Customers overwhelmingly praise these boat shoes for exceptional quality, durability, and comfort. Most describe hand-sewn leather, sturdy stitching, and traditional craftsmanship that improves with wear, with many expecting years of use. The leather softens beautifully after a short break-in period. However, reviewers consistently note the shoes run large, requiring sizing down by half a size or more, and some report the fit is too wide or narrow. A few mention rough seams causing discomfort, lack of cushioning for extended wear, or color transfer when wet. Despite minor fit and construction concerns, most customers consider them reliable, long-lasting wardrobe staples.
I bought these Leather Mocs in dark blue. They are gorgeous. Very soft leather, lightweight and no break in time. My husband loves them.

Not as good as it used to be
Used for: Casual or Every Day
This was a replacement of the exact same shoe that I got 15+ years ago. This pair does not feel that they are of the same quality. And the footbed is less comfortable.

Size issue.
Overall, nice shoes. a 1/2 size too long and narrow. Needed a bit more care on finishing the inside.

I envisioned the shoes to be a softer leather, like a Sperry Top sider. They are stiff and harder to break in. For me, they are not an "everyday" shoe.

Quality shoes, but run a little large
Used for: Casual or Every Day
These are very well made classic boat shoes. They are like what the big brands used to be back in the 80’s before they started just glueing piecework together. I really like them

Used for: Casual or Every Day
Two things are wrong. First, the laces just will not stay tied. I don’t know what kind of coding they put on them, but they just come loose all the time. Second, the dye in the lea
