Ever invited someone on your boat and told them to “be sure to wear your boat shoes”? Has someone ever told you “don’t wear those shoes on my boat”?
There is a good reason for this. Shoe heels can possibly damage teak decks and dark shoe soles can leave unsightly scuff marks on the top coat or fiberglass. Can you wear shoes on a boat deck? Yes, but they should always be soft-soled deck shoes.
Below are some of the most popular boat shoes you should consider. Their blend of style, water resistance, and use on, or off a boat make them my personal recommendations.
My personal favorite boat shoe is the Sperry Mens Billfish. It is Available in over 30 styles and features air-mesh upper panels for cool, breathable comfort around the foot with shock absorbing EVA heel cup for added comfort. It has Stain and water resistant leather and of course rubber soles. Goes with jeans, shorts, anything!Should you buy boat shoes? The good thing is boat shoes are a great alternative to every day dress shoes. They can be stylish for daily wear and should be a part of your wardrobe. Many people buy boat shoes like Sperry TopSider and never even set foot on a boat.
