Embrace nautical style with our collection of Men's Boat Shoes, the preppy classic that has sailed from yacht decks to become a warm-weather wardrobe essential. Featuring distinctive leather uppers, 360-degree lacing and specially designed non-marking rubber soles, deck shoes deliver the perfect combination of laid-back sophistication and practical comfort for spring and summer.

Our men's boat shoes feature the traditional hand-sewn moccasin construction that provides flexibility and comfort from first wear. The siped rubber soles offer excellent grip on wet surfaces, while quality leather uppers develop a beautiful patina over time. Available in classic tan, navy and white, these shoes epitomise relaxed elegance.

Boat shoes work brilliantly with rolled chinos, shorts and linen trousers for effortless summer style - traditionally worn without socks for the authentic deck shoe look. For more casual footwear options, explore our loafers or browse casual shoes. View all men's shoes for more styles.

Boat Shoes FAQs

Should you wear socks with boat shoes?

Traditionally, boat shoes are worn without socks for an authentic nautical look. However, no-show socks are a practical compromise - they absorb moisture while maintaining the sockless appearance. If you prefer visible socks, choose lightweight cotton in complementary colours.
Can you wear boat shoes in water?

While boat shoes were designed for wet boat decks, they're not waterproof. The leather uppers can handle splashes and damp conditions but shouldn't be submerged. If they get wet, allow them to dry naturally away from direct heat. Regular conditioning helps maintain water resistance.
How do you stop boat shoes from smelling?

Wearing no-show socks helps absorb moisture. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears - at least 24 hours. Use cedar shoe trees to absorb odour and moisture. Sprinkle baking soda inside overnight periodically. Some people freeze their boat shoes to kill odour-causing bacteria.
Are boat shoes business casual?

Boat shoes sit at the casual end of business casual. They work well in relaxed creative environments, especially during summer, but may be too informal for traditional corporate settings. Pair with chinos and a blazer for a smart-casual Friday look. Avoid wearing with formal suits.
