A gift for my boyfriend. He liked them.
Very good and true to size
Have always like polo brand. The shoe is very nice and comfortable. Runs 1/2 size large.
Perfect fit. Good quality. Comfortable. What more could you ask for?This pair replaced a pair of the same type but of a different color that I wore hard for years.Update: This pair did not last as long as the first pair I purchased. Insoles and soles wore through in relatively short order after having been worn and used normally in an urban environment. I have NOT been impressed with the durability of this pair of shoes or the value for the price paid but I do recognize they are marketed as "boat shoes" and suspect they would have lasted longer if they had not been worn on the concrete and asphalt surfaces of an urban environment. I'm not sure if I will be willing to spend that much again for another pair as they did not last long before wearing out and falling apart. I would have been more impressed if the soles were more durable or thicker, if the inner material was more durable so it would not wear through in short order, and if the surrounds had adhered to the upper material better, as they seperated. Soles appear relatively thin and wear through when worn on concrete or asphalt. I do like that the soles appear to be natural latex rubber. First impression was very good but after two pairs my conclusion is that these are not sufficiently durable for my usage. Poor value for price paid. Required constant maintenance.
I usually just wear vans because I'm lazy but I tried a pair of these and they are actually pretty nice.
this is a good shoe, but for me I didn't like the green polo on it I was thinking it was blue from the picture, but when it came in it was green, so I sent mine back and just ordered another pair, great shoe tho
I love this style of Ralph Lauren shoes. The last set I purchased maybe 8 years ago is still in excellent shape, & this current set fits amazingly. Note, they tend to run just a bit big, maybe 1/4 bigger than the actual size listed.
Polo is notorious for making not very good shoes, I mean they look good but that's about it. The shoe is too low cut so it doesn't feel like it's a solid fit when it's on AND there is absolutely no arch support at all. On the plus side they look good but they do not appear to be very solidly made and don't expect them to last that long.
