I have a very divided opinion on boat shoes. To me Boat shoes are what 50 something french men wear and I had difficulties to imagine young cool men wearing them. But I started to like them. I think it's a question of color. I still don't like brown ones but red or even the yellow ones I posted recently are very cool.
I quit like these two colored ones.

Well well, comment from 60+ swiss man, you might have to reconsider what fashion is all about. Obviously Sebagos and Sperry Topsiders were the thing in the eighties. But for more than 2 years they have been creeping up our spine slowly. Why - because they are colorful, functional and give me a chance to leave flip flops in the drawer. And after all, even the satorialist thinks they are cool. I call that progress.

You all sound like faggs. Boat shoes are a classic and are still popular with all ages. Stop overanylizing and giving stupid sounding all over the place opinions on fashion. You sound like you think you know more than you actually know. whats with the french man comment? Boat shoes are very american...fucking idiot self proclaimed fashion expert, bag of douch

Way to go Tom. Boat shoes were introduced by Native Americans to white european settlers when they came to America...they were a form of mocassin made by the natives. European settlers noticed how tough and water resistant they were so they preferred using them on sea voyages to Europe. They are very much authentic American, if there is such a thing. And whether or not you like how they look, top siders are very comfortable.
