SPERRY SHOES

Like many staples in prep style, you either love boat shoes or hate them. Personally, I like them. In fact, I own 3 pairs of them. While many credit Sperry Topsider with the initial introduction, and most people consider them the quintessential boat shoe, there are many companies today that make them. Boat shoes are pretty well exactly what they sound like. They were created as a non-slip shoe for sailing and generally are made of leather and sometimes suede or other materials. They are worn exclusively without socks and as a casual shoe that is tied using leather boat shoe laces.
