Sebago Men's Grinder Boat Shoe

This model seems to be discontinued, hence the huge discount price at the time. So I snatched my first pair from Sebago. Didn't really know what to expect.To my surprise, the shoes don't need breaking in like most boat shoes do. Since their top insole layer is made of rubber that absorb heat/cold well. Feel super comfortable for long hours, standing jobs.I wear these Grinder to work daily, 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. My Fitbit says I walk from 12k-17k/day on these boat shoes.They are really slip resistant since I work with water and powder a lot. Powder on tile floors is just no bueno. But these guys hold up while a lot of people have been slipping and landing on their behind by accident.The shoes are half-a-size bigger. It'll show when you break in the shoes for a few months. Word of advice, order half a size smaller. I put some thick heel pads for filler to improve fit and they help a bunch.After a year and a half the left side stitching came off a bit, sadly. I still wear them but it doesn't look that aesthetic to me. But that's a lot of walking considering. Great buy. I'd recommend!

I received these Sebago Grinders this morning. They're nicely made and visually appealing. The fact that this Amazon merchant wasselling them for about 75% off the MSRP did not hurt either.Highly recommended!

I had another pair of "two eyelet" Sebago boat shoes that I've pretty much worn out....never had that much luck with Sperry shoes. I have another pair of "three eyelet" Sebago shoes that I save for "dressing up". Sebagos run a little on the wide side, which is great not having to order a wide size! I think as I've aged, my feet have spread the same as my belly!

Shoe were comfortable right out of the box,leather was very soft almost like walking on two pillows.sizing was perfect. I will enjoy these shoes for a long time.Thanks to Amazon.com for another outstanding product,I will always spend my money here.Thanks,

Comfortable shoe, fits as expected. Good quality. Will buy again as necessary.

On arrival shoes felt somewhat small, but stretched out as many leather boat shoes do. However, within a couple of months the stitching began to come out on the toe of one shoe. In addition to any loss in functionality, the shoes always look sloppy with frayed edges of new stitch deterioration. Very disappointing for a reputable brand name. Certainly not the Sebago hand sewns of the past.12/07/15 update-- shoes are now ready for the garbage. Much of the stitching on on the toe of one show is either out, frayed, or hanging loosely around the toe, and the toe has opened. For some reason the other shoe is not as bad, but the stitching around the toe is just now starting to deteriorate. Only got a few months of relatively light wear out of a supposedly quality brand shoe.

This was a great deal! Solid, loafer-like boat shoe I used to wear. Now I can again. Well made. I cannot give a five star rating because I have not worn them enough yet. Fit a bit snug, which is why I went up a half size in the first place.

Great shoesI usually wear 10,5 W...in Timberland . With Sebagos I found out that 11 W or E or M form fit perfectly..!!!
