1.0 out of 5 stars Real Deal Boat Shoe.. Not really that great., May 4, 2010

I got the shoe in a timely manner. I ordered them because I was in need of a good outdoor shoe that was breathable, something for the summer. At first they seemed very comfortable.. At first.

I wore them every day over the first weekend after getting them. Went to the lake that Sunday.. got them wet and they performed pretty well. The major flaw is the strap that goes around the back where the pull tab is. It dug into my achilles tendon and left a tender mark for a few days. The sizing was right and it fit comfortable so I knew that wasn't the problem. When I was sitting still I was fine. but when I was walking.. that back strap would alternately chaffe and tighten around the back of my ankle with each step. I was set to go on a very light hike the following week and was looking forward to wearing these, unfortunately with it digging into my tendon.. I had to go with something else. I still wear these shoes.. just not for more than a couple of hours at a time. I would never walk great distances in these and if you want to order these for that purpose I suggest you buy something else. I guess since they are a boat shoe, they were intended for light use (not distance) but even than, after wearing these for a few hours you will notice the same discomfort.

I recommended these to a few friends the first day I had them. That was a mistake.

Got a pair of these from Amazon a couple months ago for $19 (and free shipping), they have sure gone up since. I needed a boat shoe I could wear while on my hands and knees scrubbing the non-skid surface of my sailboat. Doing it barefoot wore holes into the tops of my toes so I needed toe protection in a water-sandal like shoe. For the price I decided to gamble on these and I lucked out. Perfect for the job but also very comfortable. Look like a committee of dunces designed them but they do the job. Not worth $75 though. Up to $30 is about right.
