Customer Reviews Sebago Docksides

These are great. Took a bit of time breaking in at first (would wear socks) but after a few years, they've gotten more comfortable. These take a long time to look scuffed up though (probably due to the higher quality leather used) so if you're looking for that look on boat shoes though, then this wouldn't be the best option. Goes well with khakis, shorts, and jeans.

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!

These are nice topsiders. I have been wanting a good pair for the last two years and I am glad I made this choice. The seams are of good quality, no fraying threads. Totally satisfied. Also I have a flat foot and sometimes that is a problem, but these work.

I have worn boat shoes for about 50 years. I have tried them all: Sperry, Dockers, Sebagos, and several other lesser known brands. In spite of the slightly higher cost, Sebago Docksides have outperformed and out lasted them all...You get what you pay for! And Zappos has the lowest cost!

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.

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!

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.

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 boat shoes and I needed them ASAP. As always Zappos delivered at twice the speed of sound and as always, Sebago Docksides fit perfectly.

Great shoes. Very well made and great materials. The last pair of these I had lasted for many years.

This shoe is a replacement for my very favorite eight year Old Timberland blue moccasins that I have walked off the soles. My feet are very wide and this shoe should probably have been a EE width rather than an e, the latter being the widest that Sebago makes in this style/color. I like the look enough to have bought it but I am stretching out the width myself. So, if your foot is very wide, this shoe might not fit width-wise. The staff was very cooperative and sent me an additional pair for fit. No questions asked. First class service.

Love them, but needed to use anti-blister stuff because my foot kept rubbing. The shoes don't come broken in.

My favorite boat shoes were a discontinued Sebago model so when I needed to replace them I stuck with the brand. These shoes are classically styled, which is nice. What wasn't so nice was the break in period: I have never had a pair of shoes that took longer to break in. That includes Frye boots, old school leather hiking boots, etc. I was in pain, daily, for about a month and a half. If I hadn't worn them outside I would've returned them rather than endure that break in period. Even after that was done they were never what I'd call comfortable (compared to other boat shoes I've owned). Other minuses include the leaky soles (no waterproof-ness here) and about a year in the stitching near the lower eyelet as torn out. Wanted to love them but ended up just living with them.

It's hard to compare these to other boat shoes since this is my first pair. Sizing wise, I typically wear 10.5 for most shoes but I decided for a size 10. It actually worked out for me since I only planned to wear these with/without thin loafer socks. First wear, the leather was pretty stiff and a little tight in the toe area. It took a couple wears for the leather to finally break-in and mold around my feet. The leather also stretched enough where the small tightness in the toe is gone. Otherwise, they are comfortable as heck and look good with everything. I do plan to pick up another pair in a different color.

First off these run large -- anywhere from a half to a full size. Second, they're stiff as the top-side of the deck. Third, if you want comfort right out of the box, go with some Sperry Top-Siders. They've gotten negative reviews but man, they fit like a glove. These Docksides are top-notch quality, but like many reviewers noted, are uncomfortable.

Take a pair of Sperrys and upgrade them to high-quality leather and double the arch and heel support and you've got yourself a Sebago Dockside. These are my favorite boat shoes. I prefer them to Sperry. I can walk around all day in these without pain or feeling like I'm wearing a "boat shoe." Only downsides: 1. They take a crazy long time to break in. The leather is not forgiving so wear socks with them for the first month or bathe them in hot salt water overnight and beat them with a baseball bat, otherwise get out those band-aids for your ankle. 2. They never really wear out. (Why is that bad?) Well, Sebagos have incredible durability. I've had a few pairs for quite a few years and they literally look the same as when I bought them. This is awesome unless you're one of those who needs the saltwater stained grungy look to make your boat shoes feel authentic. These hold up so well it's going to take awhile to make a Sebago look "worn." If you're looking for shoes that look broken in, go Sperry.

I was very impressed with Zappos. Excellant variety and great prices. I received the shoes less than 48 hours after ordering them for my husband.

My experience with Zappos was great! My son loved the shoes, and I love doing business with Zappos!

Very good quality. The Sebago shoes that I ordered are very well made, and also very comfortable. The service from Zappos was outstanding, and have have placed an additional order. I am sure I will place additional orders in the future.

A fly shoe. Significantly thicker, better-quality leather than Sperry Topsiders; doesn’t appear wide and clown-shoey, but definitely is more comfortable in width for my wide feet than Sperrys as well.

I just purchased a pair of Docksides for the first time (my first pair of boat shoes ever) and they are incredible. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase; the fit is very nice and true to size, they look and feel great and are definitely worth the money. Zappos shipping was fast and FREE, gotta love that! I would certainly purchase products from this site again, I'm very satisfied.

These are a comfortable, casual shoe with good fit options. For a larger foot size (we bought them in a 13 wide), there are not a lot of shoes available, and these were similar to a fashion brand that didn\'t carry the size we needed. They came in 3 widths which was more than we expected.
