Additional description
The luxuriously comfortable men’s boat shoe in waxy brown leather is stylish, elegant and extremely versatile. Made by Barbour, a shoemaking brand that has been established for over a century, this eye catching men’s boat shoe can be worn all-year-round and will be easily matched with a variety of smart casual outfits.
Boat shoes were created out of necessity in 1935 when a man named Paul A. Sperry from New Haven, Connecticut, was out walking with his dog in the icy weather. He observed the fact that his dog could run across icy terrain without slipping. Upon inspection of his dog’s paws, the idea came to him to cut thin slips into the soles of his shoes to obtain a better grip. This formed the basis by which boat shoes would be developed on. In the 1970s, boat shoes were worn in all climates and by a wide variety of people, and continue to be popular to this day.
The waxy brown boat shoe by Barbour is made from the highest quality brown leather with beautifully rich colouring. The simple three eyelet lacing system supports dark brown laces and is easy to tie up. The shoe has a stylish demi boot cut pattern, making it somewhat different to your average boat shoe. For added detail, there’s also a subtle Barbour embossed logo on the rear.
For reliability and durability, the boat shoe features a rubber sole in a contrasting colour, with slates for grip. Inside the men’s boat shoe is Barbour’s iconic tartan fabric lining, as well as a padded insole.
We recommend pairing this exceptionally well made men’s boat shoe with a smart pair of stone or navy chinos, a button up checked long sleeved shirt and smart brown leather belt. Extremely limited stock for this season only.
