Dockside Martellato Navy Grain Leather Sailing Shoe
-
Description
We’re delighted to showcase this iteration of Sebago's iconic Portland boat shoe, an American classic now gracing our British shores. This iteration beautifully melds Sebago's rich artisanal heritage with the timeless tradition of sailing, making it a perfect companion for the discerning gentleman who seeks both style and substance.
The Martellato is crafted with a premium full-grain leather upper, adorned with a hammered finish that is as resilient as it is refined. Each pair bears the mark of skilled craftsmanship, featuring a hand-stitched apron that is as pleasing to the eye as it is testament to the shoe’s durability. Square-cut leather laces weave their way along the sides, a nod to the shoe’s nautical roots, while the 360° rawhide lace system ensures a snug and secure fit. Every detail is meticulously crafted to harmonise style with functionality, echoing the elegant yet enduring nature of British craftsmanship.
Whether you find yourself traversing the cobbled streets of the city or strolling along our picturesque British waterways, the non-slip rubber sole ensures every step is taken with confidence. It moves gracefully with the foot, offering optimal grip on all surfaces and making the Martellato as versatile as it is stylish.
Step into our store and experience this version of the Portland boat shoe for yourself - a seamless blend of American craftsmanship and British elegance, ready to accompany you on every journey, both nautical and terrestrial. -
