FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather is durable and resistant to water, it is not fully waterproof. They are designed for boat decks, not submersion.
How do I determine if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but not restrictive. There should be a small amount of room in the toe box, and your heel should not lift excessively when walking.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, they are designed to be worn comfortably without socks, but many users prefer no-show socks to manage moisture in warmer weather.
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
They are ideal for casual walking, but because they are flat, they do not provide the high arch support found in specialized athletic running shoes.
How should I store them during winter?
Clean them thoroughly, apply leather conditioner, and store them in a breathable bag in a climate-controlled area.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or stiff when first worn
This is normal for genuine leather. Wear them with thin socks indoors for short periods to break them in before long-distance walking.
Laces coming loose
Ensure the 360-degree lacing system is pulled tight at the heel before tying a double knot to prevent slipping.
Salt buildup on leather
Immediately wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry slowly; never use a hairdryer or direct radiator heat, as this can crack the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Sebago Portland Docksides remain in top condition, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away salt or dirt after use with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn stains.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the hide from drying out, especially after exposure to sun and salt air.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources. Use cedar shoe trees to help maintain the original shape and absorb moisture after wear.
- Fit: These shoes are designed to conform to the foot. If they feel snug initially, wear them for short periods inside the house to allow the leather to stretch naturally to your foot shape.
