re lacing them is pretty difficult. you gotta use wire (like a strong paper clip unfolded) to guide the lace thru all the holes it is a major pain in the rear end. im sure you could buy replacement laces from sperry though

I don't think they are sperry... I might just go to a cobbler and have him do it. It would probably only be like 15-20 bucks and I wouldn't have to gently caress with it.

I am wearing my Timberland boat shoes, right now, at work. They're pretty durable, but not as comfy as my Sperry's. Also, socks are fine. :colbert: I get blisters on the backs of my heels even with no show socks. Mocs are soft enough for that though. I got some 'tonks from Amazon Warehouse Deals recently for $25. :rms:

These worth re-threading or should I get a new pair... they look okay to me and fit well which is an anomaly because I got wide feet but I saw Sperry's come in triple e.

They look okay to me and are comfy without socks..

Do boat shoes allow your feet to float and this walk on top of water?

Jk I used to work at a retail place that sold Sperrys and I have sold hundreds of them to crappy white dudes.
I bet most of them have at least one pair of salmon colored shorts

I have a pair of sebago vernons that are like the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned

almost entirely mesh so you can feel the wind on your toes. foot liberating, orgasmic boat shoes imo

I want to get some boat shoes, or even some driving mocs...but I do not understand HOW THEY WORK.

I try them on in the stores, and either they're tight on my toes, or my heel just slips right out of them. 100% serious - how are they supposed to stay on your feet? The physics do not make sense to me. I assume they shouldn't be slapping about like chunky flip-flops. For that matter, I don't understand chelsea boots (although they look AMAZING) either, my heel slides up and down all over the place in them.

You just need laces and high eyelets so you can STRAP the sole to your foot. That's how shoes work!

I use an old pair as outdoor slippers, great for when I go to play sports, i can slip them on and change into cleats when i get to the field. They do look a bit silly with mesh shorts though

ok boat shoes with socks i can live with especially because you can hide them but what is the point of wearing flip flops when it's cold enough to need socks just wear a loving shoe. it looks terrible. it feels terrible. it is terrible and it makes you terrible by extension.
