Bought 15 Wide. They hurt my feet when I first put them on...2 weeks later, they are now just uncomfortable. Not wide at all.

Ordered one size larger than normal and still way to small!

Although I do love the boat show, in my size 14 M it felt to bulky. You need to offer a narrow width in my size. That would be perfect.

Ok, so I've owned probably 9/10 pairs of Sperrys over the years. However this is the first pair where the shoe liner won't stay in the shoe. Given I'm not wearing socks, so the liner sticks to my foot when I remove my shoe and I have to replace it every time, which is completely annoying.

After wearing these shoes for school only they started to fall apart within 3 months. I took them to a local shoe repair and had to have them restitched. They are now better than new and we haven't had a problem since.

I've changed. For decades I was a reliable 9 1/2 W and now I'm an extra wide. Sperry has very FEW extra wides while other companies are drowning in extra wides. Let there be ex-wides please.

I have been wearing these shoes for 40 years. I don't expect to get the same quality that I had in the 80's. However, every year these are less and less than the year before. But the price is still the same. Now this Bangladesh model has the stamp on the inside of the tongue as some cheap tacky sticker. And the foot bed/insole is a joke, you can see it is not adhered and the stitching is questionable. And the scarring. You don't even get a decent form inside of the shoe. What can I do, I like the billfish. Shame on Sperry.

Inner sole is loose and not fastened. I can pick it up from base of shoe. It would seem that it should be more permanently sewn to the inside of the shoe.

I have always had to chose something else to get the right size. Never the one I want in the size I need. This time was no different, but I didn't get 9.5 in an extra wide. I got a 10 or maybe 10 1/2.
I still didn't get what I wanted.

Same great shoe as always. great fit. When they get wet your feet will be orange. Guess another brand making shoes for Madison Ave types. I used to get years of use out of a pair and now they only last about a year before the seams start falling apart.

I got these shoes not even a year ago. I only wear them for work. They have developed holes and the sole wore out super fast. I have had previous pairs that lasted me two years at a time but this most recent pair only last me 6-7 months.

Air-mesh upper panels poorly made, they started ripping with less than 1 year of casual wear and quickly became a very casual pair of around the house work shoes. Disappointed in this line, their others wear so well.

bought a pair of Sperry Billfish Boat Shoes 9M and the laces are way too short and I cannot keep them tied. Due to my left arm being paralyzed someone must tie them for me and when no one is home with me I cannot wear them. I have owned Billfish for many years and this is the first time I have had this problem. Please help me, thanks

I have a few pair made in china that are good. I have one pair made in Viet Nam and the size and quality is poor.

I've been wearing Sperry shoes for twenty years plus so I understand the typical wear and use patterns one might expect from products from this normally quality oriented source. Usually I can get 6-8 years of hard use from a pair. Regretfully these Billfish shoes have not performed as well as expected. The mesh (a great idea) has worn and ripped on both shoes after just a couple years. As I continue to wear the shoes the rips are just getting worse. Very disappointing performance.

I have always ordered, in any shoe, a size 12 and depending on width I'd go from there. Unfortunately I believe these shoes were mismarked. She show itself was approximately a full to a full size and a half too big. Sending them back and hopefully ordering another size. I do hope they'll fit

I have been wearing Sperry Billfish shoes for years. They are one of the few boat shoes available in an extra wide which is great for my 3E feet. I received these and there were some minor cosmetic changes but overall they seemed similar to previous versions. However, that changed when I put them on. The shoe fits like a normal D width shoe. I called Sperry customer service and they said nothing had changed with the cut of the shoe; they just needed to stretch out. Since I have owned these for years I think I know how these should feel new. Something has definitely changed. Previous versions I would give 5 stars however because of the narrow fit I have to down grade the current version.

Left shoe has never fit right. Either a poor design or a problem with the product. I have sent them back twice. Still a problem.

My husband has had these for 10 months, wore them a dozen times at most. The bottom us separating from the side! Such a disappointment.

I am not happy with them. I tried the 10.5 Wide, but the were too short. I kept the 11 Wide, but they feel too loose. I probably should have tried the 11 Reg. The right heal rubs and I cannot wear them without socks. I also do not like the feel of the leather tops. They seem more like plastic than real leather. These may be buyer issues, make sure you are 100% happy before you wear them outside. I was in too much of a rush.

This shoe was much too narrow for my foot. I placed it next to the Sebago Clovehitch 2 and it was about ½ inch more narrow. I couldn't get it on my feet without much pain. Too bad because it is a very good looking boat shoe.

I was delighted with my first pair. Very comfortable and lasted well. In fact, I was so pleased I bought a second pair when the first did eventually wear out. While the second pair was just as comfortable right out of the box, I was sadly disappointed with the quality insofar as the sole began to separate from the upper within about 2 months of non-daily wearing.
I am debating buying another pair (they are super comfortable) and sending this current pair back to see what happens.

I agree with the previous reviewer that these have a quality problem. After wearing mine intermittently for a year, they have a large rip in the side. While they lasted they were good shoes, but clearly sub-par construction.
