First, an explanation - I bought these shoes a year ago originally for indoor use exclusively at work - one day I forgot to change out of them leaving, and just started wearing them everyday throughout the summer. I am very hard on shoes, due to a number of podiatry-related issues, so the fact that this pair lasted me a year is outstanding.
All-in-all, great shoe, just as one should expect from Ralph Lauren. Absolutely versatile - no metal shanks to make noise, but dressy enough that, except in the most formal circumstances, they are great for business casual in an office that is also church-mouse quiet. Seeing that they are, boat shoes, they are also very light and airy for wearing on a hot summer's day, or if I want to throw something on quick to walk out to the mailbox.
Only had to replace the leather ties once - again, probably due to me more than the shoe.
Again, this is something I'm writing as an epitaph to a great pair of shoes that had a great past year of service. Will I be buying them again? ABSOLUTELY. In fact - I plan to get two pairs - one that I will truly keep as an inside shoe, and a second pair that I will use for those quick outside jaunts.
