I'm looking for a decent boat shoe for summer, and aside from Sperry or Sebago, I don't really know where to look.

Can anyone recommend a boat shoe, perhaps even one made by a more reputable maker?

Re: Sebago. In any case stay clear of dark brown Sebagos. The leather looks plasticky (sp?) in a really strange way after a short while.

Having had Sperry, Sebago and Timberland I strongly prefer the latter. Timberland's leather feels the best to me, they're durable and have the most attractive sole.

I like Sperry and may get a pair in dark brown, but I don't like the white laces on their navy boat shoes.
