I so much wanted to give these five stars. They are very stylish and lightweight, but unlike other Sperry Billfish I purchased (2 last year), these seem a little narrower, and have worn out the backs of my heals the two times I have worn them. Because of this, I wear them sparingly.  The ones from last year were ready to wear without any issues. Different manufacturer perhaps, but they are still disappointing.  They have have a nice soft feel to them, like the previous ones, but they have me wondering if they are genuine leather or a simulated material.
