boat shoes discussion

[christianjustin]

i gotta admit, not really the best construction/quality...

[Guest jmatsu]

really like these Lacoste's - on zappos.

i didn't bother going through the entire thread, but these are probably the most ugliest ones in here.

[Guest jmatsu]

sorry for shitty pics my scanner is broken. New spring red wing Wabasha collection. Uppers are handmade in Maine. Chukkas feature vibram mini lug sole and boat shoe sole for low tops.

seen the samples and they were solid. wish they they came in alternate colors though.

[rhett]

Are any of those three chukkas gonna be available at FTGG?

They will be. Pre-orders will be taken as well

why did they have to stamp made in china right there?

[Dead_Wizard]

The idea is that they're "inside out"

[christianjustin]

yeah, that just kills it i gotta admit

[cjbreed]

it does kill it. its hard to imagine that someone somewhere along the way didn't say, "is that really a good idea?"

also, what's the general opinion on wearing the sperry x BoO boat boots with your jeans/pants tucked in? yay or nay?

it looks good if it doesn't look like you spent a whole minute tucking them in, just let the pants cuff lie on top of the boots (if the opening is small enough)

if u tuck them in completely, you look like an idiot, but if your cuffs go over them completely, you can see the form of the boots which looks ugly as hell

Do someone know where I can buy those kind of boat shoes : in blue suede?... just like those APC, but without the APC price!

Thanks!

yeah i think it looks good if the tuck is not overly tidy.

my wife thinks it looks "trendy" but i think that's because she is not used to it, and she is picturing it in her mind as being too planned out. and it is hardly a trend, at least where i live...

[Guest kas.]

found my dad's old pair of sebagos in the garage. i think he's had these since the late 80s but has since retired them for a more comfortable pair of ecco boat shoes. these are just for chillin around the house right now what with it being winter but i'm sure i'll recycle this fit in spring

[willy cheesesteak]

i feel dirty after looking at those sebagos

[waves]

Some nice stuff at Explorer...

Yuketen x Quoddy Bluchers, loving the contrast laces:

Russell Moc:

^ might shorten the laces on those guys.

Does anyone have any experience putting sperry's through the wash?

I'm thinking of copping a pair of authentic originals in the classic brown and throwing them in the machine for more of a distressed look.

Does this ruin them in any way?

[~Stangzorized~]

I've washed my regular old sperrys around 10 times, still working fine.

[Jkerman]

Do Sperry Topsiders go with Slim fitting jeans? Or should I look for another type of summer shoe to wear without socks?

I thought the ones with the dipped toe were kinda cool, i wouldnt wear them though.

[vamks]

Got these quoddy's on ebay. Worn them for a couple weeks and decided to share with you guys. Awesome awesome awesome shoes.

Indigo staining a little bit... hope you guys like the pictures.

[waves]

those still up on eBay? great looking mocs.

[krn.nyc]

hey guys,

never had a boat shoe before so someone help me out please... thatd be great

1. what's more versatile? im going to beat these around the spring so i'm thinking about just getting the sperry original boat shoes. (http://www.sperrytopsider.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=893&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=143&iSubCat=144&iProductID=893&sColor=41) should i stick with the original leather, or go for the navy leather?

2. no socks with these right? does anyone's tend to get a little nasty after a while... i won't lie, sometimes i get stinky feet, so anyone have any problems with hot sweaty days wearing boat shoes

3. any other things i should know about getting shoes... the do's the don't, to not look like the frat idiot who looks all goofy wearing them. how does sizing work?

thanks

[ioos]

I have four pairs of the ones you linked to (different colors.) Sizing is pretty true, but I've sized mine all down a half just to keep them snug. You don't want to have the laces pulled all crazy tight.

I only wear them without socks. Mine only started to get stinky after about 4-5 months of wear. Even then I have to wear them for a few hours before I notice anything. I keep meaning to look into some kind of odor neutralizer spray. I'm sure there's something that works.

And assuming you wear raw denim like most people on here, the brown is probably a better choice.

Pulled the trigger on the Yuketen ranger mocs, horrendously expensive what you gonna doooo

If anyone wants my temporary pair, these:
