially, perhaps around the house, with good quality socks. Gradually increase the duration of wear as the shoes begin to conform to your feet.

What type of socks should I wear with these?

They can be worn with or without socks. If wearing socks, opt for thin to medium-weight dress socks or no-show socks to maintain the smart-casual aesthetic.

What is the difference between the Portland Artisan and Portland Artisan Ox models?

The 'Ox' typically denotes a specific construction or slight design variation within the Portland Artisan line, often focusing on the toe construction or detailing, while maintaining the core aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or scuffed.

Use a suede brush to gently brush away dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be used. Always brush in the same direction to maintain the nap.

Shoes feel slightly tight.

Wear them with medium-thick socks for a few hours at a time to allow the leather to stretch slightly to your foot's shape. Avoid wearing them for extended periods initially if they cause discomfort.

Gum sole is losing grip.

Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. For persistent issues, consult a cobbler for possible sole re-treading if the wear is significant.
