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 sewn with the finest craftsmanship. Leather insole, 360° leather lacing system and non-marking non-slip striped rubber sole - to provide a stable grip in all weather conditions. Portland loafers have in their own DNA an innate bond and affection to the city of Portland, one of New England's largest seaports, and home to the famous Yachting Club of the same name.
