I had a pair of Rancourt boat shoes and yes I found them pretty unsupportive and uncomfortable, not to mention abhorrent to the eye. I also avoided wearing them, until I gave them away to my dad. I imagine he is now in the process of finding someone else to give them to.
I always used to have the leather Sperry boat shoe. About six years ago I realized how I did not like them anymore because of the very flat and un-cushioned bottoms. Besides, without a boat and living south of Chicago, they were un-stylish. That is when I went for the Sperry CVO style. I was done with Converse All Stars for the same reason.

I totally agree, although I feel like this is not the correct thread for this discussion! 😊

It will do
About six years ago I realized when I went for the Sperry CVO style. I was done with Converse All Stars for the same reason,[flat insole].
In 2015 Converse introduced the Chuck Taylor II which provided a removable, cushioned insert, dubbed Lunarlon. A couple of years ago Converse scrapped the Chuck II in favor of their latest, the Chuck 70 which has a thicker sole and an even more cushioned insole. I swear by them. Except I probably shouldn't swear here on the forum. Gosh dang then, they're really swell
