text: These shoes are a great fit for me.  Look great and does the job well (deck shoe).  Better than Sperry's, for less.<br />That said:  the banner around the ankle could rub some, but since it's just stitched it's easily removed.  Inner sole is lightly glued in so probably could be removed if you need more support, though I find they have more support than Sperry's.<br />What's up with everybody making the inner soles non-removable?
