boat shoes. we all know and love them. they are versatile, can get wet, durable as hell, pass as dressier than sneakers, and extremely comfortable to boot

obviously best brand is sperry. top of their line is the gold cups. today i am just rocking the very classic tan topsiders that ill post a pic of later when not on my phone but it is by far the most common kind and looks good with jeans and ok w khakis.

just remember this thread everytime you slide into a comforting and welcoming pair of boat shoes but just lol if they aint sperrys what the gently caress are you doin (for a more laid-back, :siren: WEST-COAST :siren: style you could try vans brand boat shoes whatever the gently caress that means)

be sure to include socks or no socks details

I just bought a pair of sperrys that are technically boat shoes but look fancy enough to be considered business casual for work. 10/10 comfiness. Unfortunately I don't have any Lacoste polos to go along with them.

we like to be a bit more accepting around here because although no socks is preferable and the natural way to wear boat shoes sometimes the climate and dress code dictates otherwise :shrug:

PS no sox

also feel free to post whatever foot powder you may use (hopefully ??) when going sockless on hot days.

there are lots of no-show socks available that you cant see with sperrys if you have really sweaty and gross feet

mine are of course perfect and smell good and never sweat tho :smug:

they seem to be made with the skin of the tender baby lamb so its extra soft inside for your sockless foot?


they seem to cost about twice as much so wow it better cuddle my tosies in unicorn farts and etc.
