Easily the most well made, comfortable boat shoe I have had. Probably the best looking, as well. They're pricey but they really last. Four stars because of the price, but 5 stars for the shoe itself. I wear them every day, in all weather conditions, and have had my current pair for the last 4 years. Applying a little shoe cream occasionally keeps the leather looking good. Mephisto also has a refurbish program where they will re-sole the shoes, replace the insoles, and re-condition the leather for $100. Needed this new pair while my old ones were being fixed up, but refurbishing them is like getting a new pair for less than 1/3 of the price of a new pair. That helps with the initial cost. Highly recommend.
The shoes arrived on time. I liked the shoes, but were too large, so I took them to the store in Corte Madera on Sunday, August 12, and exchanged them for a pair of Mephistos and a pair of Eccos. I received excellent service at the store and love my new shoes. The salesman who helped me at the store was very helpful and patient and worked hard to find me two pairs of shoes that worked very well.
