Men’s Authentic Original Barrel Lace by Jeffrey’s; Click here to Buy It Now at Sperry Top-Sider, $80
We weren’t playin’ when we said we were riding hard for boat shoes this summer. They’re the quintessential summer shoe—you can wear ‘em with jeans, khaki’s or shorts. No matter which brand you go with—Sperry Top Sides, Eastlands, Vans—your summer will be all the better. And while there’s no right way to rock a pair, one of the most classic boat shoe looks involves having the laces tied up in a spiral that has become known as the Eastland Knot. As an added bonus to the Best of Boat Shoes post, Complex asked Eastland how to tie the eponymous knot. Thank us later.

Even if the only deck you’ll be on this summer is in the back of your friends house, a nice pair of boat shoes should find their way into your wardrobe sooner than later. Yep, we’re still co-signing the boat shoe. If you’ve been paying attention, you’d have noticed a bunch of designers dropping their own renditions of the classic silhouette that up until a couple years ago was known solely as the footwear of the prep set.
From the OG Sperry Top-Sider to the more casual stylings of Vans and Band of Outsiders, Complex picked out the 10 Best Boat Shoes of the season. Just because you won’t be on a yacht this summer, doesn’t mean you can’t act as if. Word to Boiler Room.

Hate on the Imperial Skateboard P all you want, but he'll continue to re-invent himself, sort of. Sure BBC may have bit the tip of other silhouettes, but we'd be lying if we said we'd rather hit the block in some pin-cushiony boat shoes and not these. Expect to see them at the New York flagship store soon.
