I bought my first pair of these about 15 years ago in New Hampshire. I rocked them for a few summers and then somehow lost them in college. This summer I bought another pair. No other boat shoe can touch these things. Super soft, super comfortable, and a classic look. If you're a guy, you need a pair of these. You'll wear them all summer long, and if you live up north like me, you'll wear them in house in the winter. They're great to run out for the mail or a quick trip to grab a gallon of milk.
