FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Portland Artisan features a classic fit. While the soft suede offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consider the next half-size up.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

These shoes are made from suede and are not waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the suede.

How often should I clean my suede shoes?

Regular brushing after wear is recommended to remove dust and maintain the suede's appearance. A more thorough cleaning or treatment should be done as needed, depending on wear and environmental conditions.

What is the main advantage of the unlined construction?

The unlined construction contributes to a significantly lighter feel and enhances breathability, making the shoes more comfortable for extended wear, especially in warmer climates.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of slip-resistant rubber, designed to provide optimal grip on a variety of surfaces.

Are these shoes true to size?

Generally, Sebago shoes are considered true to size. However, individual fit can vary. Referencing sizing charts and customer reviews can be helpful.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears flat or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore its texture. Brush in multiple directions.

Minor scuffs or marks on suede

Try using a suede eraser to gently rub away the mark. For persistent marks, professional cleaning may be necessary.

Laces becoming untied frequently

Ensure the laces are tied with a secure knot. Consider double-knotting if necessary.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

While designed for grip, ensure the sole is clean. If wear is significant, consult a cobbler for sole inspection.

Care:
