SEBAGO SUMMER - ON THE WAY!
Dust off the lawn furniture and roll out the Grills because the warm weather and summer sun are finally on the way! I know winter is over the first weekend it feels warm enough to wear my favorite boat shoes! Growing up on the East Coast, boating is never that far away. Between the Atlantic Ocean, the Hudson River, and endless Lakes, a harbour lifestyle is not hard to find. In fact, there are few pastimes more popular than nautical pursuits. From the Southern coast of France to the Southern Coast of California, the beauty of the seashore is unmatched by anything man made. Of course in the fashion world, there are few reference more timeless and valid that boating and nautical style.
Boat shoes from companies like SEBAGO have been a tradition for all hands on deck for generations. Since the 1940's the New England company has been providing hand sewn mocs to a dedicated audience. Of course now the shoes are known worldwide. Even the trendiest retailer in Paris - Colette - carries a special collection of these American Classics.
Everyone should have a pair in their closet. They are the perfect go-to shoe for that weekend trip out of town, or just pounding the pavement of NYC or any Metropolis you call home.
Personally, I size down a half a size because the leather of my Sebago Docksides stretch a bit. I'm not timid about wearing them everywhere.. weekends on the dock or even during the week when I'm on the clock!
