Good As Deck Shoes, Great As Sneakers
"Ancient Fossil" color. I wear 11.5 wide shoes, and these shoes fit me true to size in width and length. I now have 3 pair and wish I had bought more before Columbia changed the style. This model is not available directly from Columbia anymore, so I was fortunate to find the Ancient Fossil (light khaki) on Amazon, but I also have grey pair for yard work, and a white pair for warm-weather boating. Columbia advertises that this shoe is stain resistant; and well, based on the fact that the left shoe of the grey pair (it was winter) did not get stained after a redfish spit out a stinking, partially digested, shrimp on it, I suppose that claim might be true. I hope I can keep using the khaki pair as sneakers for a long time. Dang, why did I review this now that it has been discontinued?

High quality performance
I use ‘em for boats and pools—they are comfortable, attractive and inexpensive. I’ve washed them in the machine and they don’t stink or yellow. I estimate I’ll get many uses from them, then buy another pair!

Great boat/summer shoe
Very comfortable shoe for summer fun. Looks great for casual evening’s and everyday beach/boat wear. Some new ortho inserts and it’s a 5 star shoe

Great all-around boat shoes
They are comfortable out of the box but get better the more you wear them. I have worn these in the water several times and they dry quickly and do not smell like most shoes would. The traction is great, I have not slipped once while launching my boat on the slick boat ramp. I have read some reviews that the material can separate at the top crease, but I have not had this issue. I hope they last me for a while, but I will be purchasing a backup pair soon.

Decent but fall apart after one summer
After a summer of using these on the boat, the seams fell apart, definitely not a water shoe as they will start to really stink after being in the lake for a few hours.
