Jim BoombaAustralian Style Boat Shoes - Deck Shoes

Only arrived yesterday, (ordered using prime so next day delivery.) So these are very much my first impressions........ I am a UK size 8 /42 so that is what I ordered, and they are a good fit. They appear to be well made (time will tell). At the moment they are very stiff and not very comfortable, I'm optimistic that they will become more supple with wear. Obviously I thought that the price was reasonable co's I bought them. They are going to be worn a lot over the next couple of months so I will update this review when I have really worn them in. But for now I am pleased with my new shoes.Updated : I have had these shoes for a while now and they still aren't really comfortable! I haven't worn them as much as I thought I would (prefer to wear my tatty old Timberlands) the problem is because they are so narrow they rub the underside of my heel bone ( Lateral malleolus) making it quite sore. It's a great shame because they look really smart. I have not given up on them completely, I wear them for short periods of time hoping that they will eventually stretch and become more comfortable.

Good quality and nice fit

Good shoe, comfortable weight and good sole. laces however, one snapped on the third time of wearing, leaving half a lace to tie until I can get replacements (ugly) shame. maybe unlucky or maybe too thin for aesthetics vs practicality.

Very good fit,as well as comfortable and a good style and the size is good

The boat shoes are very well made, with great materials, design and apparent quality, but size 6 (UK) is too small, and size 7 too big. The shoes are made, and boxed to show the EU sizes, eg 39/40/41 (6/6.5/7 UK) but the EU size 40, my size, is not available. A great shame since this appears to be the best boat shoe compared to others I have tried, and good value cost wise.

Super quality but too long

Excellent well made shoes which are extremely comfortable. Hopefully they will last as long as my previous pair.

These are really nice deck shoes. Unlined and light - made in Portugal I believe. I ordered UK size 10 and Euro size 44 arrived which were too small. So I ordered size 11 hoping I'd receive Eu 45 which would have worked I think but I received Eu46 which are too big! UK10 is my usual size so guess they come up small. If there were a way to stipulate Eu45 I'd reorder - sending these back again now which is a shame... I'm marking as 'too small' as normal sizing is about 1/2 less than usual.
