C'mon now.

I think they're ugly though.

Well, that thread is about wearing boat shoes with jeans. This thread could easily become a general boat shoes discussion thread.

My thoughts: those red boat shoes in the OPs pic are ugly. Boat shoes in general: new "classics"! Everyone get varsity prep like that new indie band Vampire Weekend (

)

Those are the Varvatos Beekman in brick right? Those are ugly as ****. I saw a pic of the beekman in brown which looked really nice...I think member onion has them.

I'll use this then. Assuming i can find both at barneys/bloomies now (i think they'd be the same price after sales). patent black sperry

or boo x sperry black/white http://s7d5.scene7.com/is/image/eLux...y_yellow_h_pu? The boo looks real nice, but the patent blacks would probably be more fun to wear and add a bit of "what the hell is he wearing?" to a few outfits. I'd probably wear these with black/grey trousers, maybe my khakis, and with some shorts (probably charcoal) i plan on buying. To be worn with graphic or plain tshirts, maybe button downs, or sweaters or something when it gets cooler. I live in florida so i can get away with wearing them almost year round.

I saw this guy in super rad silver sperrys at work last week. I thought he'd done it himself, but those patent leather jobbies make me think otherwise.

those are really cool.

A little on the loud side. I wouldn't be comfortable in them, but if you're cool with them, go for it.

Not a fan of those...on the subject of boat shoes though, wish they were made in 3/4 or mid heights more often.

Yup. http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...84#post1115484

I'm actually considering buying another pair in black I like them so much. I tend to favor the dark brown, stone, or black over the red (or white). If you like the red though I say buy them. They are really comfortable, and I really like the washed leather, and especially the toe vs typical Sperry's.

A word of advice though, you should try them on before you buy them. You will most likely have to go up a half size, as they run slightly small.

I like the patent quite a bit more.

 

[chronoaug]

Yea, i do too. It's just impossible to find them right now. If anyone ever finds them in a 10.5 i'd be forever grateful.

I'm not a fan of boat shoes unless you're on a boat. It sounds silly, but I think that's about the only place they have their place...
