FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The 360° rawhide lacing system allows for some adjustment, but the fit is generally considered standard. Trying them on or checking detailed sizing charts is recommended.

How do I care for the waxed leather?

Use a dedicated waxed leather conditioner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

The waxed leather offers some water resistance, making them suitable for light rain. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged immersion in water should be avoided.

What is the best way to break in new Sebago Docksides?

Wear them for a few hours each day indoors to allow the leather to mold to your feet. Thicker socks can also aid in the stretching process.

Are the soles non-marking?

Yes, the rubber soles feature non-marking sipes, designed to provide grip without leaving marks on boat decks or indoor floors.

What is the primary material of the shoe?

The shoe is constructed from 100% high-quality leather for the upper and lining, with a 100% rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or tight

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Soles are slippery on certain surfaces

While designed for non-slip performance, some very smooth or wet surfaces may still pose a risk. Ensure the sipes on the sole are clean and free from debris.

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a suitable leather conditioner and polish specifically formulated for waxed leather. Follow product instructions carefully.

Laces fraying

Replace rawhide laces with new ones of similar material to maintain the authentic look and function.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. Designed for casual wear, boating, and everyday activities. Pairs well with shorts, chinos, and casual trousers.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and debris with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
  2. Conditioning: Regularly use a leather conditioner specifically designed for waxed or oiled leather to maintain suppleness and prevent drying. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
  3. Protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or direct heat, which can damage the leather. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag.
