Customer Reviews SAS Decksider Lace Up Comfort Boat Shoe

Fit (wide size) and feel great. However I hate the shoestrings; I cannot keep them tied, even double! I would replace the shoestrings but it's not worth it to attempt rerunning it around the shoe. So overall I like the shoes very much but get frequently annoyed when the laces come loose! I also own two additional pairs of SAS shoes that I like very much - one is a loafer, the other ties with no lace problems!

Ordered in my "regular" size. Length was okay but width seems too tight. This show design stretches and forms to foot typically, but was so tight didn't want to take chance and keep, so returned to exchange for the larger width, which should be arriving soon....

The shoes fit well and are comfortable. I've had them about two months, and I've worn them most weekdays during that time. In general I like how they look and feel. However, the laces untie themselves, and I find myself retying these shoes two or three times per day. I don't like dealing with shoelaces, and I wish I had looked at the Weekenders when I was at the SAS store. I have had several pairs of deck shoes that I could easily slip on and off my feet, and when I was in the store I thought I could do that with these shoes as well. While these shoes slip off easily, they are hard to slip on. If these shoes would stay tied, I would rate them a 4 or 5, but the inconvenience of having to retie them multiple times a day drops my rating to a 3 at most.

I have had these for a couple of Summers now. They clean up well and are well built. I am diabetic so the width is important as is the comfort. I only one issue with the shoe and then one minor one with SAS. There is a tendency for the shoe to rub a blister on the back of the heel so make sure that you have a great fit and/or great socks. Shoe laces.

Used the other major boat shoe brand for many years with great results. Tried these as I have wore side gore style exclusively for work for 10+ years. Bought these in same size with M width. These are so tight as to make them unwearable. Tried stretching them but no better. Very disappointed. Never needed a W size before but apparently I need to have worn these. Well made shoe, good materials but the squeeze is on!

I've bought a number of pairs of SAS shoes and this was the first pair that dissatisfied. There's no arch support; I had to buy special inserts just to make them wearable. There is little tailoring through the instep which gives the shoes a clunky appearance. The sole is soft and wears quickly.

I've worn boat shoes my whole life and these are by far the worst I've owned--a pity because I really love my other SAS shoes. One sole separated from the upper at the toe. Fixed that with some glue. Now one heel is almost completely worn away and the other one is going fast. I've owned these less than a year! Don't waste your money
