These boat shoes are too cute, but after wearing them around the house, I noticed that they were very painful around the grommets on tpp of the shoes. I had them stretched and they seemed that the grommets were rubbing my foot less. I went walking with my kids and what a mistake! I had blisters on top of my feet and on my heels (only after about 2 hours on my feet and not walking the whole time). We had to go home because I was in pain and ended up wearing my shoes with the heels folded under my feet. I would however still recommend these shoes but warn my friends and family about the need for break in period. Too bad I thought I was totally over wearing boat shoes that I gave my sperry original away -- they were very comfortable bec they've been broken in.
I normally wear a 6 and I took a 5.5 in these, which were fit perfectly except for the above mentioned problems.
Thrilled these come in wide width. I have a really wide toe box and struggle to find shoes that fit. These are comfortable and great for casual wear with jeans. They go with just about everything.
