SEAVEES Mariners Boot Mens OD Green 9.5 B (M) Review
The SEAVEES Mariners Boot is a nod to history, specifically to the Mare Island Naval Shipyard, the first U.S. Navy base established on the Pacific Ocean. This boot captures the essence of 'swim shoes' or 'coral creepers' once used by Naval sea cadets during the late 1960s. Combining heritage with modern functionality, these boots are designed for style and performance.

User Reviews
Comfy and stylish kicks. You can’t go wrong with a few pair of Seavees in your rotation. So stop reading and order them.
Husband is usually 10 but when with a 10.5 and it’s a tiny bit large/ he kept them because he has wide feet and wears them mostly with thick socks. It’s taking a little while to break them in, but so far he’s had them for one month and likes them a lot. They look super cool, too!
Very comfortable and good looking boots. I sprayed them with some water protection spray immediately and they’ve staid pretty clean, even in the rain.
Too small
Not only are these VERY uncomfortable to wear (hard as hell, so much that I had blisters In my feet after 20min walk), but these are nowhere near water repellent, let alone water resistant. After a walk in the rain for 15min my feet were WET. Yeah, they look good, that’s about it. Buy it at your own risk.
