Mens boat shoes are the last word in fashion, comfort and utility. The shoes were originally designed for activity on slippery boat decks. The first company to manufacture and commercialise the boat shoes was Sperry Shoe Company, and there is a very interesting story behind the conceptualisation of the shoe and its mastermind Mr. Paul Sperry.

After a long and extended search he couldnt find one and immediately decided to put his experience in making shoes to use by designing a shoe that serves his purpose.
