True to size, Great value, and able to wear to many occasions
Available in a whopping 15 color options, this product caters to every style preference out there, so everyone can find something to love. I personally went with the navy-blue variant and I've received so many compliments about the stylish design. These shoes blend the perfect balance of being uniquely fashionable and practical as a water shoe. What surprised me is how these shoes can effortlessly transition from a casual day at the beach to a nice dinner at a restaurant. You can literally wear them on any occasion, which is a testament to their versatility!The product's lightweight feature truly stands out. The shoes feel almost feather-like on the feet, yet don't compromise on their sturdy nature. You can wear them for long hours without experiencing any discomfort or heaviness. The comfort level of these shoes is off the charts, thanks to the smartly designed cushioned insole that guarantees a comfortable walking experience. I was also impressed that the sizing is very accurate. As someone who usually struggles with shoe sizes, I found that these boat shoes are true to their size and fit perfectly!Lastly, the grip on these shoes deserves a special mention. It's been an absolute game-changer when walking on a boat. The anti-slip outsole provides excellent traction, ensuring safety while keeping you steady on wet surfaces. The Sperry Men's Authentic Original Float Boat Shoe has indeed lived up to its brand's reputation for providing reliable boat shoes. Despite the premium features and quality, the shoes offer an excellent value for the price point. Whether you're a seafarer or a style-conscious individual who values comfort, this product is worth every penny. I'd wholeheartedly recommend the Sperry Men's Authentic Original Float Boat Shoe to anyone looking for a stylish, comfortable, and reliable pair of shoes!

Comfortable shoes but be patient when breaking them in
I have had these for a few weeks and they have become my favorite everyday shoes. Normally I am a size 8.5 but sized a down to an 8 after reading other reviews. I am glad I did but it takes about two weeks for them to loosen up where they are comfortable. I did get blisters in the beginning but that has resolved itself. I think if I went with a size 9, they would have been too big. I like the black, as they go with anything. Also I feel comfortable walking on different surfaces and not slipping. So far the quality is good. I can’t speak for being waterproof as these are lined but my feet are not overheated in the warmer weather. Overall I would purchase again.

Great water shoes
Definitely go a half size smaller. The shoe does run bigger. They were comfortable and felt secure on wet surfaces. My only issue is that I have a left swollen ankle from RA and didn’t realize that the shoe hits my ankle. Needless to say I developed a blister quickly. But I still love the shoes. I actually wore them with a casual dress on the boat. Got lots of compliments. Just take in consideration if your ankle swell.

Good on decks
I’m a boater. Dingys, sloops and race committee. I’m surprised that I like them. Got at a good price. True to size if a bit wide. These slip on easily, stay on and are comfy; not much arch support. The soles don’t slip on deck which I would expect from Sperrys. We will see how they do on odor control but expect they will because of good ventilation. Not fancy but get the job done.

I hoped for better
I bought these with high hopes as an alternative boat shoe and water shoe. I read something about them being comfortable and not causing blisters. I can tell you the first time I wore them, blisters on my ankles. I haven’t wore them since.

Fun shoes!
Altho I don't have a boat nor often go on boats I decided to try these after reading lots of reviews. I love that they are fur lined. I am a size 7-7.5 W or XW due to arthritic issues on both feet. I bought these in an 8 on sale at the time for under $15. They are a little big but I figure in the colder weather with the fur could use them as backup slippers. I also think they're cute!

Not for wearing near water at all
Maybe I didn't read the description well enough? I was looking for boat shoes. These have open air-holes but have a furry lining (not removable) so they are not meant to be worn on a boat at all. I returned them.
