FAQs
Are Sebago Portland shoes waterproof?
No, they are made of natural leather and are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and moisture management on boats.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Sebago Portland shoes generally run true to size, but since they are made of unlined leather, they may feel snug at first before stretching to fit your foot.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, they are designed to be worn comfortably without socks, though using a no-show liner can help with moisture absorption.
How do I maintain the leather?
Keep the leather hydrated with a quality leather conditioner every few months and wipe off dirt or salt immediately after use.
Are they suitable for heavy walking?
While comfortable for light walking, they are specialized nautical shoes and may lack the arch support required for extensive, all-day hiking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
Wear them indoors for short periods with thick socks to help stretch and soften the leather gradually.
Laces constantly come untied
Ensure the rawhide laces are knotted securely with a double knot; you can also apply a tiny amount of leather conditioner to the laces to increase grip.
Salt stains appearing on the leather
Gently clean the affected area with a mixture of water and a mild leather cleaner, then buff with a soft cloth once dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the best fit out of your Sebago Portland shoes is simple. When you first try them on, ensure the 360-degree lacing is adjusted to your heel width to prevent slippage. As these are leather, they will naturally conform to your foot shape over the first few wears. To care for your shoes, wipe them down with a damp cloth after exposure to saltwater. Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
