Product Information
Full details
The Sebago Portland is a premium hand-sewn boat shoe designed for adult men who prioritize stability and nautical performance. These shoes offer exceptional grip on wet surfaces and long-term comfort through a durable leather construction, making them ideal for both boat decks and casual city strolls. While they provide a spacious, comfortable fit, users should be aware that the traditional leather material requires a short break-in period to achieve an ideal contour to the foot.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are water-resistant and designed to handle splashes and wet decks, but they are not fully waterproof, so avoid full submersion.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the interior lining and high-quality leather are designed to be comfortable against the skin for extended periods.
How should the shoe fit?
The Portland features a regular fit with a slightly spacious feel to accommodate the natural foot, ensuring comfort without pinching.
Are the outsoles truly non-marking?
Yes, the rubber compound is specifically formulated to provide grip on boat decks without leaving black scuff marks behind.
How do I choose the right size?
The Sebago Portland follows standard UK sizing; choose your usual size, keeping in mind that leather stretches slightly over time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose after breaking in
Tighten the 360-degree rawhide laces around the heel and ankle to draw the shoe closer to your foot.
Leather looks dry or dull
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine.
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Loosen the laces fully before sliding your foot in; the leather will soften with consistent use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Sebago Portland shoes maintain their appearance and functionality, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove salt or debris after nautical use. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to prevent the material from drying out and cracking.
- Lacing: Adjust the 360-degree laces when the shoe is on your foot to find the "sweet spot" of tension, then tie firmly to maintain the fit throughout the day.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and use cedar shoe trees to help the leather maintain its shape and absorb residual moisture.
