These boats are really good and fit perfectly. You have beautiful brown skin. The soles are really uncushioned and have little grip on slippery surfaces, but they are great for everyday summer use. Wear them with or without socks and enjoy the luxurious boating lifestyle. They look great with dress pants or even nice golf shorts. Throw the sweater over your back and cross your arms in a bun in front of your chest to complete the look. The sole is rubber and very white. I would have liked a more natural rubber color but that's ok. They fit well and look good on me and that's all that matters.
