boat shoes discussion

[monkey nuts]

anyone know where there might be online instructions on how to tie these knots?

[jufros]

those gray boo are pretty ill. half size too big or I'd cop.

[chronoaug]

thanks, israel. I saw those and would consider buying them if i could find them in a 10.5 and i didn't find the black patent ones. Black boat shoes or even the silver ones (impossible i think because i don't think they made 10.5s in those) are kinda needed for the weather here

[israel]

ah thats right your size....

thats interesting, what do you mean by needed for the weather?

@ chronoaug, i was at bloomingdales in sf today and im pretty sure i saw both navy an d white patent ones.. last week they had black patents in 10 and 10.5 only.. quoting the SA, "those sold like hotcakes." lol

Hand sewn near Maine on the Eastern seaboard, in one of the last remaining hand sewing factories. In a weatherproof Chromexcel leather that only gets better with wear, hand cut leather laces and a rubber deck shoe sole.

£135. Seem a bit pricey but look lush.

the boots are pretty.

i would like the lows more if it was 2 eyelets instead of 3.

i'd been wanting a pair of those n.d.c.'s for a while, but ive never found a pair in my size and a color i wanted for a good price.

I'm liking these john varvatos alot too:

[Pandemonium]

The blue ones look very neat. Any idea on price?

I'm liking these john varvatos alot too:

i work at barney's in atlanta and the most horrible bro-ish people buy them left and right. they're also very appealing to kind of prissy, middle-aged gay men.

[zeke01]

T

These are ugly as sin

[emilo]

^^dat be lavinz? srsly

Love the apc's tho. Prolly pretty expensive tho

[Dead_Wizard]

BoO for Sperry FW08 is looking interesting.

I'm surprised the boots are a sperry collabo also, wonder what the pricepoint is going to be like. Not sure I like the metal hardware on the boat shoe if they keep a low profile sole on it though.

[gummy_b]

i got my sperry top sider authentics a week ago and i've worn them about three times while riding my bike. they now have cage(bike pedal) dents underneath my soles and some parts of the leather are beginning to look like suede. one of my eyelets are bent too.

the quality of them sucks.

my sebago docksides which i got 3 months ago are still looking pretty healthy with minor nicks.

[KnifeFight]

Those apc's look awesome, same with the denim sperry's.

[m1sterko]

aroudn 200 or so dollars

http://zozo.jp/shop/apc/goodssale.html?gid=302000&did=&cid=3020

[le_chic_garcon]

I did the Band of Outsiders onesthese sperrys are the best, but are sold out everywhere.

[chr1stuffer]

do boat shoes look funny on big feet? I wear size 12 and have wide feet... but I'd love to buy some soon.

Also, asked in superfashion, Sperry Topsiders or Rockport Bridgeports?

[chronoaug]

Go try them on at the mall or something if you're that curious. Not like boat shoes are rare or anything

[chr1stuffer]

ohh of course, will do. I'm just looking for input.

[m1sterko]

i think if you work with what you have , you can work anything into a outfit.
