FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Docksides Portland Waxed shoes are designed for a standard fit. While the leather is supple and can mold to the foot over time, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or check customer reviews regarding fit for wider feet.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the shoes are made of leather, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a waterproofing spray designed for leather can offer some protection against light moisture.

How do I clean the waxed leather finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher dirt, a specialized leather cleaner for waxed leather is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

What is the best way to break in these shoes?

Wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Flexing the shoes gently with your hands can also aid the break-in process. Ensure the fit is correct before attempting to break them in.

Are these shoes true to size?

Sebago generally runs true to size, but fit can vary by individual foot shape. The description mentions a 'perfect fit', suggesting a snug but comfortable feel. It's always best to consult sizing charts and customer feedback if available.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of rubber, providing durability and traction.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces can be replaced. Standard boat shoe or leather laces of a similar length should be compatible.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially

Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Gentle flexing of the shoes can also help.

Water spots or discoloration on waxed leather

For light water spots, allow the shoe to dry naturally away from heat. For more persistent marks, consult a specialized leather cleaner for waxed finishes or a professional.

Slight squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between leather parts or the insole. A small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole might help. Ensure laces are not overtightened.
