I got suckered in by the relatively low price. These shoes are not a good value. The suede leather heel collapses under its own weight. They feel cheap. I have buyer's remorse and wish I would have ponied up the additional cash for a quality shoe.  If you are committed to a boat shoe and are resigned to the fact that they are all overpriced for what you get, go with a higher quality manufacturer for the extra money. I wish I had.
