Sebago was born in 1946 from a consumer demand for quality, casual footwear. An owner of five independent shoe stores in Maine was determined to keep his stores stocked,so he partnered with two local businessmen and created a hand sewn footwear factory.

The Sebago Beacon Deck Boot are hand sewn from high quality leather with leather laces, non corrosive eyelets, non slip rubberised sole unit and a woven Sebago label on the cuff.

Converse began in 1908 specialising in rubber galoshes. Eventually they started using this rubber to make sneakers. In 1920 the famous basketball sneaker was born, the "All Star". The intention of the shoe was purely for basketball but gradually they increased so much in popularity, everyone was wearing the iconic shoes.

The Converse 1970s Chuck Taylor Hi is Part of the latest 1970s collection paying homage to the classic All Star trainer featuring canvas uppers, raised foxing with the iconic blue and red stripes. The trainers have a vulcanised sole with a new drop-in Lunarlon cushioning for extra comfort with a tonal toe box.

The Deck Shoes Story

Written By Doug Ellison - April 26 2016

Deck shoes should be a part of every self respecting man's wardrobe, comfortable stylish and practical, they are available in a multitude off colours and generally in leather or suede.

Two of the best brands out there hail from the USA and with a combined history of over 190 years they offer superior products which are manufactured using tried and tested production and hand finishing, Sperry and Sebago are synonymous with the New England lifestyle and between them they have captured the essence of casual footwear with the added bonus of practicality.

Paul Sperry had personal experience of the importance of non sip souls on deck and so started his long and ambitious quest for a solution. One day in 1935, after watching his dog dart effortlessly across the ice on a cold Connecticut day, he was inspired to carve grooves – like those on his dog's paws – into the bottom of a rubber sole. In that moment of inspiration, the world's first boat shoe was born.

Both Sperry and Sebago pride themselves on craftsmanship and special feature that improve performance, details like non slip souls and the anti corrosive eyelets from Sebago ensure the shoe can endure the corrosive effects of the salt and all that life has to show at them, equally at home in the city and countryside deck shoes are now a staple in mens wardrobes around the globe.

At Union Clothing we have been very precise on our selection and have tried to offer styles that fit in with our denim and casual selection of clothing from brands with the same ethos.
