SperryMen's Billfish 3-Eye Boat Shoe

I bought the Sperry Men’s Billfish 3-Eye Boat Shoe for my dad as a Father’s Day gift and he loved it. It is a perfect gift for my dad, who is a fan of boating and fishing. He said it is the most comfortable and stylish boat shoe he has ever worn.The shoe is made of high-quality leather that is durable and water-resistant. It has a classic 3-eye design that gives it a timeless and elegant look. It also has a 360-degree lacing system that allows him to adjust the fit and secure the shoe. The shoe has a padded tongue and collar that provide extra comfort and prevent blisters.The shoe has a rubber outsole that is slip-resistant and shock-absorbing. It has a wave-siping pattern that enhances the traction and grip on wet and dry surfaces. It also has a molded EVA cushion midsole that supports and cushions his feet. The shoe has a removable footbed that is breathable and antimicrobial, keeping his feet fresh and odor-free.The shoe is very easy to care for and maintain. He just needs to wipe it with a damp cloth and let it air dry. The shoe does not fade or shrink, and it retains its shape and color. The shoe is also very versatile and matches well with any outfit. He can wear it with jeans, khakis, shorts, or even a suit. It is perfect for any season and any occasion, such as boating, fishing, walking, or working.I highly recommend the Sperry Men’s Billfish 3-Eye Boat Shoe to anyone who is looking for a stylish and comfortable boat shoe that can be worn for any occasion. It is worth every penny, and I am very satisfied with my purchase. It is the best boat shoe I have ever owned, and I will continue to buy Sperry shoes in the future. Thank you, Sperry, for making such a great product!

Good price for this product!!

First of all, I have owned several of this Billfish model over the years, as well as several other Sperry boat shoes. I use them primarily for walking, lots of walking, at the Jersey shore, in Florida and in winter in Canada. Hiking on pavement, sand, gravel trails, you name it. I weigh over 300 pounds and am hard on shoes. I read reviews from other people here and want to makes sure that readers recognize that it is the Billfish 3-Eye Boat Shoe that I am reviewing here, not the ultralight version, not the classic boat shoe with minimal sole and leather laces.1) The Fit. I have experimented over the years with different sizes. I have three closets full of shoes, and they are reliably size 11D. Except for the Sperrys. They come small. This is not only my experience, this reflects the experience of many friends who have them. On the other hand the leather uppers stretch with use. For example, I bought from Amazon size "11.5 M". The sizing information provided by Amazon was confusing, but I think this size marking printed on the tongue corresponded to 11.5D. It fits like a glove. Literally. I have to keep my toenails trimmed if I expect to wear them, and they need a little bit of stretching for my toes, but they will be fine. They are exactly the same size as my last pair, suitable for bare feet. If I have any sock beyond a bare thin one the shoes are uncomfortable - they might get better with time, but right now they are for bare feet only.So I decided to order another size. Amazon did not have a selection in stock, so I found another site that sold me a pair that was listed as "11.5E", but "11.5W" is what is printed on the tongue (W means Wide in Sperry speak). They are more comfortable, and will be the ones I will go to when I wear socks. I was tempted to order the 12 D model, thinking that the 12 size in that width might have the width of the 11.5W, but I am glad I did not.My advice would be to get three different sizes in under the Amazon "try them on" program. That is assuming that they have the size variations you want. They do stretch, but they should not be painful when you first wear them.2) The Design. I settled on the Billfish 3-Eye because I wanted something more versatile than the classic boat shoe. I like the cushioned sole - when I switch to a classic boat shoe with a quarter inch rubber sole I really miss the pleasant feeling of these. I like the ventilation on the sides, as my feet get hot ( I even like the ventilation in the winter). I like the padded tongue - some shoes can hurt me on the top of the foot after extended walking. The laces seem indestructible - not like the leather laces on the classic boat shoes that look great but are always untying or breaking. As far as "arch support" goes, my feet are fairly flat, and I don't find shoes that give arch support so comfortable. I do a lot of walking in them and they are comfortable for me. Probably the support they give is minimal, but beyond the nonexistent support of the classic Sperry boat shoe.3) Quality. The shoes I bought through Amazon are made in the Dominican Republic, the ones I bought elsewhere are made in Vietnam. The construction is the same, although the Dominican ones have a very slight color variation in portions of the leather - only can see it close up in good light. These shoes have the "glued on" soles, not the sewn on soles of the classic boat shoe. Some reviewers have said that the soles separated from the uppers early on. I have had shoes that have done that, but never with any of the Sperry Billfish I have owned and used over the years. In fact they have held up extremely well - by held up, I mean I have worn them until the material in the heel area has worn away, exposing the foot bed, and then eventually that wearing through and exposing my heel to the payment. I walk a lot and am hard on shoes. Sometimes if I am lazy I will knock down the backs and wear them as slippers to go out and get the mail - easy to slip on, uncomfortable, but the shoes survive without a sign of distress.So in conclusion, make sure this is the model you want, choose the right size for you, and you will not be disappointed. If it falls apart unexpectedly (something that has never happened to me with the Billfish) complain often and hard, even if it is beyond any return period. That is the only way companies can learn if something they are using or doing has to be improved.

I like the color, but they are a little discolored. They are cushioned at the heel and are comfortable because of that.

Comfortable and sized right. Good grip on wet fiberglass boat deck, although prior experience with same brand is the soles become slick after 2 or 3 years. This is due to gradual hardening of the sole. Sanding the sole with 60 grit will restore the grip for awhile: a year or so.

I purchased my normal size and even after breaking them in still really tight in toe area. Quality is great but watch sizing.

I like everything about sperry shoe comfortable great walking shoes

Other shoes can be lighter, but this remains balanced between firm under foot and light enough for wearing for a long time.

The all time best boat deck shoe

Shoe fits perfectly and is wide fit as stated. Wonderful quality and a good looking shoe.

The size 9 is a bit tighter/smaller as compared to other size 9 shoes I bought from Sperry but fits better and more true to size. Other than that I find it is a great shoe that fits great and comfortable for a very good price. I would buy them again.

Era lo que yo quería y son muy cómodos ! Muy recomendable para quien busca un calzado cómodo

Pues los zapatos están muy bonitos y en cuanto calidad diría que son echos con materia prima de alta calidad y con una presentación excepcional !! Ya tuve otros náuticos sperry y por eso compré estos y la verdad es que estoy satisfecho con el producto.
