When we talk about timeless footwear, few brands carry as much heritage and style as Sebago. Best known for their legendary Docksides, Sebago has become synonymous with authentic craftsmanship, coastal lifestyle, and effortless elegance.
At Pas Courant, we are proud to bring this iconic brand to you — both in store and online.
A Brief History of Sebago
Founded in 1946 in Maine, USA, Sebago was born from a desire to create quality, hand-stitched shoes that could withstand both the urban hustle and the rugged outdoors. The name "Sebago" comes from a nearby lake, reflecting the brand’s deep connection with nature and the water.
From the beginning, Sebago focused on crafting shoes using traditional techniques, especially the authentic handsewn moccasin construction — a technique still used today.
The Rise of the Docksides
In 1970, Sebago launched what would become their most famous model: the Docksides. Inspired by the needs of sailors and coastal adventurers, Docksides were designed as durable, non-slip deck shoes that could handle wet, slippery surfaces while offering comfort and style.
With their simple, functional design, leather upper, non-marking rubber sole, and rust-proof eyelets, Docksides quickly transcended the boating world. They became a true fashion icon, embraced by college students, prep culture, and style enthusiasts worldwide — especially after gaining cult status in the 1980s.
Fun fact: Sebago Docksides even made it into the pages of the Official Preppy Handbook, a tongue-in-cheek guide that captured the American East Coast prep style!
Why Docksides Remain a Must-Have
More than 50 years later, Docksides are still a symbol of laid-back elegance.
They are:
- Versatile: Perfect for boat outings, city strolls, summer barbecues, and even casual Fridays.
- Durable: Made with premium leather and sturdy soles designed to last.
- Timeless: Their design remains virtually unchanged — because when something is perfect, why change it?
- Comfortable: The more you wear them, the more they mold perfectly to your feet.
In a world of fast fashion, investing in a pair of Sebago Docksides means choosing authentic craftsmanship and long-lasting style.
