Not for Daily Use
These shoes were ALMOST what I was looking for. Stylistically, they were on point. But after 2 months, the laces had to be replaced because they had frayed beyond use. After 8 months of daily use, the toe-end of the soles have worn through completely (my socks get dusty if I walk through dust).My expectation was for shoes that would last as long as my Sperry Topsiders (lived through 6 years of daily use). Sometimes you really do get what you pay for. While the quality of the leather remains excellent, the style is classic boat-shoe, and the fit is right-on, the soles have not withstood even a year of daily use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Fit and Finish: Very Happy!

Was looking for something to wear with shorts because I prefer not to wear sandals all of the time anymore. They also look good with jeans and the air vent helps a little to keep your feet cool. The shoe is comfortable and seems to have good build quality for the price.

If you have FOOT ODOR when wearing normal shoes without socks you will probably have to wear socks with these as well. The Sheec No Shows in grey worked well for me and you can only see them from the top of the shoe.

Good buy overall.

I got these shoes in the gaucho color, which is somewhere around dark gray, dark brown, etc. They look great as a semi-dressy pair of shoes. I can wear them with khakis, shorts, jeans, and they always look great.

Pretty good fit, although it takes wearing them a few times for them to be worn in and to find the ideal tightness of the laces for you.

Overall a nice pair of boat shoes in a color besides brown that was exactly what I was looking for.

I bought these to replace an old pair of Sperry dock shoes that had seen better days, The Dockers fit better and I really like the 3 eyelet design. I can now adjust the fit for various situations, and in fact they now fit me nearly perfectly! I got the slightly darker brown color and boy will they hide any dirt and stains better than the lighter colored Sperry's did. There are more comfortable, look better, have a more comfortable sole and cost a lot less. I am very happy with this purchase and wish I hadn't waited so long!

Nice quality leather shoe, but unfortunately the size is way too small, as compared to what I regularly order. Very narrow too. Item was returned. Refund sent. Cost me nothing but my time.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good looking shoe at a great price

I purchased a pair of size 14 because my previous pair of Topsiders were finally destroyed. Not by 6 years of wearing them for everything but work, but by the puppies I thought had grown out of the chewing on shoes stage. Since this was an unexpected replacement I preferred not to spend $90-$100 and when i saw these by Dockers for $55 I quickly made the purchase. The shoes are cofortable to walk in and breath well, however unlike the topsides the insole is made of fabric not leather (this may not turn out to be a negative since I image they will be easier to clean). The shoes themselves are or a much stiffer more rigid leather than i ever remember Sperry's to be, but at half the price a lower grade of leather is to be expected. I'm sure as they wear and age they will soften up. I've had them 2 weeks and have not regretted the purchase yet. They effective replaced my eaten Topsides at a great price.

I saw quite a few complaints about uncomfortable fit prior to the shoe being broken in. I didn't experience that at all. Was a great fit and comfortable from the first day. Many of the folks who complained said they weren't using socks, and I am wearing socks with them, so maybe that is the difference. But I've had a great experience.

I went out on a limb because the price was so good. I'm glad I did! Great fit! Great shoe! Great price! Quick shipping (prime member). I'll be less skeptical in the future. Make sure you know your foot and how they fit in shoes... I even did a little homework by going to stores and trying on similar shoes to see how they fit and how the sizes worked. Set yourself up for success!

I purchased these as a Christmas present for my husband. They fit perfectly and look great. There is wonderful detailing and they were considerably less expensive than the same brand in local high end stores (ie: Macy's). We cruise a lot and often the dress is "smart casual" and these shoes are the perfect thing for such attire.
