Boat shoes

So I'm cruising in October and I'm looking to get some boat shoes to wear on the boat/everywhere. Looking for some suggestions. What do you wear? Fav pair? Best bang for the buck? (Cost isn't an issue really but why pay more than you need to) thanks for the input!!

.....I wear Rockport sandals, Reebok sneakers and Puma flip flops.

Hope this helps.

We never cruise without our Sperry Top-Siders! :D

Adidas sandals (the kind that athletes wear), Crocs flip flops. Skechers sneakers.

Have to wear the Adidas on the pool deck. They will not slip. No Old Navy $2 flip flops for me.

Florsheim boat shoes and Crocs (covered toes with strap about heel). Has worked well for 12 cruises as I still have 2 feet and 10 toes...;)

I wear Dunham boat shoes, Aztec closed toe sandals , And New Balance sneaker's .

Most boats that are used for excursions want you in bare feet. You take off your shoes before boarding. Now, on the ship, that is a different matter......

I wear Crocs Mary Janes mostly on the ship. I also have Keen hiking sandals that I love for water type shore excursions.

Rockport boat shoes almost all the time. Not sure about these remarks on Crocs/Sandals when you asked about boat shoes

I had croc sandals before and loved them, also had some crocs dressish shoes that I loved. I was looking the croc boat shoes, but also have been looking at the sebago, rockport and others. Looking for comfortable and something I can wear with shorts or pants

I wear flip flops almost all day.. at night, I wear heels! You do NOT need "boat" shoes on a cruise ship, unless you like them!

Not sure my wife would appreciate me wearing heels at night.......

I know I don't "have" to have boat shoes...I want them.

I find Sperry topsiders to be uncomfortable - no supportive insole. And I need a supportive insole! My husband has some fabulous Tommy Bahama boat shoe/loafer combos from the Nordstrom sale a few years ago -very comfy! We both like Rockport as well though he doesn't have any of the boat shoe style (I think my FIL does, however).

Another brand to try (obv you're going to want to buy what is most comfortable on you:p) is Bass. At a slightly lower price point (on sale at Macys) is a Skechers version. http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/skechers-mens-usa-relaxed-fit-berdon-messi-boat-shoes-from-finish-line?ID=1560077&pla_country=US&CAWELAID=120156340000569976&CAGPSPN=pla&cm_mmc=Google_Mens_Shoes_Corp_PLA-_-Mens_Shoes_Brands_Under_Armour_PLA_Under_Armour_PLA-_-26461169474-_-mkwid_nVfF24MZ|dc_26461169474%7C-%7CnVfF24MZ

I like this Tommy Bahama http://www.zappos.com/tommy-bahama-relaxology-boat-shoe-beige?ef_id=VAPLKQAAAWu0@yET:20140901012601:s

There are boat shoes everywhere. Start trying them on to see which fit you like :D

My husband buys his at Sears and they are really nice quality .. I don't remember the brand, but I think it is the only boat shoes that they have. I know they look nice and wear well.

I wish I could wear them too .. but even sperry don't fit me.

Keen water shoes, try the whisper light. Both DH & I wear them

Thanks for the Sears tip. Never thought about them! Good selection, too.

The soles have no grip, can be slippery when wet. When they get wet the insides get very wonky as they seem to be a covered heavy duty cardboard- type material.

Also Birkenstocks aren't good. Don't want the cork foot beds getting wet.
