Originally designed for sailors, these shoes have conquered the fashion world thanks to their versatility and functional design. Perfect for summer days, boat shoes offer functionality, comfort, and style. They are ideal for any occasion, whether it’s a sailing trip, a city stroll, or an informal evening outing.
This summer, they are a true must-have! Trends for summer 2024 are seeing a return to natural materials and nature-inspired colors.
Boat shoes have a history dating back to the early 20th century. Invented by Paul Sperry in 1935, deck shoes were inspired by the paws of his dog Prince, which he noticed had great grip on snow.
Sperry carved wave-like grooves into the rubber soles of his shoes, creating the first non-slip sole.
Initially used only by sailors, their versatility made them popular outside the nautical context, becoming a staple of preppy casual fashion.
Boat shoes have also been worn by celebrities and style icons, solidifying their reputation as versatile
and fashionable footwear.
