Is the Yarmouth true to size?

It runs close to standard US sizing with a normal width. The leather lining and cushioned insole take up some room, so shoppers between sizes often go up.

Can you wear it without socks?

Yes. The leather lining and foam-cork insole are made for bare feet, though the leather will darken with sweat over time.

How does it compare with the Sperry Authentic Original?

The Yarmouth has a softer memory foam insole and a leather lining, while the Sperry has a firmer, more traditional deck sole. The Eastland is heavier and less water-focused.

Is it good for actual boating?

It is a casual boat shoe, not a sailing shoe. The rubber outsole grips, but there is no drainage and the leather and canvas soak up water.

One pair of shoes with the laces fitted. No extra laces or shoe bag are included.

How should I care for the leather and canvas?

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and let it air dry away from heat. Brush dry canvas and avoid machine washing, which can shrink it and break down the insole.
