Men’s Quoddy Head Boat: Made to Order

While I haven't worn them many times yet, so far, this is a really nice pair of boat shoes. The leather is comfy and soft, and they give off a nice, rustic, casual look. The soles are nice and grippy.

They are a pretty unstructured moccasin-style shoe, so they aren't supportive, and I don't recommend them if you'll be on your feet and walking a lot.

In terms of sizing - here are some shoes I successfully wear:

- New Balance 880 running shoes in 10.5 D

- Allen Edmonds in 10D in their 65 last

- Cole Haans in 10

- ECCOs in (EU) 42

- Carmina in (UK) 9 in their Rain last

Based on comments, I sized up a bit and got these shoes in a size 11. This size felt great out of the box.

Perfect fit. Very comfortable

Beautiful. Major upgrade from typical retail boat shoes. Perfect, true-to size fit. Worth every penny.

Love the whiskey color…very unique. Only issue is I ordered ‘wide width’ and shoe feels like a standard Sperry topsider size, which is a standard D width. I always try to support Made in US products and although the craftsmanship is there, the only thing custom is the colors and finishes not so much the fit.

Before I learned about Quoddy, I was buying from all of the usual suspects....they were all good-looked good but never felt like I was wearing a quality/well designed and constructed shoe-one season and done.

When my first pair of Quoddy Boat Shoes arrived, it was love at first sight.

The pair that I'm writing about, arrived two days ago and, as expected, when I wore them and walked all over Manhattan today, my feet felt great--for me, no break in required with any of my Quoddys
