Outstanding shoes for any sport, or outdoor activity that you have water involved that is going in your feet. your feet dry out fast due to the sides letting the water vent through and dry.... The soles are non-marking so these are on the BOAT ready.... Thank you

These are great shoes, they look great and feel comfortable on. My only complaint is they start to smell after a little bit when wearing without socks.

Very comfortable and light. its a little bit rough in the inside if you put it on bare feet. But very comfortable if you use a pair if socks.

This shoe fits very nicely, I have tall instep and they don't cut into the top of my feet. They could use more arch support but are good for all day on the boat.

Very well built Shoe. Easy to put on and take off. Excellent Grip. Have not dumped it in the water yet but looks like it would dry very quickly. No arch support in it, yet I still find it comfortable and I have a neutral Arch.

Fit fine, maybe a little loose. Pretty comfortable. Material and features are substantially less than the previous PfG shoes I already own. Bought these specifically trying to replace my existing PFG model shoes for boating and to wear around the lake. These shoes are okay, but you can tell they went to great lengths to make a low cost plastic version of the prior model. Wish I could still buy the old model, as they were a great shoe, but are 10 years old.

Material is just okay, not that great. When you walk you feel missing something at the back of the shoe. The size is running little bit big. I wear size 7.5-8, this one fits me size 7.

I love the shoes, they fit and are reasonably comfortable. They could use some extra cushioning but they are ok. The quality appears to be great and the outsole appears that it will last longer than competitors. What I can't get over is the smell. I wear them without socks obviously and the smell horrible almost instantly. I don't have this problem in any other shoes I own, not even waterproof hiking boots or 8" black leather wildland boots with wool socks. Anybody else have this problem? I've tried taking insoles out and hand washing them, helps a little but not completely.

I bought this pair along with another in a different color for a beach vacation. For some reason, this pair is a tighter fit than the other. My guess is that instead of the size 11.5 wide width that I ordered, I got a size 11 labeled 11.5. I would have returned them for an exchange if I’d had more time before leaving for my trip. I can wear them, but they are snug. I would advise ordering these as far in advance of any travel as possible, so that you don’t get stuck with the wrong size like I did. I’m sure this is a fluke because the other pair I received fit perfectly. I’m a bit disappointed with what I received, but live and learn.

The size length was a 1/2 or full size bigger than normal (9/10 of my shoe brands fit me perfectly in my normal size) and the upper of the shoe is very generous. the tops of my feet must be pretty skinny. I would have to have very chubby tops of my feet in order to have my feet fill up the upper of the shoe.

I want to like these and they're convenient for slipping off and on. The sides are just so flimsy feeling though and they don't quite look right while wearing. I think my foot pushes a bit to the outside due to the flimsy sides and it makes the shoes look crooked.

I really liked this shoe. It's comfortable, breathable, and just overall a pleasure to wear. Unfortunately after 6 months of use, they have begun to fall apart. The stitching is coming out of the seams on the left shoe and it looks really bad (see attached photo). If you get a pair that lasts, you're in luck because overall they are nice shoes.

I purchased the shoes for 2 reasons. 1. They are all rubber bottoms with no plastic covering like other shoes. 2. My 84 year old father can't tie his shoes by himself anymore. The shoes were great until he walks around for a long period of time. He said he can literally feel the bottoms of the shoe. I worry about my dad's feet since he is diabetic and also on Dialysis. He has been complaining about shoes on the market for the last 3 years and I thought these shoes would fix the problem but unfortunately, they didn't. If there was more cushion, it would solve both problems he has. Without more cushion, the shoes become uncomfortable after walking around a while. He really only walks around the yard and maybe a store so, please make the shoes with more cushion.

Shoes look great. Pretty good cushioning/feel too! Based on the look (and even the name) I was very surprised to see how how my feet became just minutes after putting the shoes on. I'm not someone that normally gets sweaty feet, but for whatever reason I do with these. I'm also not someone who has his sandals/boat shoes get that all too common stink that is impossible to get rid of (you guys know what I'm talking about). Maybe in a pair of full leather shoes after a year of wear and exposure to marine conditions, but even then its rare for me. I've worn these Bahama Vents THREE times and they have it. They're done. Not mad, just disappointed. I really wanted to like these shoes.

Not the quality I would expect for a 70 dollar pair of seasonal shoes. May-Sept. is all my husband got out of them. Faded and falling apart. He loves them but I am not happy about the high price point for such poor quality

Hi. The shoes are very nice and comfortables. I like, but after 3 o 4 time I used, the left side turn more dark than right. I don't know is was the water, or the sun. But now I cannot used because looks total different colors.

My son bought these for me for Christmas. I was looking for a good pair of laceless fishing shoes, so these looked perfect. I was going on a fly fishing trip and would be stripping fly line in a boat, and shoelaces are just one more thing for fly line to snag on. The shoes were back ordered, so I only got them a few days before my trip. I wore them around a bit just to check the comfort. Good thing I did, because they wound up giving me sores on my ankles. The plastic material around the back part of the shoe rubbed against my ankles and made the shoes pretty much unwearable. I made my own modification by cutting the plastic material back with small scissors and put some duct tape over it. That worked and they are now fully functional.

Got the shoes. They looked awesome. I was excited to try them out. I had a 4 day fishing trip planned and was ready to put them to the test. Water drains through them good and the are very comfortable. I was on my feet for 8 hours each day. Then, I was looking at them and noticed that where the top is sewed to the sides, had come loose. The stitching pulled out. Yes, I'm heck on a pair of shoes but at 3 days old I didn't expect to have any problems. Still like the shoe. I'll sew it back together and keep on wearing them.

I was very excited to order this shoe. But this Columbia Bahama vent felt cheap and as if it would not last very long at all.
