Classic athletic shoe styling and comfort with the addition of superior grip on wet surfaces. Ruggedly constructed of leather, mesh, and rubber, this breathable performance boat shoe takes you from a wet and slippery deck to the yacht club without a second thought. The insole is EVA and features drainage channels for quick-drying action. The outsole is non-marking with razor siping, deeper water channels and screens that keep debris out, but let water drain away.

I bought these untested & unreviewed for Charleston Race Week. I compared to Sperry and others and took the chance.
The grip was excellent even on a wet sloping deck. The open mesh drainage in the bottom is a great feature. The dark rubber toe protection offers scuff protection as well as better grip. The fit was good both with and without socks.
