new boat shoes what do you think

[shipperholic]

hi there i represent a footwear brand in the uk and i was trying to get some feedback from the yachting public with regards to these styles of footwear
the Deck shoe and the boat shoe what are your thought on them would you buy them

all comments appreciated

Shoe Expert required

i will defer the the Hon Paulineb, resident expert in these matters. If she likes them then i imagine there'd be an initial order of 1,000 or so.

 

[paulineb]

i like the style of the top ones, but they are too 'orange' ... a darker colour would much better. the bottom ones are poo. IMHO /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[studgies]

Ah Pauline, a woman of taste, top ones good rest naff!

 

[Riggy]

Next question...How much???????????

 

[shipperholic]

the prices range from £80.00-£99.99 just to let you know they are using nappa leather inside and outside the shoe

 

[paulineb]

do they grip well ?

I've got some for sale as well. They have been fully tested for grip, water ingress and even dog poo. I'm not selling them in pairs as I do not want to run out of shoes all at once. As I feel that my shoes having been rigourously tested, must be much more superiour eerrrr 90 quid!

 

[Solitaire]

Long John Silver then! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif But you can't change your name!! You selling the left or the right one?

 

[hlb]

I've not decided yet!!

 

[Solitaire]

Second pair I might consider. Don't like colour of top one and I positively hate the style of the last two!! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif My boat foot wear take a bashing as I work on boats full time. I'm happy to try a pair and test then for durability in a hard working, wet environment - size 9. I'll send my address by email so you can dispatch a pair!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You're slipping, thats far too obvious a troll even for you!

Well hop to it! I need to know which foot to cut off so as to help you on your way! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[duncan]

go with Pauline on style but are they designed to be worn without socks?
this is a critical question for a boat shoe.

interesting choice of names, they look like those shoes advertised in the back of colour supplements for elderly folk, not my taste and the brand names do seem to have the market tied up - pas pour moi
