I originally ordered these shoes in size 9-W, but they did not fit properly so I re-ordered them in 9-1/2 W and they fit perfectly. Good looking shoes, but there is no comfort system in them whatsoever (or at least that I can tell). I have owned Sebago's, Sperry's, Rockport's, and Timberland deck shoes in the past of various styles, so I know what a good deck shoe looks and feels like. The best pair I have ever bought (in fact I have them on now) are a pair of RL Chaps that I purchased at Kohl's. I have had them for about 3 years now and other than cleaning the inside and the outside of them I have had no problems. I will only wear the Sebago's to casual events and not where there is any work to be done.
