Sebago Docksides Boat Shoe

I have had Docksides before and found them a good shoe - comfortable to wear. The Sebago shoes arrived on time and I was looking forward to wearing them for a sailing weekend I had planned. I had read in the reviews that they were small fitting and accordingly I had ordered a half size too big. I was disappointed to find that the left shoe was so small I couldn’t walk in them and it caused pain if I tried. I returned them and asked for the same shoes but in a further half size bigger. The shoes came on time, a full size larger than I usually wear. The left foot was still so small that it was painful. I decided to persevere with them as this was the second pair and I really like the look of the shoe so I wore them around the house over the course of the weekend. The left shoe was painfully small and tight across my big toe, the right shoe fitted but was approaching the size which would become slack with wear. The only thing that was achieved was a very painful foot and I decided enough was enough. These Docksides were clearly unfit for purpose. This is a great shame as the shoes looked very handsome, but handsome is as handsome does.

Extremely tight at the back, it's definitely a flaw in the design. Made a gamble and thought I can break it in instead of sending it back, but it's so bad it doesn't seem possible.

Excellent description of shoe resulted in a satisfied customer

Lovely shoes but beware - sizing is actually US, not UK as listed, so will be too small. Really irritated by this.

Superb will be buying more
