Customer Reviews Sebago Docksides

For me the Sebago's fit better than the Sperry's. Initially, the shoe was stiff. However after a week or two of breaking in. These boat shoes became very comfortable even without soxes.

I blew it and ordered a medium shoe when I should have ordered a wide. What was I thinking? Your wonderful return policy allows me to exchange for the right size when the wider shoes come in in February. I do wonder if a 12 1/2 might be better, as this is a pretty stiff shoe, but that is a size you don't carry at present. Surely I can't have wildly BIG feet!

For a while I thought I would never be able to wear Sebago Docksides boat shoes again. And then I came across Zappos online, placed an order. I was amazed at how quickly my order arrived, true to Zappos' commitment, so I placed another order for two pairs of Sebagos and again within a week, that order arrived. I am very happy. Thank you Zappos family!

These shoes are really great. They are noticeably sturdier (and I think better-made) than Top Siders, with more arch support as well. I would recommend trying half a size down if you plan on wearing them without socks. They are great shoes!

Love these shoes, however the inner foot liner wasn't glued down properly and started to hurt the ball of my foot... took them to a cobbler and they fixed it. No biggie, I would order Sebago again. The fit and quality is very good. Took the advice of other reviewer and ordered a 10 1/2 vs an 11.

I love the style of this shoe! It is well-constructed and heavy-duty (and thus a bit hefty, actually). But on the comfort scale, it scores only medium-low. It chaffed the back of my ankle at first, but now it doesn't bother me. Still, the comfort does not impress. Perhaps it will soften over time. I still wear them because of how slammin' they look.

These are well-made shoes. I find they have a little less support and a less sturdy sole than a pair of Cole Haan topsiders I loved. No problem at all breaking them in. Be sure to get the right size and bend/break down the back of the shoe before wearing it.

Great shoe, comfortable and good looking!

A great shoe and I'm very happy with it right out the box. The quality of the leather is superb and has a great feel. Though the leather is a bit stiff I have not had the break-in issues that most have commented on. I wore these for days right out of the box with no chaffing issues -- perhaps this is a matter of biomechanics? The only downside for me is in the cushion of the insole. There's moderate heel to mid arch cushion but nothing in the front of the foot bed. As I walk I tend to push very much off of the balls of my feet and this shoe had my toes and the balls of my feet aching after walking only a couple of miles. Overall this is an awesome shoe for the style and the quality of materials and build. However, it is not as good for walking as some other makers of boat shoes I have tried.

Arrived on time and nicely packaged. Product fulfilled exceptions from ad. As with other comparable, the weight of these shoes is more than expected. Needs a little "breaking in". Good product.

Ordered these for my husband as well as the Sperry Authentic in Sahara - basically the identical shoe. Both ran true to his size (10M). The Sebago leather was shiny and stiff which would mean weeks or months of breaking-in required. The Sperrys were much more supple right out of the box. His preferred the Sperrys so going to send the Sebagos back.

This was my first pair of Docksiders. Nice looking shoes but the leather was so stiff and squeaky. It's hard to imagine they could soften up enough within a reasonable amount of time. I had owned another brand of boat shoes years ago that I could not get to stop squeaking, so I decided to send these back rather than invest money, time and frustration in getting the Docksiders to be quiet and comfortable. Too bad because otherwise I really liked the shoe. I do appreciate Zappos' free return shipping!

These shoes run big! I'm a Nike sneaker size 11.5 (with socks) and I had to downsize to 10.5 (no socks) to get a comfortable fit. Maybe I just have unusually thick socks. These shoes aren't very cushioned! If you walk a lot, you should consider something else. That being said, they're nice to look at.

My feet kept rubbing when I was barefoot. These sites should be made to be written barefoot and it was very uncomfortable and left blisters. The quality is very good and if you wear these with socks, they are an excellent pair of shoes. But they didn't fit the need I intended for them.

I've had the dark blue docksides back in the 80's and i love it more than my Sperrys. I fell in love with saddle tan color so i ordered one; I was so disappointed when I got it. What is shown on screen is not color correct. It is a bland tan!

I like the look and the feel but they leak. I cannot even wear them on wet grass. Very disappointed.

Terrific shoes. The only drawback is that they hurt like hell the first couple of times you wear them. I got some truly aching blisters on my heels, but it's worth it in the long run! After a couple of wears, the shoes are now perfect!

These are the most annoying pair of shoes I've ever bought. First of all, they feel larger than the marked size, so be prepared to gamble on that. However, my main problem with them is that they squeak loudly on every step. I don't know how anyone has not mentioned this. I wore them around for a whole day and the squeaking did not become any more subdued. Instead of finding my own fix for this, I'm just going to try to return them. At least they look good.
