In port I worn Wellingtons (actually half Wellington is the proper name, Wellingtons go up to the knee) from the time I was a Second Class. Underway I went through several types of footwear. I settled on Sperry Boat shoes on the Aspro. I wear them daily to this day and am on my fourth pair (this pair is thanks to a puppy) since 1979.
