The Boat Shoe/Related Shoes Thread

I suppose that was a bit brand-whorish of me. What would be the best color of Sperry's to rock with most outfits? I'm assuming the Navy's at the beginning of the thread?

Can anyone point me to the right direction on where to buy those Yuketen shoes?

Those Lacoste joints are horrid.

 

[Racove]

who has black quoddy's in stock? i'd consider several styles, but the elusive venetians or canoe mocs would be nice. Are those south willard ones any better looking in person than in those awful pics?

Which of these new Sperry x Band of Outsiders would go the best with your casual summer shorts/vneck outfit? I really like the pink ones, but I don't think they'd be an all the time thing. Grey and Black Houndstooth, plain black, or green? Sperry x Band of Outsiders

I'm asking more about the best color to get, more so than the price.

I got the navy ones the other day with a 25% off code. I'll give impressions when they arrive.

I want a pair of brown top-siders, but the "Brown" color seems too dark, imo. What's the best option for a lighter brown to wear with khakis, khaki shorts, and occasionally jeans?

 

[van_hammersly]

the "sahara" colored topsiders are a lighter brown than the one you might be looking at.

Finally grabbed a pair of A/O's in navy.

I almost went suede, but I already have a pair of Sperry driving mocs in suede ($20 off Ebay). They're interesting, very comfortable and the suede isn't exactly luxurious, but the look holds up well as they slowly get dirty.

That said, the cheap insole basically disintegrated after maybe three months of wear...if I had paid retail ($80) I would have been pissed, but instead I got some comfy replacement insoles and kept on truckin'. I'll try and get a shot up at some point, since the styling is pretty similar.
