Not suitable for rowing!

Boat shoes must be slip-resistant on the boat when wet! These shoes are fine as long as they are not on wet surfaces. Sailing this week I have literally (dangerously) slipped across the deck every time the deck got wet. These are new shoes. I have worn many Sperry shoes and they are not suitable for boat use. Not sure why they are so bad as it seems they should hold on.

Pros

Great shoes for sailing - boat racing! I wear light socks so they stay fresh and my sailing shoes don't "stink".

Cons

Although Sperry is a well-respected brand, some consumers have reported durability issues with the Shock Boat Shoe, including wear and tear after just a few uses. This can make shoes a less than desirable long-term investment for some buyers.
