Today, we fondly remember Daniel Wellehan, a pivotal figure in Sebago’s history who played a crucial role in the brand’s success. Daniel began his career in the footwear industry in 1959 at Lamey-Wellehan Shoes, the family business. Shortly after, in 1961, he joined Sebago-Moc, later known as Sebago, Inc.
Sebago thrived under Daniel’s leadership and commitment to quality. His passion for footwear and dedication to excellence helped elevate the brand to global prominence. In 1972, Daniel was instrumental in creating the famous Docksides™, known for their exceptional grip on boat decks and their versatility.
Daniel’s love for travel drove him to expand the brand to over 57 countries, building lasting relationships with international partners. Sebago and Docksides remain symbols of Maine and high-quality craftsmanship.
Today, the brand continues to draw inspiration from his values, honoring a man who made a significant impact on the world of footwear.
