Expensive Shoe, But Worth It -
This is a great shoe. After wasting over three hours at the mall going from store to store to discover that no one carries WIDE with shoes, I came across Zappos.com and found these shoes here -- available in wide with, and ordered in a few clicks!
The packing from Zappos was good, and the free shipping and 365 day return policy helped ease the decision to buy shoes online.
It's odd that it's so difficult to get a pair of decent 'normal' deck shoes at the mall, but such is the case these days. My prior pair of decks was a 3-eye pair from
Rockport, which they stopped making of course, and I wore until they fell apart. I also tried a pair from
Timberland, which had some funky dye that blocked all the pores in the leather, and made your feet sweat.
These
Sperrys are fantastic (though I still whish they made them 3-eye, instead of 2-eye).
Anyway, thanks to the Internet (and Zappos) for making life a little easier.
I will buy my next pair of shoes at Zappos.
