First of all, it is suitable for the current season, and it has excellent breathability, which is unmatched by other leather shoes.
The white stitching on the heel is a signature feature of sailing shoes, which can drain and dissipate heat, and it is not easy to sore feet, which is also a decorative highlight.

Second, the shoe was originally designed for crew working at sea, so the sole is very slip-resistant, allowing you to walk steadily in the rainy autumn.
It is highly recommended that friends who drive have a pair in the car, the sole is light and comfortable, and the sensitivity under the foot is very sufficient, which is most suitable for long-term driving.

Sailing shoes are called sailing shoes because they were born on the sea. Its history begins with Paul Sperry, an American seafaring sportsman in the last century.
Born into a family of seafarers, he was associated with the sea since he was a child, but he almost died because the soles of his shoes slipped on the deck several times.

He then accidentally observed that his dog could walk flat even on ice, and inspired by the fine lines on the dog’s paws, he invented a herringbone rubber sole.
The world’s first pair of sailing shoes was born.
Since then, sailing shoes have become almost the standard for sailing enthusiasts and crews, and the U.S. Navy made them official shoes during World War II.
In the 70s, a kind of rich children’s college style was on the rise, and sailing shoes were popular in the shoe cabinets of the children of Ivy rich families as a must-have for outdoor sports.
Wearing such a pair of shoes under your feet is the best proof of the elite educational background and healthy living attitude.
And when the Kennedy family was photographed on a sea vacation, this special shoe for marine work completely completed the gorgeous transition from practicality to pop culture symbols, becoming a classic representative of rich and leisure American life.
In recent years, with the popularity of the Japanese magazine “POPEYE”, a fashion trend called “CITY BOY” has been launched.
The sailing shoes, which are often featured in magazines, have also evolved into an indispensable daily matching artifact for sophisticated urban boys.

Because of this, major brands are also actively incorporating this shoe into their product catalogs, improving on classic designs to make them more in line with today’s daily wear demands and aesthetic preferences.
Whether you are a business elite, a workwear man or a trendy player, a pair of decent and easy-to-wear sailing shoes can satisfy you.
If you’re already interested in it, look down, and the following brands from YOKA may be a good reference.

Sperry

Founded in 1935, the brand has accumulated a lot of practical experience at sea, and is significantly better than other brands in terms of history and process performance.

So to recommend sailing shoes, Sperry is definitely not bypassed, its classic basic model is worth buying.
However, because the design tends to be more traditional, it is more suitable for friends over 40 years old with conservative personalities.
John Lobb
This is a century-old British shoe brand, known as the “king of handmade custom shoes”, in the material and workmanship are impeccable.
Its shoes may not seem amazing, but if you really take it in your hand and look closely, you can definitely feel that its simplicity is not simple.

The details stand up to the scrutiny and exude a low-key yet rich luxury.
I won’t say much else, if you have a good budget, just rush your friends.
If you are not interested in the original conservative sailing shoes above, YOKA Jun also has the following recommendations for younger people.
Whether it is color, material, style is more diverse, not only respecting its original design essence in shape and function but also adding unique fashion taste, it is definitely the best choice for daily matching

Timberland
This American brand is familiar to everyone, but what you may not know is that in addition to the rhubarb boots, their boat shoes are also excellent.
Model 30003 is worth a punch, it uses a tooth-scratching rubber outsole, compared to the more traditional thin bottom, it can highlight the presence of the feet, while ensuring the sense of shape, but also taking into account comfort and durability.
If you don’t have 30003, 50009 is also a good choice.
The color is burgundy, which is too good to look at and match clothes.
Yuketen
Japanese people are not generally fanatical about American culture, and if there is any brand that can make American casual style unique, it must be a Japanese brand.
Yuketen I really recommend it to everyone, and I am very good at playing tricks in small places such as lace holes, sole lines, laces, and materials.

There is both the perverted obsession with details in the bones of the Japanese, and the eclectic rough sexiness of the American style.
It looks rough, but it’s very advanced.
Although it is a little more expensive, it is full of sincerity in design, and straight men who like workwear should have such a pair of shoes.
Given the nearly 100-year history of sailing shoes, there are naturally some traditional dressing guidelines, and here are some styling tips to keep you right π
Not wearing socks is a respect for tradition:
Sailing shoes are meant for sailing, so it’s perfectly OK not to wear socks.
And as mentioned above, it has a special drainage design, so it is very breathable and can keep your feet dry.
If you’re not used to wearing shoes barefoot, you can also wear invisible socks.

In spring, autumn and winter, it is highly recommended that young boys wear white ribbed thick cotton socks, which is the soul of CITY BOY style, which looks retro and small.
If you want to be a delicate boy who can dress and match in the girl’s mind, you can try it.
Do not wear it with narrow pants:
Whether it’s trousers, cargo pants, jeans, sailing shoes must be a straight and loose fit.
If the pants are long, it is best to pull them up so that they do not cover the upper and expose the ankles appropriately.
Narrow pants are not OK, and it is easy to wear a sense of social shaking
In the early autumn transition period, shorts are a good choice, compared with slippers, with such a pair of leather shoes look more youthful and energetic.

The lace tying method is exquisite:
The unique shape of the laces is also a highlight of sailing shoes.
This system is called “caterpillar knot”, and the specific operation method is as follows:
The small thinking in details can highlight a person’s concept of dressing, which is enough to make the overall texture of the appearance higher than others.
Friends who are less than 175cm tall should look for a thick bottom:
Traditional sailing soles are usually thinner, so friends who are not tall enough and have legs that are not long enough will appear to be out of proportion when worn.
Especially when the clothes are heavy, the overall look is particularly “top-heavy”.
Therefore, in order to better modify the figure, it is recommended to choose a style with a thicker sole, so that it looks more visually coordinated and has a stronger sense of shape.
A pair of sailing shoes, comfortable, durable, versatile, when you don’t know what shoes to wear with today’s clothes, it’s a good thing to wear.
Although it can’t bring you the flashy inner satisfaction compared to those sky-high sneakers, it has its own low-key, unique retro temperament that is impressive.
It is enough to make you look fresh and tasteful in today’s street trend.
Such an excellent pair of leather shoes, who did not buy them ??
