It’s the holidays and we’re here to help you find out if boat shoes check off all the boxes for a good all around shoe this season.
Style doesn’t go on a break during these months and you need to dress practical while looking good throughout all the travel and social gatherings you got planned.
The boat shoe was created to be a functional purpose built shoe, providing sailors with a grippy, flexible sole and a customizable fit for security and comfort. Over time the boat shoe has become the ultimate symbol of cool casual style on preppy college campuses as much as the beachside bar.
When it comes to boat shoes, Sperry is easily the brand that pops into our heads. The iconic American brand created the first ever boat shoe in 1935 out of a simple discovery. Inspired by the ingenuity of their creator Paul Sperry, the brand has kept their heritage through building products combining purpose and style. Today, Sperry has evolved from the original boat shoe into an authentic lifestyle brand – a brand that spans fashion and function without compromise.
Take your pick from the classic colors of their iconic boat shoes or try the season’s update on the Authentic Originals in cyclone leather – available in deep colors with pull-up full grain leather that ensures longevity of wear. These boat shoes are perfect for the holiday activities from last minute Christmas shopping to jetting off to your holiday destination. Pair them up with a polo shirt and tailored shorts for a preppy look or rolled up chinos for a great holiday look.
