I've been looking for a replacement for my old Sebago sneakers for a few years or more. I have tried all the Sperry shoes but they are too tight in the toe box on both the thumb and pinky. Sebago screwed it up and now the toe is too high so her shoes are loose. This shoe fits well in every way except for the big toe which gets constricted which will be painful with prolonged wear. I don't think they will wear out. I've been thinking about buying a shoe stretcher to see if I can get them to stretch in the right spot like I have a bump. But if I stretch them, they're mine, and if that doesn't work, I'll lose my $60.
