Customer Reviews

These make great boating shoes for REAL boat workers. We work on a metal vessel with some rino lining on it for 12+/- hours every day. The shoes grip WET metal or even (occasionally) oil covered. They can be completely soaked and either bead water off, or (if immersed for more than a couple seconds) dry exceptionally quick. The reason I give 4/5 stars is: you HAVE to get used to them first. It took me only a week, it could take longer for others. what is pictured in this ad is the drawstring going out the top eyes and down towards the toe on top. there is a pocket to tuck this in so it doesnt get in the way. the laces are not fully shown, they go between a top spandex-like material and another cloth. Tightening that does NOT pull the back in, it acts just as a normal shoe would. The toe is made of rubber that is much harder than normal water shoes, more like work boots except light. When the laces pull back it pushes the area above the heel, achilles area, against a fairly firm fabric. Which is the part I am referring to with the "getting used to". After a few hours for a couple days it causes severe chaffing and a blister to possibly form. After a week of that with me i wore socks for 2 days and i had nice little tougher areas (not callouses). Also the back fabric softened a little.
All in all, if you actually WORK on a boat or are in constant water situations these are very exceptional shoes.
Also note that I could not buy my size, i went a size up, this could in fact be the cause. However it also could be that no matter the size, they still need to be broken in. They are extremely rugged.
