Men's boat shoes (sometimes called deck shoes) usually have canvas or leather uppers with moccasin-inspired stitching around the toes and contrasting rubber soles. As the name suggests, they were traditionally worn on sailboats and yachts, but today, the classic boat shoe is casually dapper, and undeniably preppy shoe is a go-to for guys on land and water.
One of the best things about boat shoes is their versatility and classic look. You can wear them with a variety of outfits from jeans, shorts, and chinos to slacks, polos, and crew-neck sweaters. What's more, they're a year-round footwear staple that can be dressed up or down and rocked on a number of occasions. We're talking summer weddings, sightseeing, brunch, happy hour, barbecues, dates, work functions, and of course, boating.
