Boat Shoe

The boat shoe design was well-received by sailing communities and became widespread within marine workers. In 1939 the US navy noticed these innovative shoes and signed a contract standard issue boat shoes for the US navy sailors in WWII.

Contemporary boat shoes are crafted from a rubber sole and usually have a leather or canvas upper. Leather uppers give a smart aesthetic which can be office-friendly, or canvas give a casual look perfect for your weekend rotations. To let your boat shoes be shown off to best effect, we recommend wearing with trousers or shorts; or try rolling up your jeans a couple of inches or pairing with chino shorts for off-duty looks.

Loafer

Easy-going or strictly formal the loafer shoe has multiple stories of origin, bearing connection to the original moccasin construction with traditional North American roots, the loafer is believed to have risen to style in 1930’s Norway and evolved into a recognised timeless classic suiting every fashion, ranging from casual through to formal. Characterised by its lace-less, slip-on design, the loafer is generally constructed with either a whole piece of leather or two sections of leather with a signature apron seam.

Moccasin

The moccasin shoe is famed for its unrivalled comfort and casual silhouette, often crafted in soft leathers, nubucks or suede, to give a supple support that fits your foot’s form, so you can wear your mocs straight out of the box. A genuine moccasin is crafted with a single stretch of leather which forms the insole and the quarters of the shoe, another stretch of leather gathers at the edges of the quarters to create the classic apron seam.
