FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual sailing?
Yes, the non-marking and antislip sole is specifically designed to provide excellent traction on wet boat decks.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or Sebago's official sizing guide. Generally, UK sizes correspond directly to your standard foot measurement.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the leather insole is designed for comfort, making them suitable for wearing without socks, which is common for boat shoes.
How often should I condition the waxed leather?
Condition the leather every few months, or when it appears dry, to maintain its suppleness and water-repellent properties.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The waxed leather offers a degree of water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to perform well in wet conditions, but prolonged submersion is not recommended.
What is the main difference between the Portland and Portland Waxed models?
The Portland Waxed model features a specific waxed treatment on the leather for enhanced durability and water resistance, whereas the standard Portland might use a different leather finish.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. The hand-sewn construction will mold to your foot over time.
Slipping on very polished indoor floors
While designed for grip on wet surfaces, any rubber sole can be slippery on extremely polished indoor floors. Clean the soles regularly to remove any debris that might affect traction.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a wax-based leather conditioner specifically formulated for waxed leather. Follow the product instructions, applying sparingly and buffing gently.
Water spots on waxed leather
Light water spots can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more significant marks, allow the shoe to dry naturally and then apply a suitable leather conditioner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
These moccasins are ready to wear straight out of the box and require no assembly. They are compatible with most casual and nautical attire. To care for the waxed leather, wipe away dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Conditioning the waxed leather periodically with a quality leather conditioner designed for waxed surfaces will help maintain its suppleness and water resistance.
