[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 826827, member: 53455"] [B]Deck shoes (2020)[/B] Sebago’s Dockside shoes have accompanied not only my sailing activities since the 1970s, but also most of my off-work daily life. I do not think I have ever worn sneakers or tennis shoes, except of course when playing tennis or practicing a field-and-track sport. That’s what they are for, aren’t they? :cool: Sadly, over the years, I have seen that exceptional brand’s quality decrease as manufacturing was transferred out of the US to various Far East countries, and finally to China like so many others with an avid taste for more profit. Prices didn’t go down, mind. Therefore, reluctantly but unavoidably, I got fed up with buying expensive shoes that looked good but repeatedly hurt my feet here or there, and I switched to the French brand TBS, which manufactures in Portugal many excellent and very comfortable shoes, including deck shoes ([URL='https://www.tbs.fr/fr/chaussures-bateau-homme-cuir-nubuck-jaune-5152364.html']see here for example[/URL]) that are slightly less expensive that Docksides and feel like slippers. The red and blue ones in this photo were the last pair of Docksides I ever bought. Nikon Z7, Nikkor Z “Nifty Fifty” 50mm ƒ/1.8 S lens. Gitzo tripod, Arca-Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Flash lighting. Composite shot made up of 6 focus-stacked exposures, set automatically using the built-in function on the camera. Stack processed with Helicon Focus. [ATTACH type="full"]412879[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
