Made to be the perfect nautical shoe, this durable boat shoe has been crafted from a single piece of unlined, full-grain leather and hand-stitched with the finest craftsmanship. Leather insole, all-round leather lacing system and non-slip, non-marking striated rubber outsole - for stable grip in all weather conditions. “Portland” loafers have in their very DNA an innate connection and affection for the city of Portland, one of New England's largest seaports and home to the famous Yachting Club of the same name.
