Whether you're perched on the deck of a yacht or strolling along the city sidewalk, you can't go wrong with a stylish pair of women's boat shoes. Typically characterized by a razor-siped sole, moc toe, and 360° lace-up closure, boat shoes made the switch from sailing gear to fashion statement long ago. Timeless yet trendy, they are perfect for the woman who wants a casual shoe with sophisticated flair. Boat shoes are as comfortable as they are classy, making them perfect for all-day wear: slip them on for a brunch date, and revel in their coziness all the way through dinner and beyond.
At Englin's Fine Footwear, most of our boat shoes are made by Sperry, the company founded by the boat shoe's original inventor. Paul Sperry was an experienced sailor himself, and he came up with the boat shoe as an alternative to the less adequate footwear that was unsafe for wearing on deck. Sperry boat shoes, or Top-Siders, quickly became an American icon. Today, Sperry boat shoes for women are as much about looking and feeling great as they are about traction on wet surfaces, making them a versatile style choice for women from all walks of life.
Pair boat shoes with your favorite casual outfits, especially jeans, capri pants, and shorts. If you're fashionably daring, wear a pretty pair of boat shoes with a mini dress or knee-length skirt to dial down the elegance. Add a nautical touch to your wardrobe with women's boat shoes!
