No Complaints
These shoes look great. I have the black ones and was surprised by good black boat shoes can look. I especially appreciate the way the brass/gold details stand out. They are formal enough to wear with professional attire (though I wouldn't wear boat shoes with a full suit and tie), or casual enough to go with jeans.
I usually wear a 9.5 extra wide or 10 wide and am comfortable with the size 10.5 in these. I don't notice any discomfort after wearing them all day, even if standing a lot, but they are not ideal for long distance walking. That is by design as this is a very bare bones shoe without extra cushion. That said, they're perfectly fine for moderate walking in urban or unpaved areas. Soles have pretty good traction, too, and the leather seems fairly durable.
