I dont know about size 12, I have just bought 2 pairs of . Los Gigantes deck shoes on Tenerife, one at Alcala (Not far from you) and one at Los Gigantes. Both leather and , made in Spain. Alcala = 15 euro, Los Gigantes a sale, quality leather 25 euro. get the bus, 3 and 5 euro each way, lookie, lookie, much cheapness!

Thanks for the tip, but I refuse to wear leather "Deck" shoes on a sailing boat. This is a very strange fashion IMO.

I have only ever bought Leather Deck shoes, I thought the other type were called trainers.
Sebago boat shoes are built to last more than a splash of water or dockside cocktail at high tide. The hand-sewn moccasins come in either a wax-coated leather to block out all of that unwanted moisture or a wear-resistant, buffed rawhide known as Nubuck. The leather sock lining inside the shoe is as much for comfort as it is for style. It molds to your foot while preventing even the most fashion-flawed among us from reaching for that sock drawer. And the grooved, white rubber sole ensures that not even a puddle on the deck -- whether from a wave or a mishap by the bar -- will knock you down.

Bought some a couple of weeks ago, seem well made and comfy, will have to see how they stand up to sea water.

They're fine. I have bought a few pairs as they have been reduced in the expectation that they might not last too long, but still wearing the first pair several seasons on. Very comfortable & good non-slip grip on the deck, soft leather uppers & soft rubber soles. Only get used on the boat & occasional trips ashore seldom used where there is a risk of them getting soaked, but they only seem to get a bit stiff & need feeding if they do.
