For a few dollars more…
For a few dollars more than the cost of the big competitor’s boat shoe, the Quoddy is by far the superior shoe. Everything about the materials speaks quality. The construction is okay, but could be better for the premium price. The right shoe’s upper is ever so slightly misaligned on the sole, causing the shoe to look a bit… “off”. Not enough to return it, but QC should be better at this price point. Also, be advised: Quoddy’s Wide sizing is narrower than the other big names’ sizing so if you need a really wide shoe this won’t suit you.
Overall quality worth the few dollars more.
