The Perth boat shoe comes ashore in Rockport’s Ports of Call collection. The full-grain leather upper wears well, conforming to the foot over time for a personalized fit, and the padded tongue and collar help protect from excessive rubbing and prevent blisters. To ensure steady footing on land or at sea, a rubber outsole provides durable grip on a variety of surfaces, and a built-in heel cup in the footbed offers medial/lateral heel support.

Rockport Perth Boat Shoe
Good quality shoes and very comfortable. They fitted well straight out of the box. Some of the other brands are rather narrow in width but these were fine. On some other reviews there have been problems with sizing but I am happy to say I ordered UK size 10 and got size 10. No problems.

Another great shoe
I have an identical tan pair that I purchased many years ago and that is still going strong. They get a periodic scrub and just keep on going. A great shoe and the colour of the blue one is nice. A quality shoe that will stand up to heavy use.

Old ones still comfortable need to break in new one to to see ...
Have an old pair - not sure if same quality - understand have been taken over. Old ones still comfortable need to break in new one to to see if same - hope so.

Looks good. Feels good
I tried to find these in the various UK outlets, but could only locate at Amazon. Really grateful. Looks good. Feels good. With its tougher longer lasting sole it means I will probably have them for years instead of the usual one year only on the shoes with the softer sole.

The only boat shoe worth buying.
A lot of what passes as boat or deck shoes these days are made of a line of leather slapped onto a thin layer of plastic (aka sole) These Perth are properly made. The sole has a middle layer of cushioning and the quality of the outer layer is what you expect from Rockport. The insole is specially crafted and beautifully made, instead of a slice of cheap foam that you find in other deck shoes that cost the same SRP.My only gripe with these shoes is the width. If you are not wide footed you would struggle to wear your size without socks, which is a shame as many would like to wear their deck shoes without socks. Oh, well, there is always the invisible trainer socks if you don't want to cramp your style. Still a 5/5 is what it deserves.If you ever wanted to own a pair of boat shoes, these are the ones.

Good fit
I am size UK 11 and that's what I ordered - I have slightly wide feet and they fitted perfectly. Had a pair before which were 12 and too big.

Advertised sizes are wrong, wide-fit shoes are still narrow
I'm a big fan of Rockport shoes from my time living stateside, but had to give up here. In theory, making shoes available direct from the USA is a good idea, but not if you advertise the sizes wrongly. These were advertised as UK size 10, wide fitting, which is my size. What I received were US size 10, which is more like UK size 9-9.5, so obviously these were always going to be too small. I'm awaiting Amazon's returns service to work its way through, although it doesn't help to have to send this back to the US for £15 with no hard guarantee that the postage will be refunded. However, I will update this review once that has concluded, so you can learn from my experience.Beyond that, there's nothing else wrong with these shoes: their build quality is great (which is why I'm a fan) and they look great. However, I would question whether these are really wide fitting, as they are way too narrow (I'd expect a size down to be too snug, but not impossible to put on.I want nothing more than to be able to get my hands on a nice pair of Rockports, and want nothing less than to have to go through a lengthy returns process: so far, this has been the worst of both worlds, but a swift refund (including duty paid and postage) will change my mind on the scoring. But please, Amazon, let's at least get the proper UK sizes listed.UPDATE: I got my money, duty and postage, minus £2.50, refunded. Positive, I guess, but I'm now £2.50 out of pocket for Amazon's mistake. Great experience there. In future I'm going to give anything with the "Global Store" tag a wide berth, as even independent Chinese stores give better service than this (they invariably make you whole after their mistake). This review stays at 1 star for the poor description, dubious width fitting and less-than-hassle-free returns process that leaves you out of pocket.

I love these all leather Boat Shoes.
I love these all leather Boat Shoes. I've been buying them for 20 years now (I'm on my third pair) and wear them until my wife finally persuades me to renew. I hope these guys keep making them for another 2 decades - they are worth every penny. Don't be tempted to go for cheaper modern imitations - spend the money and get the best; you will NOT regret it!
