Boat sandals?
The sandals performed well for me while pursuing land
based chores. They look sharp and rugged and handled
higher speeds well when I employed them as jogging
shoes on a rocky beach in Tortuga Bay, Mexico. They
handled the crags and beach shingle like champion
hiking boots.
But my singular fear of sandals on the deck of a
cramped and confused sailboat offering unclad tender
toes to cleats, combings, blocks and the feet of other
crew came true. I love them on the shore and, yes,
thanks for asking, my toe did heal.
In the past I have perhaps played the penny-wise and
pound-foolish approach to footwear. The boat shoes retail
for $80. That’s about $20 more than I have been
spending on boat shoes. These Timberland Moc Toe Boat
shoes have reformed my penny-pinching ways. The
sandals are on their way to lasting for years on the
beaches, trails and docks.
