A Classic Fit With Enduring Quality
I really enjoy having a nice, comfortable pair of boat shoes to slip on with shorts, or with jeans and no socks. I got my first pair of Timberland boat shoes about 20 years ago. They have actually lasted all this time, through heavy use, sun, rain, heat, etc. They are noticeably worn though due to age, and my wife has been bugging me to get a decent looking pair. I've tried on other brands, but always felt the Timberlands fit the best.In 20 years the shoes held up fine. They breath well and never started to smell. The only thing that broke was one of the laces broke probably due to being 20 year old rawhide that just dried out, and that was just an ince or so on the lace end, and a coupel of years back the insole heel insert came up, which I fixed in minutes with glue. The sole, while worn, has lasted all these years with not so much as a crack or split, but naturally there's some tread wear!So I ordered these. They are similar in color to the ones I have now, and look close to the advertised photo. Obviously every piece of leather can vary a bit.They are all leather, and the rawhide ties are strung through the entire shoe through eyelets along the sides passing around the heel, and tying in the front. The soles are a "gum"; the sole is sort of a tan, which I prefer over the boat shoes that have a white or dark brown sole.I wanted to mention fit, as the hardest thing about buying a shoe on-line has to be the comfort and sizing. The old pair I have are a size 10, which is my normal shoe size. I rarely wear a 10 ½, and on occasion get a 9 ½ in a sneaker. I assume the times I've needed a 10 ½ it has been a poorly sized shoe.The old ones (again, a 10) fit me fine in the front and a bit snug in the heel when I first got them, from what I recall. They broke in within a week or so of wearing, meaning they fit my foot well, stayed on, didn't slip, but the heel became a little more pliable so I could slip them on with a finger tugging gently on the heel.I ordered a 9, 9 ½, and 10 in the new ones, taking advantage of Amazon's free returns on shoes. The size 9 fit on my foot and wasn't uncomfortable, but just felt really snug, like it was probably too small. The 10 fit well, but the heel felt just a tad too big and I assumed it would break in and might slip some down the road. So I went with the 9 ½. It fit well, slightly snug, and the heel stays in place nicely so I am hoping they are going to break in just like my old ones. Don't get me wrong. They are comfy right from the start and no break-in period is necessary. I just know from the style of shoe and them being soft leather they will naturally give a little as time goes on. So, if you have typically wear a normal width shoe, I would go with your usual shoe size, or maybe a ½ size down.The insole on the new pair is thicker than my old ones, which were just two pieces of leather glued in place to cover the sole of your foot. They had air holes along the instep. The new ones are one piece, have two layers, one which has form and the other which is a material-type cushion. They are not overly soft, just right. The insole does not appear to be intended for removal, but I imagine you could pry it out if you want to replace it.As far as value, price aside for a second - they lasted 20 years! If these last only a few years, its a great deal. Now, as far as price, Amazon's price for these varies a bit, but in general almost always beats other places I have seen these advertised.I am not sure if I will get the same wear out of these as the original pair, and they are now made in China, in case that matters to you. These appear to be of the same high quality as my old ones. So I am hoping these will last a long, long time.Again, my old ones lasted over 20 years, and really I am not throwing them out (sorry, honey!)

Well Made, Great Looking, Fantastic Price
For at least 20 – 25 years, I’ve been wearing boat shoes for my everyday, casual wear shoe. I like the way they look and feel. I also appreciate the way these shoes hold up. I can get quite a few years out of a pair of boat shoes before my wife makes me get a new pair. Then the old pair gets relegated to the garage for yard work.I first started wearing Sperry and have tried most brands. This time I chose the Timberland Classic Boat Shoe. I liked the way it looks. I like the fit, comfortable but not too snug. It has a nice built up arch support. The shoe is nice leather uppers and the standard rubber sole for traction on wet surfaces. I no longer am active in sailing, but this shoe is a great deck shoe.It is well made. And has the leather shoe lace.These are much more competitively priced that most other brands. I cannot tell the difference in the quality of this shoe compared to the more expensive brands. It is easy to tell the difference in the price.Looks Great, Wears Well, Fantastic Pricing.

Its tight, you'll have to break it in.
My second pair. It bought these when they first came out years ago and loved them. Decided to buy them again the leather is really nice and keeps looking good longer than some of my more expensive pairs. The shoe is tight. You'll have to break the leather in like shoes from back in the day. I wear a 10 1/2 and bought a a size 10 now it fits perfectly. This may turn some people off but if you stick with it it's a great pair of shoes. Way better looking and longer lasting because it is a premium leather.

Best pair of boat shoes out there (I'm not being payed to say this)
These Timberland boat shoes are by far my favorite pair of boat shoes I've ever owned. The fit was as expected, I wear a shoe size between 11 1/2 and 12. I got these in a size 12 and they fit great. I would recommend to wear these with no show socks because rocking these without socks could cause bad odor(I've never rocked these shoes or any shoes without socks so i might be wrong) and no one wants to smell stinky feet.Pros:1.)Outstanding quality2.)heavier shoe than most boat shoes out there3.)Rubber bottom (lots of traction)4.)The style is perfect5.) Very comfortable but can be a little unfortable after a couple hours of wearing theseCons:1.)The cushion insole cuts off halfway through the shoe and its very noticeable while wearing, only one side feels very noticeable so maybe its a manufacturing flaw.2.) The leather scartches very easily so wear with care3.)I have a thicker foot so when I do take these off, 9/10 ill have marks of where the shoe fits a bit tight mostly on the front of my foot where the tongue rest on my foot. (I do have plenty of room on the front of my shoe)

Excellent shoes. Very comfortable
Excellent shoes. Very comfortable. Before I bought these shoes, I read all the reviews. I did not understand what problems someone was having, but I got the shoes and it's all right. My shoes are made in the Dominican Republic, the left and right are absolutely identical, the quality is at an altitude.The price was pleasantly pleased. I'm looking forward to summer.Thank you, Amazon!p.s. if measured more accurately, my foot has a size of 28.8 centimeters or if converted to inches, it is 11 11/32 inches. The size of 10 M in this shoe suited me perfectly, given that I will wear this shoe without socks or with very thin socks.still I want to note that my foot width is average and is 10 centimeters (this is 3 15/16 inches), the volume is medium or slightly below average.I hope to someone it will help
