Living between two rivers and having a heart that belongs to the ocean, it is safe to say a pair of boat shoes will always belong in my closet.

Although I’m not the preppiest & the Sperry Top-Sider brand tends to gather that reputation, I couldn’t be prouder to wear them around. Not only are they comfortable, but they beat the everyday sneaker and come in a variety of colors that appeal to every interest imaginable.

Ps. I got these at a Sperry outlet store, and trust me, I still couldn’t decide which ones I wanted based on how many options I had to consider. When in doubt, go for the outlets.
