Samuel Hubbard: New Endeavor (M1500)

The Ultimate Performance Boat Shoe

Designed in Mill Valley, CA, and handcrafted in Portugal, the New Endeavor redefines the traditional boat shoe. It is built with the Hubbard Hybrid Comfort Sole technology, which took over two years to perfect, offering a shoe that is half the weight and twice as bouncy as standard competitors.

Premium Construction & Materials

• Water-Repellent Upper: Features oil-impregnated leather with a wax topcoat designed to stay soft while repelling water and morning dew.
• Glove-Leather Lining: A full, seamless glove-leather lining provides a buttery-soft feel, superior breathability, and eliminates common pressure points.
• 360° Lacing System: The traditional wrap-around lacing system ensures a secure fit, preventing the heel from slipping during agile movement.
• Padded Comfort: Includes additional padding in the tongue and collar to prevent chafing, especially when worn without socks.

Advanced Sole Technology

• Siped Rubber Outsole: Uses a century-old "siping" technique—cutting thin slits into the rubber—to provide exceptional no-slip traction on wet or dry surfaces.
• Triple-Density Insole: A removable memory foam insole topped with silky leather provides deep cushioning and arch support. It can be easily replaced with custom orthotics.
• Motion Control: Unlike many boat shoes with soft heels, the New Endeavor features a firm heel counter to provide stability and prevent foot rotation (pronation or supination).
