About Sebago

Established in 1946, Sebago was created to meet the consumer demand for quality, casual footwear. The brand's founder owned five independent shoe stores in Maine and was determined to keep them stocked. The original shoe they made, the Sebago Classic beefroll penny loafer, is still handsewn with the finest craftsmanship today, just as it was back then.
