Rugged Shark Men's Atlantic Classic Casual Boat Shoe with Cushioned Support, Copper Brown, Men's Sizes 8-13

What happened to these shoes

Bought the same shoe about three years ago and wear them to this day. Due to a wedding coming up I figured it was time for a new pair. The shoes arrived overnight and were as advertised. Assuming they are built the same as the previous pair all should be well. So far now I am giving 5 stars. The picture is of both pairs. Aside from being faded the old pair has held up great. If an update is required, it will be done.

Very comfortable and a great value for the money. The thicker sole seems to make the shoe a little "heavy duty", but that is also what makes the sole so comfortable. I would update to 5-star after I see how they hold up for a year or so. Many deck shoes I've had look great for the first few months and then loose their shape and look terrible. I hope this pair will hold up over time.March 5, 2019: These shoes continue to hold up well and are very comfortable. The laces really are too slippery and will not stay tied. I replaced mine with real leather.

I've been buying boat shoes for the past several years, and I have to say I think I might have found the perfect one.Most boat shoes I've tried have terrible grip [more than once I've slipped wearing them on wet grass while walking my dog] and are low around the ankles, so that even with ankle-cut socks the socks show too much and looks geeky. This makes them usually unsuitable to wear to work.These shoes look awesome, they grip like champs, have god padding inside, and they are just high enough so that I can still slip them on like boat shoes without having to unlace first, but the socks stick out just a little.Plus they look stylish and rugged at the same time. I wear them with brown (Bamboo) or khaki (Top Flite) low-cut ankle-length socks and putting on shoes to work is a snap. Look and feel great.Only nit is that they seem to feel a bit narrow for my size (9.5).

I live in Florida and have been wearing boat shoes all my life. Hands down, these are the best I have ever purchased. The Rugged Shark's fit true to size, almost like a dress shoe. There is NO slip on the heel, a big problem with many boat shoes I have worn. You can wear these all day without getting tired feet. The support is AMAZING! The shoe is quality made and feels sturdy on your foot. No sloppy movement! I will definitely order another pair but probably give them to my twin brother. This shoe may outlive me. The only negative I would give this shoe is you can only choose one color but don't let that stop you from buying. The Rugged Shark's is a fantastic boat shoe. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Well made comfortable to wear

I do not know or have ever heard of Bill Dance but he most likely has a sprained ankle or is wearing a cast on his leg(s).The shoe laces on these shoes never ever stay tied. Always bending down to re tie these laces! I am going to re-lace w/Sperry topsider moccasin leather laces that I have worn for the last 45 + years. Also the nice leather laces on the sides of these shoes are not attached to anything after the enter the eyelet toward the front... 2 of mine just popped out. I thought is was broken but no, its just stuffed back behind the eyelets. Other than that, nice deck shoes and I have 2 pair.One for work ( I am a marine engineer on large yachts) and one pair for "nice". Hope you are still dancing Bill!

Rugged Shark Men's Atlantic Classic Casual Boat Shoe with Cushioned Support, Copper Brown, Men's Size 11I purchased a pair three years ago. Great shoe. Like another reviewer said, the laces are slippery and just do not stay tied. I am sometimes tempted to place a drop of glue on the knot to try to hold it tight.My pair is showing some wear in the heal area and to help mitigate this, eventually I purchased a "funnel" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075DH131H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1which prevents excessive stress when slipping the shoes on (I never untie the laces)I am very happy with both of these purchases.
