The Boat Shoe/Related Shoes Thread

[Strombollii]

Navy Topsiders for now. Actually, they're caked in mud from drunken wandering last weekend. Hopefully I can find some brown Quoddys this summer when I'm not broke.

Also, does the idea of suede boatshoes bother anyone else?

Suede / patent leather by Sperry:

what do you use to keep the soles white (or at least the sides)? a bleach pen? my soles are beginning to turn yellow.

 

[pronxs]

i usually lick them. no kidding.

saliva > dirt.

I bought both of these during the sperry f&f and am thinking about returning both, i'm 90% sure on the first but on the fence about the second. what do you all think? i am thinking of picking up the jcrew ones instead (third pic)

Got my blue Sperry x BoO shoes the other day and love them. They look great and are ridiculously comfortable.

Picked these up a couple days ago:

Wasn't really planning on getting blue topsiders as I think they're starting to get a little played out, but they were only $25 so I couldn't resist.

$25 is a great deal. I'm the only person rocking the Navy Topsider that isn't some weird half sneaker thing and a lot of people say I have nice shoes.

^ Don't get me wrong the navy is nice, I've seen it get more and more popular where I live. I think it's def the "in" color right now.

 

[trig]

how does everyone usually lace theirs? crossed with no ends exposed like lots of pictures or just a regular knot?

 

[Melo]

The J Crew ones came crossed but normally just a regular knot.

Well, Oi Polloi is based out of the UK, but they ship to the US.

Here's a link to their Yuketen section: http://www.oipolloi.com/brands/Yuketen-100.html

Thanks for that link. I forgot to mention that I am located in the US and it seems extremely silly to me to buy a show that is made in the US, in the UK in GBP and have it sent back. There must be a possibility to buy them directly in the US.
