FAQs

What type of socks are best with these shoes?

Ankle socks or no-show socks are recommended to maintain the clean aesthetic of low shoes. Dress socks are also suitable for smarter occasions.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as they can be easily damaged by water and stains. Apply a water-repellent spray for minor protection, but avoid heavy rain.

How often should I use a suede brush?

Brush your suede shoes regularly, ideally after each wear or at least once a week, to remove dust and keep the nap looking its best.

What is the main difference between these and other Sebago shoe models?

The Portland Artisan series often features premium materials like suede and classic construction methods. Specific differences vary by model, but this line emphasizes craftsmanship and traditional styling.

How do I know if the UK size 10.5 is the right fit?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel snug without slipping, and the width should allow your foot to rest comfortably without pressure points.

Are these shoes suitable for formal events?

These shoes are best suited for smart-casual or business-casual settings. For very formal events like black-tie affairs, more traditional formal footwear would be appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For persistent dullness, a suede eraser can help.

Stains on the suede

For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, try a suede eraser. For stubborn stains, consider professional suede cleaning.

Sole feels slippery

Ensure the rubber sole is clean. If wear is significant, consult a cobbler for potential sole replacement or treatment.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with new ones of a similar material and length. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid undue stress.
