At first glance, these are classically beautiful shoes for men. We don't "boat" and what we do doesn't require shoes, but I was thinking more like office wear etc. Despite the nice packaging, it's not leather. Just thinking about my own experience with shoes, I have a feeling that they don't last long/wear well, especially if they get wet a lot. They have some unique details and fit my husband quite well. We have concerns about the texture of the outsole, especially since we live in a rainier part of the country and tile and concrete floors often get pretty slick. It has more of an orange peel texture than a true profile. Maybe it was typical of the original - I just don't know.
