Customer Reviews Rugged Shark Atlantic

I wear these shoes virtually every day in an office environment. Once I got additional arch support, they are very comfortable. However, after only a few months they are falling apart. In particular, the interior fabric is coming apart at the heel and toe. External parts are coming unglued. I usually get 9 months out of shoes like these; Rugged Shark is not so rugged.

These are very nice looking, very comfortable shoes. I wish I had never bought them! One big reason for my purchase of these shoes was the non-slip sole. I sell products to restaurants for a living and wanted shoes that would allow me to work in slippery environments. Not only are these not non-slip, they are more slippery than most everyday shoes, especially on wet surfaces. Wearing these shoes on a rainy day is suicide. Who ever heard of "boat" shoes that only work on dry or carpeted surfaces? I've bought $15 non-slip shoes with truly non-slip soles, I don't understand why a company designing shoes at this price can't figure it out. Not recommended.

These are unbelievable shoes. They are so comfortable, they look great, and I can wear them on my boat, around town or even to out to dinner with my wife. Congratulations on building a great, comfortable shoe that does not cost an arm and a leg. Way to go Rugged Shark!

I just purchased my 3rd pair of Rugged Shark Atlantics. I love this shoe. It is so comfortable, and has a wide fit. I wear them on my boat, and around town. They are sure footed and I can't believe the value. These shoes would cost more if the brand started with an S. I highly recommend this shoe. You will not be disappointed. I also love the Zappos customer service.

This is the second review I have ever taken the time to write and it's only because I am so happy with this shoe. I am from the coast of Maine and since the '80s, I have always worn the old standard boat shoe from the other folks. But in later years, like a lot of things, I noticed a change in quality. The toes seem to blow out and the sole separated from the uppers. I have had these Sharks now for 6 months and they look and are wearing great. I also wear a pair to work; I install flooring for a living so nothing has ever lasted me. I think you're going to like these.

This shoe is a classic! Unbelievable comfort and value. I am going to buy them in the other color as soon as I can.

My old mans favorite shoes. I bought them as a last resort to give him for his birthday 4 years age. He and waits on pins and needles just awaiting his feet to begin causing issues. That first night he said he felt like he was walking on pillows with the perfect support. I loved it, I went from where I lived to Tallahassee 40 miles east than went back and headed 35 miles now and 20 west is a town called Marianna. It happened to be the only pair in my 250+ day trip that I could imagine him wearing.

Most comfortable, and longest lasting shoes ever! My feet never hurt when standing on them 12 hours each day!

Very, very comfortable and stylish shoes. I highly recommend these if you spend a lot of time on your feet.

Go For It! This is an excellent shoe that is well constructed, extremely comfortable, and an outstanding value. I would term the shoe a hybrid as it is well suited for both dry and wet applications, with the wet side an obvious design feature as they appear more a "boat" type style. The soles are rather thick, but for comfort, weight (extremely light), and durability, you can't go wrong.

Great shoe, needs minor improvement - Love these shoes, second pair. First pair had the heel cord come through the back. Should be covered in leather. Second pair has same fault. Otherwise, love the shoes!

Great all around casual shoe - This wears well as we have already gone thru several pairs. Good sporty look with heavy sole for comfort and shock resistance.

Rugged Shark the best boat shoe` No other shoe that tries to combine style and function can match the rugged shark's comfort and durability. I have owned many pairs, and they actually never go away - just the soles eventually wear out. They don't look like the rest, and they are like wearing pillowed bedroom slippers. Hard to find in stores, but Zappos keeps them around. Also, if you like a certain style, get 2 pairs, as they seem to change a lot.

Sharks satisfy - Rugged Shark Atlantic is a great shoe. I bought my first pair last year and was very pleased. In fact I took them oversea with in February where I expected to do a lot of walking. They were great. Probably the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. My second pair was only necessary to change the color since the first pair refuses to wear out.

Boat Shoes - I bought a pair of Rugged Shark Exhuma and they were the most comfortable shoe that I have ever had on. When I went to buy another pair, there was none in stock so I bought the Atlantic and am very satisfied with them. The Atlantic, to me don't look as good as the Exhuma but are just as comfortable.

Under Appreciated Sharks - Some years ago I bought a pair of Sharks through a catalog. I was very pleased; the comfort was wonderful, the construction was such that the shoes lasted several years of heavy wear. Since I didn't remember the catalog, I googled "Shark", found your website, and ordered a new pair. They are equal to my first pair.
