FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, you should never put suede shoes in a washing machine, as it will ruin the material and the structural adhesive.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
While they are traditionally worn without socks, you may choose to wear no-show socks for added hygiene and comfort.
Are the soles truly non-marking?
Yes, the rubber compound is specifically designed to provide grip without leaving scuff marks on boat decks or indoor flooring.
Can I wear these in the rain?
Light rain is usually fine if the shoes have been treated with a water repellent, but heavy soaking should be avoided to prevent suede damage.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
The Sebago Portland fits true to size, but since they are made of suede, it is best to choose a size that feels snug but comfortable from the start.
Is the leather durable for long-term use?
When properly cared for and cleaned regularly, the premium materials are designed for long-term daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming loose over time
Re-tie the 360-degree rawhide system, ensuring the tension is balanced around the heel, and consider using a double-knot.
Visible water spots on suede
Let the shoe dry completely away from direct heat, then gently brush the surface with a suede brush to restore the nap.
Tight fit in the arch
Loosen the rawhide lacing entirely to allow for more volume, then tighten gradually once the shoe is on your foot.

- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser, avoiding water or harsh chemicals that can cause discoloration.
