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 collar in repurposed sail, leather sock lining, 360° lace system with cotton laces evoking the look of yachting ropes, and non-marking antislip siped 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 “Tack” mocs take their name from the brusk maneuver carried out in sailing to receive wind from another direction in order to change course or pace.
