I've never heard of boat shoes being hated lol. When I was a kid they were of course associated more with preppy kids, but those days are over. I wear them primarily with a light colored pair of fitted jeans and they look great.

Boat shoes are fine, they're a classic shoe that match with shorts and a T-shirt and they're perfect for messing around on boats, at the beach etc or in hot locations. Just don't wear them with socks or formal wear. Wear whatever you want, don't worry about what others think or tell you to do.

Well said
Back in the day boat shoes were considered a collegiate fashion statement. That to me, is very cool. As penny loafers were the hot collegiate fashion statement in the 70's, boat shoes made it big in the late 80's and through the 90's. Today's college fashion statement in contrast is anything from Nike, New Balance, Under Armour, or Sketchers. Long live the boat shoe.

Ive been wearing boat shoes for over 15 years, I wear them with skinny jeans, slim fit jeans, and some chinos, t shirts and jackets. It's all about making your own style and making them work with what you wear. They are the most comfortable shoe I own. I get compliments with how I wear them 😄

Imagine being so insecure about your style that you are concerned about a meme or how people view it online. Try them with a quality sweater and dark jeans.

What happens when the person who wears the boat shoes, because he actually goes boating, fishing, and sailing, particularly sailing? Never, ever wear long socks with boat shoes, never more than ankle high. Thigh-high socks on boat shoes get wet, fall down, and become problematic while sailing. Thus, never wear tall socks with boat shoes. Boat shoes are cool because they're specifically practical for sailing. They serve an identifiable function!
They last forever. Good brands' boat shoes can outlive us.
You’re right about their lack of versatility. I wear them only with shorts and no show socks.

In Brazil where flip flops are very common, i think boat shoes are pretty good choice.
at least this guy doesn't wear women's hoop earrings while he offers his criticism of the boat shoe...
I have 3 pairs of Sebago's but the uppers and soles are better than what you are showing. I absolutely love mine, and they are sooo comfortable. I polish mine ever few days and the uppers look very rich. They aren't cheap shoes. I do not and have never followed styles. I'm comfortable and that's the bottom line. I look at peoples footware all the time, and i just see that the trend is laziness. I live in Florida and men wear either boat shoes, sneakers, or sandals.
That's life changing and most of us neglect it.

Looks like the comments i have seen thus so-far is that alot of people actually like the Boat shoe. Unfortunatly you are on of the very few that hates them. I'm 53 year old male and in high school these shoes where the bomb, and still are. I have a HUGE collection of Sperry Boat shoe that my wife had asked me before Christmas what would you like? I had nothing else in mind except to ask for a Gift Card at Sperry Top Sider. She asked me "What what Boat shoe can you possibly want that you haven't have already?" Well i had asked for the the Hand Made In Main Gold Cup Series in two-tone Light and dark brown. When Christmas came and i opened up my gift i was BLOWN-AWAY! What a GORGEOUS shoe! My wife had my 2 sons to help pitch in and get them for me since they are over $300. I absolutley love these shoes. ❤😊😊🏆

Im not into trends or going for a certain look. I just wanna look like i have some self respect and luckily, my big sis taught me how to do that without looking tacky growing up. The darker brown ones have gotten me compliments when i wear them with regular fit jeans and a neutral color polo or dress shirt.

I love taking cruises, and I have to fly to the port, because I live in Ohio. When you can't pack much for the trip, these shoes are perfect for shorts, jeans, kakies and beach weare. I can combine them with multiple outfits. Of course they don't match a suit, but everything down from there is perfect and don't take the bulk in your suite case
I have 7 pairs lol i love them so much 😍
These are the best shoes when wearing shorts behind a low tops sneakers of course..

I luv boat shoes . The style is so cool . They can be worn in any casual attire . You don't wear it with tuxedo of course .
The only negative stigma of Deck shoes that I can remember happened back around the 70's & 80s the negative of the shoes was that it was a status symbol for having Money . Back in the 80's the Richie's as they were called never mingled with a non rich person. in recent years it's been stylishly popular again . During the 80's I remember Payless and Kmart selling there brand of Deck shoes and the deck sneakers. I have been kicking around with one shape or another of Deck shoes or deck sneakers for close to forty years.

I can see midwesterners not being used to them. But if you live within 200 miles of a big lake or the ocean I’m sure you’ve owned a few. Being from Florida, they’re “preppie kit” and “workwear essentials” in my book.
I wear them solely because they get hate lol also they’re comfy. I go to school and even play casual basketball in them sometimes. I also wear them with ankle socks unless I’m wearing sweatpants then I wear long socks.

Starter for your 2nd video The 85+ yr old invention of the boat shoe is cool and *verifiable*. Please reiterate wearing them with shorts / socks is plain bad. But they ARE very versatile - not out of place with t-shirts / cutoffs all the way to the causal side of blazer / tie. True, they are no good with anything more formal. However, I once met Dennis Conner in a tux while rocking a pair of patent leather Sperrys.

I have disliked boat shoes for years, and I recently started wondering why. I actually don't believe it is any of these standarized stigmas, but it is definitely seeing it worn wrong on people. They look TERRIBLE with athletic socks and I quite frankly don't think they look great with any legwear beyond chinos and shorts.

Stylish , comfortable , casual - can be dressed up or down - better than a stupid sneaker - better than a stupid hob-stomper [ unless there is a foot of snow outside ] - I wear them year round at work - even if I need to drive there in snow gear. Period said. "Clients" seem to see them and feel more comfortable - that's maybe just where I live - Y'all decide that for yourselves.

Boat shoes with shorts and jeans or maybe khakis without socks.
Definitely not a dressy shoe but the shoe you have in the video is outdated…today the shoes come in different colors, materials, and designs. My sperrys have no laces and 1000% comfortable. As a woman I think the shoes are sexy and classy if used correctly. Oh and I always always get compliments wearing my sperrys. I challenge you to buy some and wear them then give us a review.
Hate is a bit strong but from my viewpoint they're not for me.
