Conquer the Ocean This Summer in a Pair of Boat Shoes!
Boat shoes, also known as deck shoes or topsiders, became trendy in the 80’s and are recently experiencing a major comeback. I certainly have seen them being worn by everyone everywhere lately. However, did you know that you are not actually supposed to wear true boat shoes anywhere but on a boat? What distinguishes boat shoes are their grippy bottoms, which prevent slipping on wet surfaces and don’t leave marks or scratches on your boat deck. Wearing boat shoes on the street wears out the soles and completely negates these qualities!
Well, I don’t know too many people who own a yacht, so much of the reason why they are so popular today is because of their cute, moccasin-style looks, and casual comfort. They are preppy enough to wear to the office, but casual enough for your everyday attire.
Check out Shoebuy’s selection of boat shoes, and experience one trend that’s a joy to slip your feet into! Here are some featured brands to get you started.
The legacy of these non-skid boating shoes began in 1935, when Paul Sperry designed a pair of top-siders inspired by the pattern of grooves on his dog’s paws! Now, Sperry offers many levels of boat shoes. Each pair is created for performance and built with quality and design for an enduring sense of style. Sperrys are loved by sailors, kayakers, windsurfers, power boaters and fishermen alike. Sperry Top-Sider: a passion for life in, on, or around the sea. Get wet!
