Australian Style Boat Shoes - Deck Shoes

Only arrived yesterday, (ordered using prime so next day delivery.) So these are very much my first impressions........ I am a UK size 8 /42 so that is what I ordered, and they are a good fit. They appear to be well made (time will tell). At the moment they are very stiff and not very comfortable, I'm optimistic that they will become more supple with wear. Obviously I thought that the price was reasonable co's I bought them. They are going to be worn a lot over the next couple of months so I will update this review when I have really worn them in. But for now I am pleased with my new shoes.Updated :I have had these shoes for a while now and they still aren't really comfortable! I haven't worn them as much as I thought I would (prefer to wear my tatty old Timberlands) the problem is because they are so narrow they rub the underside of my heel bone ( Lateral malleolus) making it quite sore. It's a great shame because they look really smart. I have not given up on them completely, I wear them for short periods of time hoping that they will eventually stretch and become more comfortable.

Good quality shoes. Well packed. Good size.

Good shoe, comfortable weight and good sole. laces however, one snapped on the third time of wearing, leaving half a lace to tie until I can get replacements (ugly) shame. maybe unlucky or maybe too thin for aesthetics vs practicality.

Lovely, comfortable too.

The shoe quality was good, so no problem so there. But the image used to sell the item was misleading. It showed a smaller top to the front from the toe to the tip of the tongue, that is what I wanted, but when it arrived it was way too long, so would come up further along the top of my foot. So they went straight back. I’m sure some people would be happy with the style delivered but due to the imagery it just meant a waste of time on my part and the supplier. If you’re going to sell remotely then you need to use accurate images, otherwise you risk returns.

Prompt delivery & well packaged. Sturdy leather deck shoes. They were slightly too long, so bought heel grips as the solution. Very comfortable for driving, walking and gardening. This used to be a very popular style of shoe and easy to find in shoe shops UK country wide, but not so recently.

Extremely good quality and made from a good leather.

This design only has two pairs of eyelets. I was looking for three pairs. However by spacing the eyelets widely apart the support seems to be OK. Comfort is better than expected and, overall, I consider these to be good value for money.
