good boat or deck shoes

[telluride11]

i searched for a thread i couldnt find any. maybe because summer is over =/

i personally dont mind the alife kennedy but it doesnt seem to be any good colorways lately

im more into those though than the straight up boat shoes like the timberland stuff. although i cant hang with creative recreation's

anyone suggest any brands other than these

Sperry is the classic..........if you are into them.........

Rockport - Nautical Mile (if you're into standard classics?)

Visvim - Hockney (if you're tryna be like "nigga you aint up on this?")

While not exactly boat shoes, how about Vans leather slip ons?

Saw a pair in brown leather w/ white soles the other day and boat shoes were the first thing that came into my mind...potentially copping them was the second thing..lol

where were they at? sound interesting. pic?

[triniboy27]

They were at Groovy on Queen St...i think they were going for either $120 or $130..you'd better not be a size 7!

I haven't gotten them as yet, but am def. considering...wouldn't mind rocking it to work for casual fridays with some khakis...

i think thats what yur talking about trini. looks like croc skin at a fast glance

[parish]

just take a look at the tod's competition...no boat shoe with its style, at all...why you gotta look like a mountaineer even in the middle of the sea???

[whynotmakeboth]

if we're gonna bring up vans the new trovata x vans is coming soon and looks like the same dressiness level as a boat shoe

Since the topic already been brought up.

What do you guys think of the Sperry Top Siders they had at Urban Outfitters

all summer. They apple green, and some painful combo of tan and orange. I

Couldn't personally rock some, but I thought it was interesting that Urbn would dredge

those up in their quest to bring back everything preppy (no matter how dorky).

Lace up low top vans, cheap, look good with no socks... easy satisfaction

That's the damn thing self...

cept the picture doesn't reveal the true colour (if it's the one as the one i saw)...it's more of a caramel colour rather than the darker brown pictured...

and oh, it looks croc-skinesque in the pic, but the checkboard is more defined in real life.

[whynotmakeboth]

all those apple green top-siders are now on sale for like $30 at nicer department stores

ALIFE joints are really nice for city walking, sperry cant hang on the streets blisters like crazy.

How dressy can a topsider be? I'm looking for a new pair of non-sneaker shoe for going out in Vegas, yet I'm sick of wearing the ubiqitous black/brown dress shoe out to bars/clubs like all the other party-shirt guys. I saw a pair of two-tone Sebago's today that I really liked. Any thoughts?

I'm so self-conscious...
