Just the best shoe for my feet. I have gone through THREE pair of these. Mine usually last about 2 years per pair with very heavy use around fresh water. Sad to see Sperry drop this product. I did notice a change in product quality with my last pair. Some stitching issues that required repair about a year in with really heavy use. They are just as durable otherwise,even though they were somewhat lightweight in feel compared to my first two pair.
