Description
A boat shoe carries its history on the outside: the moccasin stitch, the low profile, the shape that came off the water. In suede the whole thing relaxes, softer at the edges and warmer in tone. Mediterranean suede, soft from the first wear, with a full leather lining that settles to your foot, all on our own sole.

This advice comes from customers who wear this model and how they rate the fit.
Material info
Suede is cut from the underside of the hide and sanded to a fine, velvety nap. Ours is true to its name: tanned on the Mediterranean by Gruppo Mastrotto in Arzignano, Italy, an LWG Gold certified tannery, and Sanchez Agullo in Alicante, Spain, LWG approved. Every hide is inspected on finish, colour, surface and thickness before cutting. Quality shows in the nap: short, dense and even, with deep, uniform colour that gains character over time.
Care
- Brush regularly in the direction of the nap
- Protect against water and stains before first wear
- If wet, let dry naturally, away from heat
Removable insole

DS01 - great shoe
Love these. Very versatile for different occasions. Started with suede and have just bought leather for winter.

Fit: Runs large

The style is different, and that's great. It looks just like the photos. It runs a little large. I usually wear a 42.5 or 43, but size 42 fits me well.

I love this shoe brand! The only thing that could be improved is the delivery date selection! My order is delivered to my work address outside of office hours! The options are limited...

Smart casual boatshoe
Great shoe if you like an alternative to the classic footwear underneath a pantalon. Wears well, good quality. If between two sizes choose the smaller one.

Sleek design and high quality
Great shoes—I'm really happy with them! I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars, but since they creak and squeak so much (hopefully just at first), I'm giving them 4. Truly high quality!

Complete
I was hesitant to order the shoes online, but there are good tools available to help you order the right size. The shoes themselves fit great—I danced all day at a wedding and didn't have any sore feet; the sole is great. The fabric and design are high quality. Highly recommended :).

Great look and feel, but be mindful of the size.
The quality, the look, awesome. The sizing on the other hand, is totally not as described. The built in calculator told me to get 46 (I have wide feet and usually have a 45), but when I got them they were massive. Returned them for a 44, but even this still feels big. With an extra sole and some padding I was able to fix it, but I’m afraid I won’t wear them as much because of this.

Sturdy Shoe
These shoes are very stiff and hard, and they gave me blisters the very first time I wore them. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone with a wide foot, because they're uncomfortable and too tight.

Horrible horrible horrible customer service
As I had the shop app installed on my phone, the product got ordered against my intention without asking for details/address. I immediately emailed but of course got an AI agent respond saying sorry, too bad. I explained the situation but no one cared. Never coming back, and making sure none of my friends do too. What a horrible experience which could have been easily solved by a simple cancellation. And then I had to pay 7euros and waste an hour of my time to return the product. Terrible.

Shoes was exceptional but a replacement issue
The shoes are incredibly comfortable and of excellent quality. However, the delivery process was disorganized and error-prone. After I had to return them for a different size, it took about a month before I finally received the replacement. That simply isn’t good enough.

Nice shoes, run small, no returns
The shoes come in very elegant packaging and look high-quality. Unfortunately, I had trouble with the return because the 14-day return period was calculated from the date the package was dropped off at the post office in the Netherlands. I contacted customer support but haven't received a response yet.
