"Out of the box the shoes look good and well made. I am a little wary that the internal lining may not last too long though. From the description I had expected a leather lining, but it is synthetic and my experience with these linings is mixed. I bought my normal size and discovered that there is very little spare room, although the next size up may be too large. The most worrisome part for me, however, is the lack of arch support - not uncommon with deck shoes, but I will be fitting a different insole."
