Fab deck shoes
"Love these deck shoes, bought a 38 which are fine but could have gotten away with a 37. (I’m a 4. 5)"
Quite narrow
"The shoes looked brilliant when they arrived but they were very much on the narrow side so I had to get a return which is a shame. Otherwise they would have been perfect!"
Really nice deckshoes
"Comfortable and quick drying"
A comfortable trainer-style deck shoe,
"A comfortable trainer-style deck shoe, with internal drainage holes - useful for letting water out after going ashore in the dinghy but will also let water from puddles in! Standard laces would suit me better than the pull-cord but otherwise no complaints."
Deck trainers
"Good all round deck shoe/trainers. I would have preferred a little more height around ankle for firmer support."
Superb Atlantic Rowing Trainer
"I've just rowed across the Atlantic Ocean wearing a pair of these. I didn't wear any socks with them either during training or on the race itself. they performed incredibly well and I had no issues at all with my feet and the holes in the soles kept my feet dry once the shoes got a soaking. I swam in them while cleaning the barnacles off the bottom of the boat and the water drained out very quickly. They also didn't smell too terrible after 45 days at sea and I will still be using them in the future should I ever go back to sea. I cannot recommend these shoes highly enough. Well done Gill."
Very disappointed
"Disappointed! poor quality for over £100 !!! bought these for my Holiday on my yacht in Spain. Every time I took my feet out of the shoes the soles came out of the shoes wet or dry. Didn’t even wear them every day and they started to go out of shape. Not the Gill Quality I have come to expect!"
delivered to someone else by DPD - no sign of them
"DPD are useless and you have to return by dropping the parcel at a vape shop 20 mins drive away. Not good. Please let me know where they are!"
