Quality has fallen off over the years. Maybe lesser quality materials, or poor manufacturing controls. Try making them in the U.S. I would pay more if It means buying them less than every two years. I wear mine several times a week and they just dont hold.up like they did years ago.

Men's size 14 Wide did not have enough shoe lace to tie knot. Husband eliminated one set of shoe lace holes and now shoe lace is long enough to tie tightly.

Fits great (athletic shoe sizing not dress shoe sizing). As comfortable as an athletic shoe but not as formal as a dress shoe. Definitely a casual type of shoe that pairs with some khakis and a polo. Nothing fancy.

The Medium width (D) felt a little to snug this time. Maybe they'll stretch a bit.

People should be aware that these shoes are quite narrow and we had to order a full extra size plus XXwide. However my husband is very happy with the comfort of the boat shoes.

I like the feel - good support, plenty of cushion. And they look good. My favorite summer shoe.

I ordered a wide width. Does not seem very wide as compared to previous Sperry shoes I have worn. It is still a nice shoe.

This is my 4th pair of these shoes but they seem narrower than before. I got the wider size and the shoe says they are wider but they don't feel like it.

It's a nice shoe, and I have worn various Sperrys and Rockports for years. For some reason, these shoes were incredibly narrow, and my 8D foot didn't get fatter all of a sudden. Zappos has been great, and I'll try again.

It's hard to recommend these days; companies get bought out by hedge funds all the time.

Great comfortable shoe with very good arch support. Only wish it was available with a dark brown sole.

This is my second pair of Billfish. I loved my first pair so much, I loved them to death. This new pair seems different. Maybe I haven't worn them enough to brake them in yet??

I love these, unfortunately, this last year was bought less than a year ago and the stitching is already coming apart. Other pairs usually last me years.

Shoes were delivered within 2 days. They were true to size and comfortable. I wish the heel area was stiffer for easier slip on. Love the color.

My son likes the look and comfort of these shoes. Perfect for school. They are a smidge wide.

I've been wearing Sperry's forever, and imagined these would be a perfect fit. What I loved about these Billfish was better arch support than a typical boat shoe; what disappointed was what seemed a narrower width than average (I'm a D). The sides of my foot were just too snug and uncomfortable -- so I've decided to go with Dunham Captains this time around.

The shoe lace material prohibits them from staying tied tightly

Foreign made. version of a Sperry boat shoe. Each time I need a new pair the replacements are made in a different country. The quality of materials seems to be slipping a tad with each version, but still one my favorite everyday shoes. Probably a good idea to by spares now.

The inserts/inside of the shoe wears poorly. Turns dark and eventually I had to remove them altogether. The outside of the shoe wears well and after they break-in the shoes are comfortable. Sperry, I would revisit the insoles/inserts you put in your shoes. I have had trouble with more than one pair's (and style's) insole.

the shoe was a bit tight but I expect it will stretch out with wear. One issue, the inside stitching on the right shoe, where the top right side rests on my foot is causing some irritation, hopefully it will soften after some use.

At first, they were a little stiff & uncomfortable, but, after some wear, fit great. This is my first pair of Sperry shoes, so that may be typical.

Comfortable fit, great support, and durable. Just replaced a five year old pair that's a bit worn but still functions as a work shoe! At 81 I have foot and toe problems-this is one of the few shoes that give me the desired comfort and support.

I think it fits a size too narrow.
I usually wear 8M but the right shoe was too narrow and the left tolerable. I ordered an 8W and it fits a bit wide on both feet, but better a bit wide, so I kept the 8W. I like the color a lot.
