 THE BEST BOAT SHOES MEN CAN BUY IN 2022

LACOSTE

While it’s true that Lacoste is a tennis apparel brand, set up by a tennis player to make, well, tennis stuff, there’s no arguing with the fact it makes some seriously good boat shoes.

Lacoste’s versions of this casual classic make use of both traditional materials like leather and suede along with canvas and mesh to create boat shoes that maintain their trademark uncluttered look, while at the same time adopting a contemporary edge.

RALPH LAUREN

When you think of all-American style, Ralph Lauren is always one of the first brands that spring to mind. So as well as denim and Oxford shirts, it goes without saying that the label has more than perfected its take on the boat shoe over the years.

Ralph Lauren’s designs are simple, clean, and classic, with an emphasis on quality. Check them out and buy with confidence.

M&S

For reliability, value for money, and quality, good ole Marks and Spencer is the best around. And it turns out the high street stalwart makes some pretty excellent boat shoes too.

As expected, the M&S take on the classic footwear style is durable, easy on the eye, and affordable. Look out for classic soft leather options, featuring that original herringbone cut-out sole.

TIMBERLAND

While it’s best known for making reassuringly sturdy boots co-signed by rap royalty, Timberland has its roots firmly planted in America’s boating country.

CLARKS

As far as British footwear brands go, Clarks is undoubtedly the undisputed number one, certainly on the high street. This almost two-century-old business has turned its hand to pretty much every style imaginable over the years, not to mention inventing plenty of its own along the way.

SEBAGO

Michigan-based purveyor of nautical footwear Sebago may have been about 10 years later to the party than Sperry, but what it lacks in that decade’s worth of heritage, it more than makes up for in quality and craftsmanship.

SPERRY

If you’re going to buy a pair of boat shoes, you might as well go with the brand that invented them. Sperry is to boat shoes what Apple is to smartphones and what Patron is to tequila.
