Dockers Mens Castaway Leather Boat Shoe

I have been wearing Dockers Castaways Boat shoes for a lot of years. Since 2005, They just fit and last a long time. I can't understand why they stopped making these and are now pushing the Vargas boat shoe. I tried them and sent them back and got the Castaway in Tan even thou I prefer Raisin but they did have Raisin in my size 9W.

Great shoes. I thought the sole would be a bit thick looking compared to the Vargas but once you have them on your feet they look very nice. I am glad a wide option is provided by the company, and it fits well. The only discomfort I have is where the back of the shoe is always grinding up against the ankle bone because that part of the shoe is a bit high up, but I've had this issue with other shoes and I think it goes away and the shoe adjusts with time and wear, and I only notice it the first few minutes of wearing them. The quality seems very nice and am very pleased that it is genuine leather, and these shoes are pretty fairly priced, especially if you can get them during sales. The craftsmanship of the shoes seem excellent, but time will tell. I've read some people using these for 10 years and still holding up so I think these shoes should be a great investment. Dockers, can you please make this and/or the Varga shoes in black color as well with black/very dark soles? I'm sure there are lots of other people that would want that as well. Thanks!
