Yep, they are very comfy
“They’re super comfortable,” reported one sneakerhead. According to another tester, the Sea Kite Sport Moc is so comfy that they “wear it all day, every day.” One reviewer even described the sneakers as “extremely comfortable shoes.”
Fall in love at the first step
The kicks are the most comfortable shoes one sneakerhead has worn out of the box. “They're very easy on the feet,” another tester reported. The boat shoes “feel like they come already broken in,” one sneaker fan remarked. “Just fabulous!”
Earlier releases have long-lasting durability
According to many reviewers, these boat sneakers are very durable. “A pair outlasts at least 2 sets of laces!” claimed one sneaker fan. However, several avid fans pointed out that the quality of the construction deteriorated recently. One sneakerhead explained that the mocs are now made in Indonesia and even though the workmanship appears good, the material of the lining is inferior to touch. Additionally, the upper scuffs easily unlike the older version according to one user. “Leather top seems flimsy and scratches easily,” agreed another tester.
According to the testers, the mocs are lightweight
The Sperry Sea Kite Sport Moc has good support and cushion for all-day walking, reported a tester. However, the insoles on these are not leather or smooth, a reviewer pointed out. “The textured surface is a bit irritating on my feet,” they added. On contrary, another reviewer mentioned that they were also concerned with the little bumps on the insole but reported that with their very sensitive feet, “they aren’t a problem to wear even without socks.” So you don’t have to worry altogether, one tester suggested wearing socks.
Never worry about slipping
“They are exceptionally good at non-skid,” shared one sailor. “I am able to move around my sailboat without slipping.” Another reviewer shared that they don’t use them on boats but using them on wet surfaces proved that they are very non-slip. According to another tester, the mocs have “outstanding weather and slip resistance.”
According to the testers, the mocs are lightweight
“They’re my summer favorite right now,” a sneaker fan retorted. According to one tester, these boat shoes are the “most comfortable all-around casual shoe for boating or life in general.” Another tester revealed that they have been wearing the kicks for 15 years. “I wear them for work, boating, going for walks, for just about everything,” they shared.
Others
