Constructed to be the perfect nautical footwear, these long-lasting boat shoes are made from soft and comfortable suede, and hand-sewn with the finest craftsmanship: they come with resistant yet velvety Nubuck collar, leather sock lining, 360? lace system with cotton laces evoking the look of yachting ropes, and non-marking antislip rubber soles to offer stable grip in all weather conditions. Homage to the city of "Portland" in New England and its world famous Yachting Club, the "Tiller" mocs take their name from the bar used to control and steer a boat.
