Yeah, I had the same experience with Sperry..... it always felt like I
had a rock in my shoe....

Me too, until I tried the more expensive pair. They are very comfortable
and no pain after wearing them for a while. My only complaint is that
Mrs.E. won't let me wear them on the few occasions that I put on a suit.

(which isn't very often, anymore .... weddings and funerals only)

The real question is do you wear them without socks. They were meant to
be worn au natural.


A few summer days fishing with no socks will result in the smelliest pair
of shoes known to man, and the smell won't come out. It may look cool, but
it's a good way to stink up a boat!


My Rockports only last a few years. I actually put foot powder in the
shoes, and have never had a problem. My wife would let me know if I
did. I don't go fishing, so that might be the problem.
