Great shoes but they changed sizing. I bought 10's last year and they must have a new mold because when I reordered more of these great shoes the 10 was much smaller than previous version. Hopefully 11's will fit and not be too big..

Not very comfortable. The rubber is hard and does not bend with your foot when you walk. Disappointed

Size 8 to small and size 9 to big, normally wouldn't be a problem if there were laces but the whole point of the shoe is to be lace less. Wish they had 1/2 sizes! Stuck with a size 8 which is to small now :(

I ordered these in red, and when they came, they were orange. I looked on the box to make sure they were not sent by mistake, and the box said red. Very disappointing when you are expecting red and instead they are unmistakably orange. They look nothing like the picture, colorwise.

good looking rubber boat shoes, but very uncomfortable. feet sweat in heat and shoes do not breathe, which makes wearing uncomfortably hot and sticky which allows shoes to rub feet and cause blisters.

The are slightly bigger than normal size Sperry products. Insoles are hard and your feet slip. Sole is fairly stiff and slips on surfaces, not "in tune" with normal Sperry products. Would not buy again.

Size runs large I would purchase a 9.5 but you don't offer half sizes. Won't order these shoes again

As much as I love Sperry, these are really the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever had. Nice looking but I can't even wear them.

Just received my order of a pair of Sperry's new Floater for men in size 8.0. one does not wear socks with this particular style so when tried on they are too big. 7.5 would be ideal but are not made. too bad. love all my Sperry's boat shoes in 7.5 M & duck boots in 8.0 M but this style does not have any love to fit my feet.

Pretty cheap. Not really boat soles. They look like boat shoes but are not.

I have the original Sperry boat shoe in size 11 so I ordered this in size 11. Not even close to the same. Very disappointed.

I read some reviews, "they run large"... Ok, I'm a 10.5 in Converse, so I order 10's... They're too small and support says they won't stretch. Return them and get 11's.. way too big. "Swimming in a boat shoe" achievement unlocked. Returning, wish they had half sizes, they look like they'd be cool in my beloved Marina Del Rey.

I should have read the previous reviews about the fit of these shoes before I purchased them. Unfortunately, I destroyed the show box the shoes came in with so I can't return them. I will end up donating them since I can't even wear these even if I put insoles in them. Yes they are that big!

size was way too big. Even after changing down to a size much smaller than my foot size the shoes still kept coming out at the heel while walking. Not comfortable and huge.

For one, you have no W sizes. My recent purchase is going back again. I tried longer, but this one does not fit. The range of choices more limited than before. There is no Billfish styles available. Guess my long relationship with Sperry is ending.

this shoe is a hit or miss because they don't come in 1/2 sizes so it can run to big or small. they are also not very soft on the inside and would not be good for walking.

These shoes were way too big. I ordered a new pair that was a size smaller and fit well. Unfortunately I could not send the first pair back. Oh well. Live and learn.

Too big for my foot and Sperry would NOT take it back or provide a refund. Shame on you.

Odd and painful fit. Hits right at the side of the foot just below the bone and quickly rubs a blister until so painful I couldn't walk. I remembered why I don't wear the first pair of "float" shoes I bought. Sizing runs super big too. Bought these for beach days, but couldn't even wear by the time I got to the sand. Sperry shoes are so comfortable and fit me so perfectly, from Originals, Gold Cup and boots (I have several of all). Yet somehow these are a total miss in the fit dept. I really liked the sea-inspired print however.

I had a pair of Croc shoes that looked alot like these several years ago. I ordered these because in the photo they looked very similar to the Crocs, which were some of the the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. These came and they are stiff and like wearing plastic lol. The photo looks like a soft rubber type of shoe. When they arrived they are shiny and stiff. They are loose and don't fit well. Sorry, I wouldn't recommend these.
