These are my first pair of boat shoes. They are very flexible and comfortable - they feel almost like they are not even there sometimes. The inside is velvety soft. These shoes certainly smell like 100% genuine leather. Other shoes have an artificial synthetic chemical smell. They also have good breathability.

I wear these strictly at the office. I feel one drawback of these shoes is they are too flexible (specifically the sole), lending to poor support. I have had issues with foot, leg, hip pain when wearing shoes with poor support. I did some intense walking in these and had some ankle/foot soreness.  I will stick to wearing these while stationary. One cosmetic grievance i have is I'm not a fan of the white color base sole (its on all the shoes). I wish they had just colored it with the corresponding shoe color.
