I was excited when I received these in the mail, I. Bought them for my father unlawful who lives on his boat in Newport harbor. They fit true to size and he said theey were comfortable. I looked through all the boat shoes on amazon and these were the only unique looking style. My father in law will now have an updated looking shoe to wear around the docks and on his boat. He called to tell my husband they grip great even though his boat is slick as can be and that he is very happy.

About the look of the shoe,  the sole rubber wasn't white az pictured but was gray. Its not unattractive and I think it looks better. The shoes look very nice on a foot, they are neoprene and flex very well to fit the foot. When they are on a foot, they fill out and look just like a normal shaped shoe...they should have a better picture on here to demonstrate the actual look of the shoe instead of the image on here that looks odd and deflated.

As my husband works on his dads boat often and enjoys fishing regularly he has requested a pair of these shoes as well since he likes them al much too....

I would recommend this to anyone who wants something more modern and comfortable than the traditional boat shoe. These are really neat.
