As we move into spring and the days stretch longer, wardrobes are shifting towards lighter layers, and one trend that’s sailing firmly into the spotlight is the return of the boat shoe.
Once considered a purely preppy staple, the style has been reimagined this season with elevated materials, versatile silhouettes, and a fresh dose of ease.
From R.M.Williams’ refined craftsmanship, to Timberland’s iconic outdoors-meets-streetwear aesthetic, and Bared Footwear’s contemporary, comfort-led take, each brand has anchored its own spin on this timeless shoe.
We’ve pulled together a few of our favourite styles below:
R.M. WILLIAMS Dockyard moccasin boat shoe
A rugged and adventure-ready shoe for year-round dressing. This style is crafted from pull-up leather in a moccasin construction, with leather lacing and a treaded rubber sole.
