I'm On a Boat: Our Favorite Shoes to Sail Away In
Tap It!

Between snow and sandal season is the perfect time to treat your feet and buy some boatshoes, boys and girls.
No longer just for swabbies and scaliwags, boatshoes have gotten the redux-treatment from some of our most favorite designers, including Vane, Band of Outsiders, A.P.C., Gucci and even Lanvin. Here are our favorite picks for ladies and gents alike.
The stitching around the ankle on these cuties from Pointer lends a subtle edge (and that tomato red is the near perfect summer shade). 
The classic Sperry Brick-soled design gets an upgrade with sumptuous suede and matching laces in four staple shades. 
More for knocking around town in than for sailing the bounding main, the tie-died take will look perfect with a little sundress or cutoffs. 
For the colorful characters out there, these Yuketen boaters have a convenient pull-and-go bungee lace (what a cinch!); Lanvin's sophisticated and subtle version uses lovely contrast stitching with suede and leather.
For the ladies who lunch, there is a pony hair option, croc, or snakeskin (or, why not grab all three?).
What's the verdict, have we convinced you to go boating yet?
