Artisanal footwear: loafers and ankle boots
The Sebago footwear collection is built on an artisanal tradition requiring over 150 manual steps for every pair. Theloafersare divided into two main lines: theDan, beefroll penny loafers crafted from brushed full-grain leather with Goodyear construction, unlined upper, and treated leather sole for four-season wear, and theAskook, leather lace-up mocs inspired by Algonquin Native American footwear, featuring a rubber lug sole for maximum traction. Theankle bootsinclude theDakota, chukka boots in heat-tanned tumbled leather with flat cotton laces and a dual-layer crepe sole resistant to abrasion and water, and theYansa(from the Cherokee word for "buffalo"), Chelsea boots in oiled suede with elastic side panels and an insulating EVA sole, inspired by the Swinging London cultural scene of the '50s and '60s.
Materials and footwear construction
Sebago footwear is crafted from a rigorous selection of premium leathers. Thefull-grain leatherforms the base of the Dan and Askook loafers, brushed for durability and to improve with age. Thetumbled leatherof the Dakota is heat-tanned and treated with oils that make the texture naturally smooth, while theoiled suedeof the Yansa is fresh and soft to the touch thanks to special oils. Soles vary by intended use: treated leather for the Dan (durability, flexibility, water resistance), rubber lug sole for the Askook (traction on uneven terrain), dual-layer crepe for the Dakota (protection from abrasion, water, and acids), die-cut EVA for the Yansa (insulation and shock absorption). The lining is generally thin leather or full-grain leather, while some models feature an unlined upper for seasonal versatility.
