I love boat
shoes and have a few pairs of Sperry TopSiders, but these have a more stylish look to them, with many different solid color choices! I bought them in the tan, and absolutely love them. The only downside is that they chewed up the backs of my heels every time I have worn them, but hopefully that will pass in time. I love that there is rubber on the toe, so that when I stub my toe (and notice that I say "when" not "if"), the shoe will not wear too quickly in that one area. They are also super breathable, my feet don't sweat terribly in these
shoes. I also feel as though I could wear them to work (I work in a hospital) and also wear them on the weekend and have them fit in both situations. They're pretty true to size, but if you have wider feet, don't be afraid to get a size up because they get narrower toward the toe. Overall, a really great price for a high quality shoe. I expect them to last a very long time and stay very comfortable all year-round.
