These look even better in person than online, and they are VERY comfortable. Mine ran almost true to size, maybe just a smidgen large, but that allows for comfort with socks on...not always what happens with deck shoes. The great thing about these besides those qualities is that the have the deck shoe sole design built in, but they are miles ahead of comfort and foot protection than classic deck shoes are--owned larger sailboats; wore a few pair. These have an interesting design and appear to be built for longer durability than classic deck shoes--though those lasted a surprising long time. Anyway, very pleased with this purchase, although I have no info on durability actual yet.
