Just as good as the Sperry Topsider Billfish  shoe only better made. Received a pair of these yesterday fully leather lined on the inside, breathable arch supports, rivet vents that have mini screening in them. The sole is non marking and the shoe is Nubuck leather Which I would advise that you spray with waterproofing spay (from Wally world) Day 1 that you get them. Will update these shoes after six months of wear on the boat and marinas...this shoe looks great with blue jeans.

Update 2014
Still have those shoes, Back again to Amazon to buy another pair; this time in Brown to replace my Sperry TopSiders Billfish  edition that I use during Summer months on our  Hatteras Sportsfisherman's Yacht  . Going to get a lot of inquiries about these shoos; but then I will keep their 'secret'  of how comfortable they are to myself. BTW the Sperry Billfish shoes are Made in China too have a pair on right now. For those of you who keep up with that thing , and the Sperry's STOP at size 13 in that model. I need a 14.
