So I'm looking for a nice boat shoe to buy under/around $100. At the the I have this shoe http://shop.timberland.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11485839 and this http://www.sperrytopsider.com/store...etails?productId=7-100210&stockNumber=0195115. However the Timberland is too heavy and itchy to wear during summer without socks. The Sperry's are good but they are too narrow to look any good with pants. Any recommendations? I have access to a large outlet mall that has Cole Haan Johnston and Murphy and Allen Edmonds stores in it that are quite good so if you have any recommendations that may be over $100 may be possible. Thanks.

I have a pair of no-name boatshoes that are my go-tos, and then a Polo pair in navy that are thinner but more comfortable. I wear them with shorts and pants, so maybe you need some slimmer-cut trousers? I think the shape or perceived narrowness of boatshoes is going to be pretty much across the board.
