I've owned 4 pairs of these wonderful shoes over the past 20 or so years. I couldn't find them for the past 5 years so was trying others. But when I saw these on Amazon, I jumped at the chance to own a pair again (and at a great price!). Excellent build quality and amazing comfort. The soles are especially great because they are non-slippery as you expect from great deck shoes. And I know they will last as long as the others.
