Sebago Women's Spinnaker Boat Shoes - Classic Comfortable Leather Deck Shoes for Sailing, Walking & Casual Wear

I wrote a really in detail review TWICE and Amazon lost it while trying to attach the photo?!@$#! Third time was the charm. Fix that Amazon please.I purchased these through Shoe Summit with Amazon fulfillment - all good with excellent early morning delivery from Amazon.This is a great quality, very attractive boat shoe.I am a true size 8 (longest foot is 9.5 inches long and 3.75 inches wide). I bought size 8 and they fit perfectly.The leather is nice quality, smells great, and the stitching is tight.The heel is 1/2 inch and the sole 1/4 inch. There is a glued in insole which runs from the heel to the front of the foot arch. The ball of the foot does not have an insole.The shoes were initially tight - I had to unlace them to slide my foot in - and have now fitted beautifully to my foot and can slide on and off without unlacing.Sebago is manufactured by the same parent company that owns Sperry. Sebago, from what I have read, is considered the higher quality brand with better materials and workmanship. Certainly compared to the Sperrys I tried earlier this year (that I liked but the stitching rubbed my foot) these are far superior quality with thicker leather.I bought the black and beige because of the pricing - at $30 before tax - it seemed a reasonable price to test an unknown brand. Looking at them with my wardrobe I realize these will go with pretty much everything I own from shorts to dresses so it was a fortunate decision.They are very comfortable.Absolutely recommend these shoes.
