Boat shoes
Boat shoes are a unique type of footwear: they’re incredibly versatile and can be worn with a wide variety of outfits. Additionally, they’re a particularly interesting option for the summer season. They are characterized by their low-cut construction, which makes them ideal for higher temperatures. Where does this interesting name come from? Originally, this type of shoe was designed for sailors, helping them maintain their footing on slippery boat decks. Over time, more and more people began to appreciate their functionality. Equipped with a non-slip rubber sole, boat shoes are now a perfect choice for warm days—especially those spent by the sea.

They typically have a low heel or, most often, no heel at all. They pair particularly well with casual chinos, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
Moccasins
Loafers and moccasins are sometimes confused, as they can look quite similar. Both types of shoes are slip-ons. However, moccasins often feature lacing as a decorative element.
