FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Portland Artisan features a classic fit. While the laces allow for some adjustment, the unlined suede may offer more flexibility than lined shoes. For very wide feet, it's recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I wear these in the rain?
These shoes are best suited for dry weather. Suede is not water-resistant and can be easily damaged by rain. Applying a suede protector can offer some resistance, but they are not intended for wet conditions.
How do I clean the rubber sole?
The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe away any residue and allow to dry.
What is the difference between Portland Artisan and other Sebago lines?
The Portland Artisan specifically highlights artisanal techniques, using luxuriously soft, unlined Italian suede for a lighter feel compared to more traditional, lined boat shoes or loafers.
Do these shoes have arch support?
The Sebago Portland Artisan features a flat sole and a branded insole for comfort. They do not provide significant built-in arch support.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. A dust bag is recommended to protect the suede.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner.
Shoes got wet
Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, brush the suede to restore its texture. Consider treating with a suede protector.
Laces are worn
The square-cut laces can be replaced with similar flat or braided laces suitable for casual shoes. Ensure the length is appropriate.
Fit feels slightly loose
Tighten the front lace-up fastening for a more secure fit. As suede softens, the fit may become more relaxed.
