How to Measure
- Take a piece of paper and a pen or pencil.
- Stand with your heels firmly against a wall.
- Stand upright, distributing your weight evenly on both feet.
- Have someone else draw a straight line at the tip of your longest toe.
- Measure the distance from the wall to the line in centimetres.
- Compare your foot length measurement with the size chart below to determine your ideal shoe size.
- For the most accurate measurement, measure your feet at the end of the day when they are at their largest.

Product-Specific Guidance
Boat Shoes & Docksides
Sebago's signature boat shoes are designed with a structured leather upper and secure sole. Order your true shoe size; these styles typically fit snug initially but soften beautifully with wear. The leather will mould to your foot, providing an increasingly comfortable fit. If you have a particularly wide foot, consider sizing up by half a size, but expect a modest break-in period.
Loafers
Loafers from Sebago run true to size and are generally more comfortable straight out of the box than boat shoes due to their slip-on design. However, the quality leather construction means a brief adjustment period is normal. Ensure adequate toe room; the shoe should not pinch at the sides or heel.
Trainers & Casual Shoes
Sebago's trainers and contemporary casual styles are cut for a standard fit. Order your regular UK or US shoe size. These styles typically require minimal break-in thanks to their modern construction and flexible soles.
Apparel
Sebago apparel including shirts, jumpers, and trousers is sized according to standard European measurements. Use your chest, waist, and hip measurements to select the appropriate size. Allow for a small amount of ease in the chest and waist for comfort. If you fall between two sizes, choose the larger size for layering flexibility.
Sizing Tips
- Measure in the afternoon or evening when your feet are naturally slightly swollen, ensuring accurate sizing for real-world wearing conditions.
- Account for socks when measuring. If you plan to wear Sebago shoes with socks, wear the same thickness of sock during your measurement for the most precise fit.
- Break-in is normal for Sebago leather shoes. Quality leather softens and moulds to your foot shape over the first few wears. Minor creasing and flexibility improvements are signs of proper fitting and conditioning.
- Check the width if you have particularly narrow or wide feet. Standard Sebago sizing is regular width; if you struggle with fit, contact customer service about available width options.
- Return policy allows you to try sizes at home. If unsure between two sizes, order both and return the incorrect fit within the stated return window—typically 14 days.
- Leather care matters. Proper conditioning and maintenance of your Sebago shoes will extend their life and improve comfort. Use appropriate leather care products to maintain flexibility and water resistance as part of your sizing investment.
