For years, I have worn the Rockport M5106 boat shoe, which they have
now discontinued. Their new line of shoes are oil tanned and are *not
nearly* as rugged as the old models. Additionally, I'm not dying to
buy "Made in [Communist] China" apparel.... so,

does anybody have recommendations for a rugged, yet comfortable boat
shoe? TIA.....

I love my Sebagos.

They seemed like a nice shoe. How doe they hold up appearance wise?
The ones I looked at were oil tanned and light pressure from a
fingernail would leave a mark....

I have the Sebago Clovehitch II, which I've been using for about five
years. To me, they look like a well used boat shoe. My wife won't let me
wear them to church though! I've tried the Sperry shoes, but they've always
left me with a pain in ball of my foot after a couple hours of standing in
them. I've never had the problem with these shoes.
