Rugged Shark the best boat shoe` No other shoe that tries to combine style and function can match the rugged shark's comfort and durability. I have owned many pairs, and they actually never go away - just the soles eventually wear out. They don't look like the rest, and they are like wearing pillowed bedroom slippers. Hard to find in stores, but Zappos keeps them around. Also, if you like a certain style, get 2 pairs, as they seem to change a lot.

I purchased original pair @2years ago and enjoyed them. I ordered new pair and Zappos shipped them to me. There was no shipping charge and I received them in @ 3 days. This surprised me because I live on a small island in S C and next day air usually takes three days. I also ordered Rugged Shark Marlin Plus tennis shoes and received them in three days. Thanks Zappos.

Go For It! This is an excellent shoe that is well constructed, extremely comfortable, and an outstanding value. I would term the shoe a hybrid as it is well suited for both dry and wet applications, with the wet side an obvious design feature as they appear more a "boat" type style. The soles are rather thick, but for comfort, weight (extremely light), and durability, you can't go wrong.

Sharks satisfy - Rugged Shark Atlantic is a great shoe. I bought my first pair last year and was very pleased. In fact I took them oversea with in February where I expected to do a lot of walking. They were great. Probably the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. My second pair was only necessary to change the color since the first pair refuses to wear out.

Boat Shoes - I bought a pair of Rugged Shark Exhuma and they were the most comfortable shoe that I have ever had on. When I went to buy another pair, there was none in stock so I bought the Atlantic and am very satisfied with them. The Atlantic, to me don't look as good as the Exhuma but are just as comfortable.

Under Appreciated Sharks - Some years ago I bought a pair of Sharks through a catalog. I was very pleased; the comfort was wonderful, the construction was such that the shoes lasted several years of heavy wear. Since I didn't remember the catalog, I googled "Shark", found your website, and ordered a new pair. They are equal to my first pair.

My husband would settle for nothing less than these Rugged Shark Atlantic shoes. Soft insole, waterproof & comfortable from first moment he put them on. These are his second pair (1st pair lasted 3-4 years with constant wear!).

Great shoe, needs minor improvement - Love these shoes, second pair. First pair had the heel cord come through the back. Should be covered in leather. Second pair has same fault. Otherwise, love the shoes!

Great all around casual shoe - This wears well as we have already gone thru several pairs. Good sporty look with heavy sole for comfort and shock resistance.

I wear these shoes virtually every day in an office environment. Once I got additional arch support, they are very comfortable. However, after only a few months they are falling apart. In particular, the interior fabric is coming apart at the heel and toe. External parts are coming unglued. I usually get 9 months out of shoes like these; Rugged Shark is not so rugged.
