I've been wearing Sperry boat shoes for over a decade now and this shoe is no exception in quality and style. The only thing I didn't consider when buying these shoes is that the insoles are made of a fabric that absorbs moisture and takes longer to dry when wet. I recommend wearing invisible socks with this shoe. If you don't like socks, choose A/O with leather insoles. If you wear them on a hot summer day, remember to put cedar shoehorns in them and wear them every other day to keep them from smelling.
