Seafarer Yachtsman Leather Boat Deck Shoes Sizes 7-12

These are good value for money, however don't expect to be receiving a pair of shoes of Timberland quality. I believe an earlier review mentioned the colour not being as shown, I would agree. I had hoped to receive a pair in the lovely golden tan shown in the photo, they are though to be fair as described, brown.I ordered my normal size 10 and these seem a good fit so no complaints there. The laces are fine for me also - not too short. The big difference I have found with them from other deck shoes I own is in the sole. My other deck shoes I have currently, from Timberland , M & S and Decathlon all have a rubber sole with razor cut grooves. These Seafarers do not, they are of a lighter weight with moulded "grooves" and in what seems to be a composite material.I don't want what I've said to put people off. I am fussy. If your'e after a cheap and cheerful pair of deck shoes that look nice and fit OK. then these will be fine.

They might look a bit scruffy and battered, but I have only just replaced my original pair after 12yrs use, I have to a say possibly the best pair of deck shoes I've ever had. They are comfortable, very hard wearing. Even after 12yrs they look incredibly good with a bit of polish and a buff up.

A good looking shoe at a bargain price. Yup, too good to be true. After wearing the shoes for around 3 hours, indoors, the stitching around the outside edge of the upper failed on one shoe, leaving a hole about 1.5 inches long along the seam. Unwearable, obviously.I told the suppliers about the problem and was asked to provide a photograph. Even so, there seemed to be some reluctance and delay in getting my refund., leaving me a little unhappy with the process.In summary- poor quality control led to my getting an unwearable product. You might be luckier, and at the price, it might be a risk worth taking.
