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.....

Sperry Top Siders come in several price ranges. The cheaper ones are not
that great in my experience, but I found the more expensive ones were both
comfortable and long lasting. Last time I bought a pair they were about
$150 bucks.
