Review on Stylish and Durable: Columbia Ancient Fossil Bright Indigo Men's Shoes for any Occasion by Charles Adelaja

I've started buying boat shoes since last fall. I now have at least 8 pairs total that are suitable for dock or boat service. This pair of Columbia Low Drag PFGs is my new favorite. APPEARANCE: I went for a dark blue/orange color scheme. You have great style, which is important to me. You look sporty and fit. I wasn't sure how I'd like the translucent band that runs down the outer front of each shoe between the outsole and upper, but it looks nice and should increase durability in that area. I like them so much I'm going to buy another pair in a different color. COMFORT: These shoes can be worn all day. I wear them on seasonal boating projects so I walk around the marina, docks and on the deck of my boat. Also, the drive to/from the pier takes between 45 minutes and an hour one way, so it will take a long time. I never came home and immediately wanted to take these shoes off. They breathe well and keep my feet comfortable when worn with a no show sock. I'll probably shed my socks in the summer heat and rely on a messy upper to keep me cool. FEATURES: Lots of wet surfaces and various treads around the marina. I board and disembark the boat via the dock steps, which requires a bit of gymnastics due to my lift. I'm always confident when I put my foot on any surface. When I hose down and wash my deck or go into the engine bay, I know I won't slip. A small issue is that one of my shoes has a very small area of wear on the outside of my right foot. Maybe it's a manufacturing error, but it's also possible that I caught it somewhere, although I don't remember it. However, the rest of the shoe is very well made. The stitching is tight, the laces are very light, and the loops on the back of each shoe are strong and comfortable. I will keep an eye on this wear and tear issue and update this review as needed. All in all a solid purchase.
