The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the lines and construction to the hand-stitching characteristic of boat shoes and their invisible welt stitching.
The boat shoes for men have established themselves as a must-have in the summer and mid-season wardrobe. Made from supple leather that softens to conform to the shape of the foot, they accompany days in the city as well as weekends by the water. At Pied de Biche, our leather boat shoes for men are designed in La Rochelle and manufactured in our partner workshops in Portugal. Within our collection of shoes for men, they offer a relaxed, robust and easy-to-wear silhouette throughout the summer.
Notched sole boat shoes
Notched boat shoes revisit this great classic in a more contemporary version. Its rubber sole offers very good grip on the ground. It adds character to the upper, without taking away from the flexibility of this shoe for men. A structured silhouette that goes easily with mid-season outfits as well as summer days.
Crepe boat shoes
The crepe sole offers immediate comfort and good cushioning from the first days. It highlights the clean lines of the boat shoe in a more raw style. A pleasant model to wear every day, ideal with jeans, chinos or linen pants.
How to wear men's boat shoes?
Boat shoes with or without socks?
Traditionally, boat shoes are worn barefoot on sunny days. To protect the insole on a daily basis, invisible socks remain an excellent option. In mid-season, you can also pair them with exposed cotton socks for a more assertive style.
Boat shoes with jeans or pants?
Thanks to their versatility, boat shoes easily fit into a casual men's wardrobe:
Raw or faded straight jeans
Chinos
Light linen pants
Well-cut Bermuda shorts
A linen shirt or cotton polo shirt
