Either Sperrys or Crocs, if I had to choose, I'd go crocs over sperrys just cause they're more comfortable to me and it doesn't matter if they get wet or bloody. You get over the ugly factor of crocs once you realize how much more comfortable and simplistic they are than almost any other shoe.

Oh my

The new "Cabo" series Sperry, which I am wearing at this moment, are by far the most comfortable "boat shoe" I have ever slipped on.

A one piece insole that is almost suede-ish is amazing, an air bubble, a great sole. Seriously comfortable.

As far as water goes, I havn't gotten them in the salt yet, hope to change that, but I did get drunk on my birthday and accidentally spit on the toe and you can't even tell it was there

I just bought a pair of the Sperry Figawi 2 lace up shoes. I love how comfortable they are and how quick they dry out. Unlike the SB870's.
However, they have removed all the skin off of 4 of my toes on each foot. At the end of this last 4 day spree we had....I had a pack of mole skin on my feet.

Not sure what the problem is with them yet.

Tried dozens

I have a bin full of boots, shoes and sandals and these Sperry's are the most comfortble pair that perform well to date.
I like being able to lace up my shoes for support and fit, these do the job for me.
