What makes them boat shoes, exactly? They look like loafers with some decorative lacing, mostly. Did the laces help them stay on when you wore them on a boat? Is it handy to be able to slide them on and off quickly?
David_Dovey:
I think the idea that they are typically made out of canvas w/ a grippy rubber sole is generally what made them boat-ready. Remember that they were invented before shoes made of anything but leather were a rarity.
Metope:
I kinda want a pair of boat shoes because this summer I will be on a BOAT
McTaggart:
Waterproof canvas + grippy, white or gum soles + seems around the top of the front of the shoe so the water doesn't get in so easily makes them boat shoes I think.
