I like these boat shoes. Their quality is quite good, I'd say comparable to Sperry or even better (depending on styles). The design of these shoes (glossy patent leather upper, detailed stitches, etc.) makes them easy to wear and somewhat dressy, depending on what you'd pair them with. I can even wear them with casual business attire--it's fun for me that way. For the fit, I'd say they run narrow for wide-feet individual (like me). I usually wear 7M-7.5M in loafers, mocs, and find that the 7M (width: 3.25&#34;; length: 9.5&#34;) in this style does not fit my wide feet well although the length is perfect. Due to the design--where the upper meets the outsole, the actual width of the footbed inside the vamp is less than the width of the outsole! Looks can be a bit deceiving at times. If you are considering buying this style, and if you have wide feet like me, I'd suggest you go one size up from your regular loafer sizes. If you have narrow feet, I'll suggest to go with your true loafers sizes.
