Product Information

Tommy Hilfiger is one of the world’s leading fashion brands, designing and manufacturing all kinds of casual apparel. The brand also makes some of the best boat shoes for men on the market. The particular pair of boat shoes that we like the best are the Tommy Hilfiger Bowman boat shoes. They’re sleek, stylish, practical, and they’re quite affordable for a designer label too. A boat shoe could be defined as a moccasin-inspired loafer with a low cut profile, and hand sewn features. They are designed for use on boats and in marine environments, so they come equipped with a soft, non-slip, non-skid, non-marking siped sole, for firm traction and easy maneuverability.

From that day on, Sperry has been a leading name in the boat shoe industry. The shoes that we’ve selected from the brand’s range are some of the best out there. Based on Sperry’s original design, these heritage boat shoes have been made from premium leather with a hand-sewn Tru-Moc construction for a durable and fashionable look and fit. When it comes to buying boat shoes for men, there are two popular construction material options: leather boat shoes, and fabric boat shoes. Leather The main portion of the shoe is made from 100% leather, with hand stitched joins and features. The uppers are made from a single piece of strong leather, and the result is a close and comfortable fitting shoe that look timeless. They’re classic in design, and in truth, the look hasn’t changed much in the past 50 years.

Buying The Best Men’s Deck Shoes: A Guide

These cool boat sneakers are made from strong woven washed canvas that has been shaped to provide a close and secure fit. The hidden gore construction adds flexibility, making these shoes feel comfortable but without restricting your movements. Inside, the shoes have a durable textile lining, with a removable footbed that molds to the shape of the wearer’s foot. Made from soft woven canvas, the upper section of these shoes are similar to traditional moccasins in shape. The top section also has a leather panel section that houses the lace eyelets, and bold stitching that give it a rebellious look.

Man-made materials like Nylon, polyester, rubber, and others are also widely used in boat shoe manufacture. These materials are great for use in marine environments, since many of them are waterproof, or designed to withstand the elements better. Leather shoes don’t fair well underwater, but a pair of rubber shoes will be fine. These materials allow for more durable shoes that can be worn in a variety of conditions, usually for years. Sole Properties Since you’ll be in a marine environment, having boat shoes with a degree of water resistance would be a useful feature. They don’t need to be completely waterproof, since you shouldn’t be wearing them underwater, but a material with a chemical treatment that allows water to run off of your shoes rather than soak in to them will make your wearing experience more enjoyable. It will also help your shoes to last longer, since salt water can damage leather and canvas. Traditionally, they are fastened with rawhide laces that are fed between 2 pairs of eyelets, and around the perimeter of the shoe too. Though they have laces, they’re generally slip-on in nature. These boat shoes have become incredibly popular over the years, as a fashion item, as well as in indispensable part of a regular boater’s unofficial uniform. Leather is tough and durable, and one of the most popular boat shoe materials. However, it comes in a variety of styles and the difference between them is quite large. Here are the most popular types of leather boat shoes.No matter what the sole is made from, it’s important that it has a special, high-traction tread on it. Boat shoes need to be slip-resistant if they’re going to be effective. Walking around on a marina, boat surface, or beach can be slippery, so you’ll want a pair of boat shoes with real grip. Other cool features on this shoe include the lace-up closures which come equipped with a classic two-hole fastening, metal eyelets, and contrasting laces. Antimicrobial boat shoes are also worth seeking out. These specially treated shoes are designed to stop the spreading of bacteria, which can lead to bad odors and foot infections. It’s not even a matter of personal hygiene: if you’re standing in damp shoes—a common thing on boats—then bacteria will get in and breed. Consider an antimicrobial treatment to keep that bacteria at bay. The Look These boating shoes feature uppers made entirely from leather. At the front, they have a Moc-toe shape, with detailed contrast stitching embellishments. Each shoe has a leather lining and insole for added comfort. The result is a fashionable look with a comfortable fit. Inside, the insole’s feature Orhtolite cushioning for added comfort, resting on a bevelled heel section for better stability.
