Boat Shoes that Smell, What Can You Do?

Boat shoes can be kept smelling fresh even when you don’t wear socks. All it takes is a little bit of care with your leather shoes and one way to do this is to take your shoes off and leave to dry out throughly. When I get new leather boat shoes I purchase a pair of cotton inserts so that I can just remove the inner sole and pop them into the washing machine.

Every other time I wear the boat shoes all I do is sprinkle bi carbonate of soda inside the shoe. This neutralisers the smell and this is a whole lot cheaper than anything else you could buy over the counter..and besides it works!

Is it OK to wear deck/boat shoes with jeans?

At my job, we don’t have to dress up. I work for an IT department and sometimes I have to crawl around on the floor and up in attics. But it isn’t exactly digging ditches either… We try to look semi-dressed up. Would it look dorky to wear boat shoes with jeans and a polo shirt to achieve the semi-dressed up look? Are boat shoes just for shorts, no socks, and to go out on the lake with? I know it might not be the most fashionable thing (that’s okay), but I just don’t want to be doing a well-known nono, like wearing a black belt with blue slacks for example.

My new Sperry boat shoes puff are out the top of the shoe. Is this normal?

These are the first Sperrys I’ve ever gotten and with every step they puff air up my ankle. Like really puff air, I could live with feeling it but I, and everyone around me, can hear it.

I’m very flat footed and my feet kinda cock outward, like the opposite of pigeon toed.

Will this stop when they break in? Or should I return these shoes right away?

It does not make the sound if I wear socks, but those just look stupid with Sperrys.

The back of my shoes is rubbing against my heel bone. What’s wrong?

I bought some Sperry Top Sider boat shoes and every time I wear them I get scraped up from all the rubbing against my heel bone on the back of the shoe. What’s wrong? These are the kind of shoes that guys don’t wear socks with by the way.

Is it cool for young men to wear casual shoes without socks on?

Dose wearing casual shoes like canvas boat shoes for example look better without socks. Just for everyday wear like with jeans, T Shirt ect, not formal like in the office ect. What do girls think of it, dose it look better? And also I lived in a flat with a bunch of girls and it’s a bit of a taboo subject, if a guy’s unfortunate enough to have to take his shoes off, girls can get a little bitchy sometimes about bare feet.

How Do You Remove The Smell From Boat Shoes?

So I’ve been wearing this pair of boat shoes for a while (canvas outer). Since they’re boat shoes, I wear them without socks. Recently they’ve been smelling really bad.

What should I do? I have very good foot hygiene, so that’s not the problem. Any advice would help. Thanks.

Guys. What do you think of wearing boat shoes/deck shoes without socks? Are they a good dress up shoe?

Back in 85, which was the year I started JR. High, I seen a lot of boys wear boat shoes without socks. I had quite a few deck shoes (or better known as decks) and I never wear socks in them. Anybody out there like deck shoes?
