What do y'all think of these boat shoes for casual wear and when I'm actually out on the boat?

First is a pair of Sperry's for about $100, then Kenneth Cole on sale for about $60, and finally Rockport also for about $60.

Thanks, gents.

I never liked the laceless sperry's, dont get the point of the lace holes without laces and I don't really like the elastic. I think of those my favorites are the rockports.

I've got the oatmeal leather lace-up topsiders.

Grey is not a good colour for boat shoes. Grey makes them look so dreary and gloomy. You should stick with classic brown and tan or perhaps blue or red.

I don't like shoes with nonfunctional laces or that are laceless.

Am I missing something? Shoes on a boat = high chance of getting wet
Suede + water = no no.

I actually like the first pair best. Would look good with raw denim.
