"For over a year I have been searching for the ideal "boating" shoe that is versatile yet classy and I just wasn't sold with any of the Sperry's. While vacating on Catalina Island I saw these for the first time and knew I had to have them! They were sleek, stylish and exceptionally comfortable. When I returned home, I purchased them and now own multiple pairs! I just love them! My favorite are the one with stripes however I love all the looks. Also, I couldn't tell you how many people have stopped me and asked me who made them and where to get them! Also, they're incredibly versatile - from a casual Friday in the office, to cute shorts on a weekend, they're up for all outdoor activities and yes - they bring style when getting on the boat!"
