Famous for being worn as part of a prepster’s uniform, we know they have a bit of a stigma. When we think boat shoe, we think summer – going to the beach, afternoons with friends or if you’re lucky, sundowners on a boat. We like them because they look better than flip-flops and nearly as comfortable and easy to throw on.
Somewhat of a footwear chameleon, boat shoes are easy to dress up or down. When styling your look, think of them as a subtle counterpart to the rest of your outfit. We prefer them as their best versions of themselves – the originals. Think: Neutral leather, moccasin-style upper with rugged laces and a slip-proof rubber sole.
