The Sebago Portland Low Shoes are designed for adult males seeking a versatile, classic leather moccasin for smart-casual wear. Their key benefit lies in their timeless nautical appeal and durable, hand-stitched construction, offering a refined look for summer outings and boat trips.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Portland Dockside Moccasins are constructed with a standard fit. The 360° lacing system allows for some adjustability, but individuals with significantly wide feet may find them less comfortable without trying them on first.
How do I clean them after wearing them in saltwater?
Immediately rinse the shoes with clear, fresh water after any saltwater exposure. This helps remove salt crystals that can damage and dry out the leather. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What type of socks should I wear with these shoes?
These moccasins are often worn with no-show socks or thin cotton socks to maintain a clean, casual look. They can also be worn sockless in warm weather.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few months, or more frequently if exposed to harsh conditions or saltwater. Use a conditioner specifically for oiled and waxed leather.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are made from water-resistant leather and feature a rubber sole, offering protection against splashes and light rain. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged immersion in water is not recommended.
What is the primary material used in these shoes?
The shoes are primarily constructed from 100% genuine leather for the upper and lining, with a 100% rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears stiff or whitened
This is likely due to salt residue. Clean thoroughly with fresh water and then apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore suppleness.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. While designed for grip, excessive wear can reduce effectiveness. Consider replacement if the sole is significantly worn.
Laces become frayed
The rawhide laces can be replaced. Contact Sebago or a reputable shoe repair shop for compatible replacement laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Care Instructions:
- General Cleaning: Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
- Saltwater Exposure: If exposed to seawater, immediately clean the shoes with clear water to remove salt residue. Salt can dry out and stiffen the leather, causing whitening.
- Leather Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner specifically designed for oiled and waxed leathers to maintain suppleness and shine. Apply sparingly and buff.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources if they become wet.
