I order 2 pairs of 14 regular width, The one pair fit perfectly (maybe a little too wide) but the right shoe of the second pair seems 1/2 size too small. Wasn't worth the effort of returning but its a chance you take ordering on line. Best advise is to go to a retailer and try on. My problem was that no local retailer carried size 14.

These are my go-to summer shoe. They are easy to slip on, fairly lightweight, and enough insole to keep my comfortable.

One of my son's (men's size 9) actually requests to wear them and prefers to wear them to a prior brand. The other son, (wider foot) not so much, but the youth didn't come in wide width. He does like how the leather is soft and 'gives'. Wonderful accent to many wardrobe needs this summer, long and short pants, dressier and casual events.

Ordered the green pair and dark brown. The green looks nothing like the picture in person. The dark brown looks great.

These boat shoes are comfortable, but they require breaking in. At first, they rubbed on my big toe and hurt my skin. After a few days walking with them, the rubbing issue seems to be gone.

I bought these for my 14-year old son. I didn't want to buy them at first, but have to admit that when they arrived (promptly, I might add), they looked very stylish and of great quality. They smelled great, like that new car smell, but with shoes! I think they are a great alternative to dressy shoes, you can wear them dressy or more casual. Very stylish; my son is loving these. The only reason I rated them a 4 instead of 5 is because they are too expensive.

Minus 1 star for the pad in the heel. I have incredibly bad feet and the newer style shock absorbing heel does not work as well for me as the older billfish. The older ones had a very conformal heel that distributed pressure well. The new shock absorbing insole has a lump under the heel that actually creates a pressure area instead of conforming to the heel. These are still my favorite shoes, and still better than any other brand of shoe, but I still wear billfish that are several years old when I need maximum comfort. I hope Sperry goes back to the conformal insole and and gets away from this gimmick.

I ordered a 9.5 Extra Wide (EEE). When I opened the box I thought I was sent the wrong pair. The label however clearly says extra wide. I tried them on regardless. The length is actually about half a size larger than what I'm used to for a 9.5 yet the width is actually as narrow as a regular width shoe, or even less! Couldn't believe it. I actually often wear a wide at 9.5 so I was shocked that the extra wide was more narrow than that. Showed the shoes to my roommates who agreed they looked narrow; not wide at all. Bizarre. I've since looked at some other reviews and see that the wide sizes on this shoe are in fact NOT wide. It's a shame- it's such a great looking shoe!

I wore these shoes for almost every single day between the end of 2010 to beginning of 2012. Let me tell you I would have worn them forever had the soles not worn out. And that's the sign of a good shoe.
I'm a college student. I live in an area of Florida where it's rainy all the time and with these shoes I had no problem walking between classes in the pouring rain, through the mud, through the grass, etc. The shoes, at least when I bought them, were built to last. The stitching never gave out and the leather never tore.
However, probably because I wore them so much, the inside soles began to unravel, revealing the rough materials underneath and eventually my feet were rubbing against that. That's probably because I put them through so much use however.
In contrast my dad, seeing that my sperries had worn out, gave me some new, "durable", "good quality shoes." They appear to have been made of leather upper but they weren't boat shoes or anything, more like hiking shoes. the soles ripped right out of those things while I was playing kickball with some coworkers. I guess I was expecting them to be as tough as the billfish.

Loved the look and fit of this shoe. However, the interior, upper seams located on the on the outer edge of both feet (close to small toe area) cause rubbing discomfort. Have worn them several times but does not appear to be getting any better. For relief, I have to place bandaids on each area. This is the major disappointment as my foot is narrow anyway and I don't feel it should have been a problem with a non-narrow size.

The shoes arrived as scheduled, fit to size, and met my (very high, based on prior experience) expectations. Somewhat pricey -- should have but could not wait for a sale.

I purchased these Sperry brand boat shoes because I own another pair that have lasted several years but have gotten a bit worn out to wear in public settings. These newest Sperry's were bought to replace the old ones. They look and feel great and go with just about any clothing I wear.

I bought these for my son and he loves them. Only complaint he had is "out of the box," they were a bit stiff and he got a blister on the heel when he didn't wear socks and walked a couple miles in them. They're broken in now and he loves them.

I buy a new pair of Sperry boat shoes every year and relegate the old pair to boat work shoes. For the past two years I purchased the Billfish and both pair blew out the mesh on the outside edge. This makes them quite uncomfortable, and unsuitable as work shoes. This year I purchased the Sea Kite (314399118) in the hopes that the leather band in the middle of the mesh will preclude this problem. I'll let you know next year.

GREAT! I absolutely love these shoes! They are so comfortable I could wear them all day long and my feet never hurt. Definitely a great decision to purchase these shoes! If looking for longevity a suggest getting a half a size up.

The look of shoes are fantastic. I will just warn potential first time Sperry purchasers about the "Sperry's Heel" you will suffer with for your first week or two or wearing. You just have to get your heel used to the wear and the leather all greased up from your skin then you are good to go. Great looking shoes with a wide variety of outfits.

Great shoe that sperry Billfish. Great style and they almost go with anything. Great for boating, or just simply laying around. My only concern is that the shoe runs a little big, with the leather stretching and all. Also you really need to buy leather care gel with these shoes as they will get unsightly stretch marks eventually. Overall these shoes are the best in boating and I would buy another pair any day. Good luck with yours.

These are great. A couple of complaints. The insole becomes detached from inside the shoe after a short period of time. As long as the shoes have the leather insole they are awesome, with the cloth version that I returned of the same style the shoes are not as comfortable and do not repel foot odor as the leather does, these shoes are meant to worn without socks so they should be constructed as such. I have two pair regardless and love them!

I find them to be a great shoe overall. My only complaint would be my right shoe rubs on my heel. I haven't worn them a lot so I think that after break in, they will be fine.
