Excellent shoe; quick and easy transaction with Zappos. I have short wide feed and have a hard time getting shoes the right size in stores; Zappos makes it easy for me now.

I bought these for my 16 year old son who is about 6'5", in size 15 4E. He has flat feet, and weighs about 230. His feet are so big, I have to buy 15's in most shoes, but 14's are actually long enough. That said, he loves these shoes. They are comfortable and stylish, and that is hard to find for him. If you have really big feet, Dunham brand is great. Also, I marked "moderate arch support" because the shoes have more than "no arch support." But it is not moderate, it is perhaps "mild arch support" but that wasn't an option. The cushioning is great.

This is the most comfortable boat shoe I have ever worn; right out of the box, day 1. Excellent size and fit.

My boyfriend has very wide feet and suffers from plantar faciitis. When he walks he rolls his foot inward requiring Good Feet lime green insoles in all his shoes which helps the plantar fasciitis. The roll bar technology in these shoes really helps keep his feet from rolling inward and he found that he did not need the Good Feet insoles, he was amazed. He can be a 3EEE, or a 4EEEE, with these shoes he is a 4EEEE. He can be an 8½ or a 9, with these shoes he is an 8½. He loves these shoes and wears them everyday!

Bought this shoe for my husband (mid 50's) because he has wide feet and high arches and typical boat shoes do not fit well. These are light weight, have nice arch support and like New Balance brand, available in various widths. Lining is similar to sport shoe so probably not a good barefoot shoe. Best worn with low profile socks.

The shoe is very good looking, sold at a reasonable price. I am most impressed with the speedy service that Zappos provides as well as the free shipping both ways! It's a pleasure doing business with them...and so easy. Thanks, Zappos!

Superb shoes that fit like a glove. I wear a 7.5 EEEE, and rarely find shoes that are as comfortable as these. Usually boat shoes take a year or so of breaking in before they are comfortable, but my Dunham Captains were a great fit right out of the box. To top it off, Zappos service is beyond compare.

Here I've been paying all this money for Mephisto and Dunham has quietly brought out a boat shoe for a third of the price that feels, walks and looks as good as anything else out there. The smooth leather one is ingenious and beats all the rest at any price. Kudos for Dunham (New Balance) for this shoe! Oh. And it's your street shoe size, not your athletic shoe size.

Great shoe! Very comfortable and the fit right out of the box is fabulous. I wear a 4E and these fill the bill perfectly - and they look good - comfort is my main concern - I am a big man. Of course shopping Zappos is just amazing - never a problem with them.

I like the style of these shoes. Some people insist on "real" Sperrys and call these fake, but I find these to fit great and are remarkably comfortable. Disclaimer, I wear orthotics for my flat feet, but in terms of length and width, these are great. And they are built with quality. I've only had them a short time, but I think they will last quite a while. I highly recommend these if you are in for comfortable "boat' shoes.

As always, Zappo's has the sizes I need, especially wide. These sizes are not something you can buy locally. When as a child and had larger shoe sizes, and took some kidding from my friends my Mother would say: "It takes a bigger foundation to build a church than it does to build an out-house." I am glad to find a place like Zappos. Think wide!

I have wide feet and always have trouble getting shoes that fit. I am planning a trip to Europe that will involve a lot of walking and needed something comfortable. I was apprehensive when the shoes arrived that I would be sending them back. But no.They felt great. I put them to the test on some practice walks and they were wonderful. I am so happy.

Very nice shoe, sharp looking and comfortable. Normally, I order a 10 1/2 in order to get enough width, but I ordered 1/2 size smaller because the 4E width was available and the fit was great.

My husband has very wide feet, and these shoes in 1 6E are the first shoes in years that he can wear with comfort! The delivery was very quick and the shoes are high quality. We will return to Zappos for future shoes of quality that fit!

The boat shoes were as described. I have extremely flat feet and the extra wide fit very will with my orthodic inserts. They are very comfortable and look very stylish.

I usually wear these shoes every day. The comfort is great and the style is ageless.

Far superior to all other boat shoes I have previously purchased. Well made with quality materials. Mesh vents on sides near sole allow for water drainage and the laces are functional adding to a ore secure fit. They also offer some arch support.

As soon as I put these on my big feet (size 13 EE), I knew they'd be my go-to casual shoes. The look and feel great. Sperry can't match the comfort of these guys; the Dunham Captain trumps them. Highly recommended.

The first pair of shoes I ordered didn't fit as I had ordered the wrong size. The return process was so easy and efficient. I got the new pair right away and they fit perfectly, are comfortable and are very good quality. I wouldn't hesitate to order my next pair of shoes from Zappos.

Knowing that they run large from a previous purchase, I ordered one size smaller than normal. Beyond that abnormality, this is my second pair of this style.

I've never put a shoe on that was instantly comfortable before. The fit was excellent in every way (I ordered a wide width). The most important attribute to me in a boat shoe is comfort, and I completely forgot I was wearing them during the first day. Also, it's rare that the product looks better than the photo, but in this case it did. The leather looked rich, and the quality of the other items indicates it will last a very long time. Completely satisfied in every way, great shoe.

If you wore/wear Sperry and are discouraged with the drop in their quality then switch to Dunham. Comfort, fit, support and quality.
I wear 11.5 B width so I have a terrible time finding shoes that fit. Not a problem with the Dunham Captain.

I have very wide feet - hard to find shoes. Ordered a 12/4E - too large. Ordered an 11/4e. Perfect. Nice shoe - good grip (actually used for boating).

My husband is particular about shoes. He has a wide foot. We ordered these for him in 10.5 width 4e. He loves them. He says that they are comfortable and roomy. Proof is that he wears them constantly! We finally had to order a second pair because he won't wear anything else.
