My husband doesn't shop, so if I want him to look good, I have to do the shopping. I discovered these shoes and now he owns 4 pair in different colors. They're reasonably priced and totally comfortable along with being stylish. He wore them all through Italy on a 2 week trip. They are perfect!
They're Sperrys---they are the BEST boat shoe in the world! fit perfect and pair them with Sperry boat shoe no shows and you have the total comfort!
Excellent Sperry boat shoes. Very comfortable. Fast shipping was a real plus!!
Throw away your White New Balance Sneakers ! These are what you need. These sneakers + A Dad Bod will have girls half your age taking a second look when you walk in your local Moose Club. Forget about those tube socks ,because these babies are made to look like you spend most of your free time aboard a sailboat out on the seas. I like to switch these up with a pair of Sperry Slip ons occasionally for a more sporty look. If you don’t have a problem lying to women you can tell them you live on a yacht. I highly recommend getting a gold chain with the little hot pepper medallion. It’s gives a finished look that says “ I am really into you,but I’m also worried about girls only sleeping with me for my money” look. Also… try saying that out loud to pretty girls as an “ice breaker “You’re welcome.
Having worn deck (boat) shoes all summertime long for every summer since my teens, I was thrilled to try out Sperry's offering--since I can no longer get the cheaper (but will last for years and years, and survived tropical storms in the Keys where tromping through six-inches of water became necessary) Falls Creek brand--because they looked like a proper deck shoe. Once I tried them on, though, I was less than thrilled. They did not feel like a deck shoe should; the fit was too tight for the height and width of my foot, they had a strange elevated aspect to them, and it was awkward and somewhat painful to walk around in them. That was until I pulled out the stock insole to find that the heel was raised substantially and the front part of the insole was overly thick--making the overall thickness way too much. Once I replaced that painful sucker with a flat set of Odor Eaters, these fit great and now have the proper deck shoe feel: as if you are walking around on bare feet without having to walk around on bare feet. I now love them, and am using my own idea of a modified fishtail knot for the notoriously difficult to keep tied leather laces.The only reason these are not a full 5 stars is that ridiculously designed stock insole. The comfort in wearing a deck shoe comes from its state of flatness, not from some overly-designed insole. So do yourself a favor, and rip that sucker out.
Bought these for around the house/yard shoes, had never heard of hemp shoes. As good as the canvas shoes I normally buy.
