    Worn these a couple of days now and love the look. Starting to break in well after a couple of wears. Can be dressy or casual. So glad these came back in stock! Nothing beats American Made!

    Comfertable and durability

    I used these my entire honeymoon. Walking throughout Boston, Salem, and Gloucester Massachusetts. Not only was the comfert top tier after averaging 15 miles a day. These shoes look like I just got them. 10 out of 10, I recommend.

    Regular width too narrow

    I normally wear 11.5 wide. I followed the advice for the boat shoe and ordered the 11.5 regular. When they arrived they looked and smelled great. Unfortunately the regular size is just too small for my feet, my toes were bunched together like vienna sausages.

    Hi Randall,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about the AMERICAN BISON BOAT SHOE, and we sincerely apologize that despite following our sizing guidance, the regular width was too narrow and caused uncomfortable bunching for your feet.

    Your specific feedback about the regular width being too small even when following our recommended sizing advice is valuable information that we'll share directly with our footwear design team to review our sizing guidance for customers who typically wear wide widths, and to consider expanding our width options to ensure we're providing proper fit recommendations so customers can order with confidence and receive boat shoes that accommodate their feet comfortably from the start.

    Your insights about the fit issues help us recognize where we need to improve our sizing options and guidance to better serve customers with wider feet who want to enjoy quality American-made boat shoes.

    Comfy kick arounds

    These are really nice shoes that do not take much for a break in. The down side is that there is almost no arch support in these shoes, and since the leather in sole is sewn in place, a standard arch-supporting orthotic cannot be placed inside. I am still looking for a 3/4 size insert that will support my arches with this shoe.

    Hi Erik! Thanks for the detailed feedback about the AMERICAN BISON BOAT SHOE. We're glad to hear they're comfortable right out of the box with minimal break-in needed - that's exactly what we were aiming for with the bison leather construction.

    We really appreciate your honest assessment about the arch support and the challenge with fitting standard orthotics due to the sewn-in leather insole. This is valuable feedback for our design team to consider as we continue refining the shoe. Your experience with finding the right 3/4 insert is something other customers might relate to as well.

    Thanks for giving them a try and for the thoughtful review!
