Is the Sorel Slabtown 62 Mariner good for everyday wear?

Yes. It is a casual lace-up boat shoe with a cushioned footbed and rubber sole, built for everyday wear rather than sport. It works with shorts, jeans and casual trousers.

Can I wear it in wet weather?

The rubber sole gives grip on wet surfaces, but the suede panels don't handle rain well. Treat the suede and keep it for dry or lightly damp days.

How does it compare with a canvas boat shoe?

It is heavier and more structured than canvas, with leather and suede that hold their shape longer. Canvas dries faster and is lighter, but wears out sooner.

What is the fit like?

It is a medium-width lace-up, so the laces let you adjust the fit across the instep. Try your usual casual shoe size first.

Does it work across seasons?

It is a casual shoe suited to spring, summer and fall, and can be worn in mild winter weather. It is not insulated or waterproof, so it is not a cold-weather shoe.
