Need Help Deciding on Boat Shoe colors.

Okay so I don't usually do this, but in this case I'm not sure whether something is wrong with my eyes, the contrast of my computer screen or there simply isn't a difference at all. I can't really see a difference between these two Sebagos:

This is called "Blue Nite":

This is "Navy":

This is called "Wine." I have no idea why it's called wine, when wine is a shade of red, but here... For this, I can see the obvious difference in lace color, but that's about it too. I can see that it's a slightly lighter shade of blue though, but I'm not sure if this is just lighting.

Honestly, both look like Navy to me. Is there even a difference?

Moss Green

*last shoe replaced due to previous color's general consensus being overwhelmingly negative* happy.gif

So, thoughts? I'm trying to pick 2 out of those 5.

+1000. If you want navy, the top two are your best choices. Personally I prefer brown or tan as a boat shoe colour, but that's just me.

The 'wine' ones look dark brown to me...

I already have a pair of tan boat shoes, so I don't really want to get something looking almost identical since I'd probably be wearing them with the same outfits as the other brown ones.

Crap.. I see them as blue. >_>

Edit: Wow, you are right..

Sebago's color swatch for "wine" is a brownish tone.

Okay, so the last ones are a no-go. rotflmao.gif

I was only considering them because they're insanely cheap as compared to the rest. Upon retrospect, that's probably because nobody wants to buy them.

I can't remember exactly what they looked like, but I think they might have been wearable if you change the laces to something that contrasts less. Personally, I've always been too intimidated to change laces on boat shoes.....

It's a pain in the ass. I know because I've broken laces on boat shoes...
