boat shoes discussion

[hakim]

A simple boat shoe is probably my favorite shoe. I've always had Sperry, but lately found Sebago more appealing. Any other good brands for a classic boat shoe?

[Mbrand]

You've pointed the most common 2 brands for classic boat shoes.

uniqlo has some nice looking linen(?) ones right now, but only in 3 sizes.

Ralph Lauren, got a pair in black 2 years ago and love it.

i also have sperry's in a traditional tan color and gum sole and a pair of green ones with a white sole. also easily the most comfortable shoes in my wardrobe.

i've also wondered about sebago's bc they look very slightly more elongated

Thats the two colors I have in sperry's. And the green ones turned the bottom of my foot green for the first two month or so that I wore them.

I'm seriously looking for some suede boat shoes. Any suggestions ?

[destructodisk]

I just got some sperrys in the mail last week and I have not taken them off since then. They're so comfortable..

Check out the Modern Amusement x Sperry Topsider collab. I have a pair and get compliments on it.

Been looking for the right boat shoe for quite some time. Got the apcs but returned them. I've looked at ndc's for some time and will probably pull the trigger if I find the exact color I'm looking for.

Are these still available? I thought I saw them last summer at urban outfitters.

But they don't have laces right? Im looking for navy.

almost impossible to wear sperrys without socks for me. any tips on padding? socks to no socks makes all the difference with these things.

[Guest jmatsu]

am i a contender?

I vote no socks. Padding? Take it like a man.

[hakim]

Yeah I used to wear with loafer sock but, feels so much better without socks. Honestly made no difference in padding.

[fg0d]

Do you sweat in these shoes with no socks?

[cheep]

yeah.. you sweat, but they are so open and leather lined, so its not too bad.

socks is blasphemy

[watchman]

The combination of 17 oz samurais and a Virginia spring and summer makes boat shoes indispensable. Humidity is a bitch.

This boat shoe 'revival' is ridiculous.

[misterpretender]

This boat shoe 'revival' is ridiculous.

I agree...I'm surprised some people are jumping on the boat shoe craze...

[soraanaam]

i have been wearing sperry's for the past four years, did anyone see the new black patent boat shoes? they are fuking amazing

[sbbbjm]

if you go to Aldo they carry these thin rubber insoles that have terry lining on the top, you slip them in shoes you want to wear sockless and it keeps them from getting all sweaty and destroyed.

when the insoles get grody you can slip them in the washing machine.

i also put some foot powder or baking soda in them for extra odor protection

only issue i can see is maybe needing to buy a half size bigger than usual to make room for the insole. i think this is especially relevant for boat shoes since your supposed to buy them snug and let them mold to your feet.

[hakim]

I didn't realize they ever 'fell off' or that there was a craze....

I saw the black patents on the website, there is something i dont like about them. I would rather see in person.
