FAQs
What material are these shoes made from?
These Sebago Portland Artisan loafers are made from suede.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
While the non-slip sole offers good grip, suede is not inherently water-resistant. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions, and to use a suede protector spray for added defense.
How do I determine my UK size?
Refer to a standard UK men's shoe size chart. Sebago shoes are typically true to size, but checking the specific size guide for the model is recommended if available.
Can these loafers be worn for formal occasions?
These are primarily designed for smart-casual wear. They are too informal for strict business or formal events but are suitable for most social gatherings and relaxed professional environments.
What is the benefit of the hand-sewn construction?
Hand-sewn construction is a hallmark of quality footwear, offering superior durability, flexibility, and a more refined, artisanal appearance compared to machine-stitched shoes.
How often should I clean my suede loafers?
Regularly brush them after wear to remove dust. A more thorough cleaning or conditioning might be needed every few months, depending on wear frequency and environmental conditions.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser.
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is normal for new, high-quality footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Water spots or stains on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, attempt to remove stains with a suede eraser or brush. Prevention with a protector spray is recommended.
Laces become worn
Replace laces with a similar type and length to maintain the shoe's aesthetic. Ensure new laces are tied securely.

Care:
- Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat if they become wet.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain shape and protect from dust.
