Really Great Shoes!

These are not only stylish (my opinion) but they're very comfortable especially in tight areas on a boat. I haven't slipped once. The other great thing I noticed was the lack of smell after a full day of sailing. It's great! There's an insert that looks like it can be removed but I believe it's there to be washed to help with smell or mildew if that ever happens. The laces have never loosened on me, and they're easy to clean. Worn them 5 days of sailing and they still look like new.

Works well for me

I wish I bought these shoes earlier. Compared to other boating shoes I find they’re very comfortable for walking on shore and believe it or not, that’s important to me. Fit and finish look good. Everyone seems to like them.

Great looking but causing serious odor problems.

These shoes absolutely look great but the smell from my feet being in them is horrific. No other shoes or boots in my house cause thi,s but I can't wear these without having to plug my nose when they come off. I had to throw them out. Shame too, they look and feel terrific.
