FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Portland Artisan Sailor Shoes have a standard width. The soft nature of the suede allows for some give, but they may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet without trying them on first.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain, as water can stain and damage the material. Light moisture can be managed with proper care and protection, but prolonged exposure should be avoided.
How do I break in my new Sebago Sailor Shoes?
Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the natural suede to soften and conform to your foot shape. They should become comfortable relatively quickly due to the unlined construction.
What is the difference between these and traditional boat shoes?
These Sailor Shoes are inspired by nautical design but are specifically crafted from soft, unlined Italian suede for a lighter, more casual, and artisanal feel, differing from the typically more structured and leather-intensive traditional boat shoe.
How often should I reapply suede protector?
Reapply suede protector spray every few months, or more frequently if the shoes are worn often or exposed to adverse conditions, following the product's specific recommendations.
Is the insole removable?
The branded insole is integrated into the shoe's design for comfort and is not intended to be removable.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to lift the nap and restore its texture.
Water or stain marks on the suede
Allow the shoe to dry naturally. Use a suede eraser for light marks. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a specialized suede cleaning product as per instructions.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. The natural suede will soften with wear.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
While designed for slip resistance, ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists on particularly slick surfaces, consider a protective sole treatment from a cobbler.
