Missing poll option of NEVER OWNED BOAT SHOES, NEVER WILL.

I've seen some decent ones but unless you're going to wear chinos with a spring shirt all the time they don't look that great. Not terrible no, but nothing special.

The whole "one should only wear boat shoes on a boat" is pure ****, and this is coming from someone who hates Sperry's. If we apply this same logic, then no one on here should be wearing this EG clothing, I shouldn't wear Doc Martens since I'm not a construction worker, I shouldn't wear RMW boots since I don't ride a horse. Only miners and the like should wear jeans. etc, etc

Do you extend that logic to non-prescription glasses?
