For those who frequent the beach, it’s probably no surprise that you’re looking for a shoe that’s comfortable, offers protection, and lets you keep moving. If that is your case, there is no better shoe for you than a boat shoe.
Boat shoes (also known as topsiders) are great beach shoes for multiple reasons. First, they look great. Second, they are built to withstand the elements, especially water. Lastly, they provide great protection for when you’re trying to find the “perfect spot” to lay down, or playing a game of beach volleyball on hot sand.
Topsiders have been popular for years. When I was talking to my mom on the phone recently, she even took note of her revival. She said that they’ve been around forever (since the ’80s) and that she thinks it’s great that they’re making a comeback. Stylists agree, boat shoes are a great looking summer shoe and should be the closest thing to everyone who is fashion conscious.
Another advantage of wearing boat shoes at the beach is their high-quality construction. Many roofs, especially Sperry ones, come waterproofed from the factory. That protects them from cracking due to moisture over time. Second, the tread-shaped rubber outsole is heat resistant and makes walking through hot sand a breeze.
Combining the two points mentioned above, you need something elegant and stylish for when you are in limbo on the beach. Boat shoes are easy to slip on and off, giving your feet the style and protection they need to stay healthy and make the most of your relaxing day at the beach.
