Boat Shoes

The boat shoe, which is also known as the deck shoe, comprises of a soft rubber sole to perfectly support the foot. There’s simple lacing criss crossing across the top of the shoes, with it looping around the sides to create a decorative and unique addition to the design.

Choosing Your Perfect Boat Shoe

Looking for the right pair of boat shoes can feel impossible at times, but luckily we’ve created a guide to help in your journey to finding the perfect boat shoes for you. But this guide can only take you so far, for you are the only one that knows what is the best boat shoe for you.

Style

Boat shoes come in a wide range of colors and styles from neutrals – navy, black, brown, and nude – to bright vibrant colors and patterns. Each boat shoe creates its own fashion statement in your wardrobe.

Fit

The fit is the most important part when choosing a pair of boat shoes, as comfort is paramount in this design. With its rubber sole, easy slip on shape and simplistic design, comfort is key and if the boat shoe isn’t easy on the feet, then there is no reason to wear the shoe. A few things to remember when picking out boat shoes, or any type of shoes for that matter:

  • Make sure there’s half an inch of space between your big toe and the top of the shoe when you’re standing up.
  • The ball of your foot should fit neatly into the widest part of the shoe.
  • Have a quick walk around when you first try on the shoe to see if there’s any gaps or tightness.

 

  • Personal Preference

    This is the part where you decide if you are a canvas or leather person, whether you prefer chunkier or lighter shoes, and if you’re in to subdued neutral colors, or something bolder. If the shoe fits your personal preference, then it’s right for you.
