Do not understand the bad comments about these shoes. Just put in a full summer season (2011) in them working, mowing lawn, walking dogs, and yes: actually boating. No slip. Stay nice looking. I hav big fat feet like a duck and they go right on and off with my long shoehorn. Nice looking...I've worn them to the Club and actually gotten comments on them.
So whats with the whining. They are comfortable, heavier than cheap "boat shoes", don't slip and appear to be durable...mine cleaned up with a damp cloth and are ready for next summer.
I LIKE 'em!!
