I am actually very impressed with these Florsheim boat boots. At around $50 I wasn't expecting that much as most other boats are more expensive. The soles are excellent, the stitching is superb, the leather is top notch, the insole is soft and expensive looking, and the lining seems to be made of soft leather, which surprised me too. When the lining isn't foamed, this is the first time I've been fooled by synthetics (synthetics sometimes last longer than leather), even though I believe it's leather. I also found the size to be true to my actual size. walk. Jimers
