Dunham Men's Shoreline Boat Shoe

My husband likes this shoe. It is sturdy, and made well. He has had several pairs over the years and they have a good long life span. He wears them until they fall apart, but they last about 5 years. What we appreciate is the 4E width. Not many shoe makers make them this wide. So it is a pleasure for my husband to wear. Would recommend. But they are very pricey compared to other similar shoes.

One thing I really like about Dunham shoes is that I can trust they'll fit my feet. I have fairly large, very wide feet (14 EEEE) and most shoe manufacturers either only make a medium width, or their "wide" isn't wide enough. I wore New Balance for years, then discovered the Dunham brand. I own several pairs of Dunham shoes now and they're all comfortable enough to wear all the time. One remark about arch support. I have fairly high arches and while the Dunham has a decent amount of arch support for most feet, they fall slightly short of the mark for me. I don't consider that to be Dunham's fault, they're serving those with more normal feet. I've had so much good luck with Dunham and New Balance shoes that I took these on a business trip without breaking them in first and wore them almost daily during a six day conference where I was on my feet and walking around the expo hall at least four hours a day. I did have to work to get the boat shoe's laces tight enough. Since they're made of leather, I didn't want to break one, especially since I first wore them when I was away from home and had no way of getting a replacement easily. Since my return, I pulled them tighter and didn't have any issues with the laces breaking.

Runs large; I ended up exchanging for the next size down, but that next one fit perfectly so all's good. Very nice, basic boat shoe. Looks good, feels good, very easy to slip on and off. Leather is pretty good quality. Prices vary wildly between the absurd list price of $130 and the rock-bottom but only sporadic sale price in the low $50's; be sure to get the latter (as I did on Amazon) and you'll have gotten a shoe that punches over its weight class cost-wise.

I wore it in New York City for a little walk after dinner and it"s really comfortable. I plan to replace the insole with Dr. Scholls gel insoles to make it even more comfortable. The Brown is good color, although it's on the darker side. But it's quite okay. No problem. This boat shoes are well made. It's 99.99% recommendable to those who admire boat shoes. A classic styling with a little twist.that will look sharp with your Khakis, Denims or town shorts, whether casual or semis. I prefer wearing boat shoes with black no-show socks in hot humid weather. If weather's fine i suggest no socks. It's the natural-cool way of wearing it. You guys know that!

the shoes themselves were great but their quality control needs work. The shoes arrived with one of the inserts missing. Also when I went to tie them up one of the leather laces broke. It was thin at that spot so the leather lace was poor quality. I bought new inserts and had to tie the lace together with a knot. However, with that said, the shoes themselves are very comfortable and I highly recommend them for comfort but check them closely when they arrive

Have been wearing the same size New Balance shoe & boots for years & realized that they were causing heel issues so I decided to switch brands... I assumed that this shoe would be the same size. NO WAY! They were a FULL SIZE too large! If I'd known these were by New Balance I'd never have tried them. The heel area angles IN and stresses the Achilles tendon. Altho this has nothing to do with the shoes per se = another thing that ticked me off is Amazon's return system... they DO NOT credit you when you return them... they wait until they have them in their warehouse. Back to Zappo's I guess.

This is a top quality shoe for $52.20. The normal retail price is $140 as listed on several different sites and this brand is typically not discounted. The Amazon price cannot be beat. I wear a size 4E and these shoes are true to size and extremely comfortable. This is the first pair of Dunham shoes I have purchased (I have purchased Rockport in the past which owns Dunham). This is now my go to brand.

These were bought for my husband. He wears size 15 4E. They fit perfectly! Not only are they wide enough, but they fit well around the ankle and arch of the foot. He likes how comfortable they are. He prefers flip flops, but is excited about the fit and feel these have. There was no struggle to put them on as there can be with some shoes and wide feet. The quality is excellent and appears durable. We are both excited about the nice look and overall quality of the shoes.

With little foot measurements to go by on the Amazon or Dunham site, I ordered size US9.5 which is what I usually use for my Nike and ACIS trainers. The pair arrived unfortunately far too large. If I had to make a guess, i am a Dunham 8.5 with 262mm feet / Brannok measurment at US9. In retrospect, i should have taken cue from the Dunham site that matches size US9.5 with Eur 43. 43, is generally not a size I wear for non-sneakers. These comparisons are always a bit tough. The Birchbury shoe size chart I just used (another shoe I just purchased) match US10 with Eur 42! What makes the fit more difficult is that the laces of the Boat shoe design are further away from the ankle, thus making the loose feeling worse. The shoe itself was splendid, the quick walk around the house showed it to be a well padded, (for a boat shoe) shoe that had nice leather. it was a pity to see it go, but I hope to try again soon after my return is processed. Might even be inclined to try the Rockport Perth version that has a more traditional look to it. As opposed to the Dunham which seems to be a merge of boat shoe x walking shoe. I hope this helps you source for your best fitting shoes! I hope Amazon can lean on suppliers to state shoe sizes in relation to mondopoint size. (Ie: actual foot length) that would in part be helpful in exploring new unfamiliar brands.

Good
