Crocs Men's Santa Cruz Loafers

Product Information

The interior is lined with soft padding. Like other Vans shoes, they provide exceptional support in vulnerable areas, with plenty of cushioning to keep your feet comfortable and protected in the event of a fall. Like all Crocs, the main construction material is Croslite, a closed-cell resin that offers a soft and comfortable, lightweight sole, with serious grip and waterproof protection. This synthetic Croslite sole design makes these shoes ideal for casual wear and recreational boating too. On the bottom, Timberland has fitted these Piper Cove shoes with rubber soles manufactured from partially recycled rubber. Suede is another popular leather type, made from a deeper hide cut, with a sanded finish. It’s soft leather and nice to touch, and very comfortable to wear. It can also be dyed in a variety of colors.

Since you’ll be in a marine environment, having boat shoes with a degree of water resistance would be a useful feature. They don’t need to be completely waterproof, since you shouldn’t be wearing them underwater, but a material with a chemical treatment that allows water to run off of your shoes rather than soak in to them will make your wearing experience more enjoyable. It will also help your shoes to last longer, since salt water can damage leather and canvas. The main portion of the shoe is made from 100% leather, with hand stitched joins and features. The uppers are made from a single piece of strong leather, and the result is a close and comfortable fitting shoe that look timeless. They’re classic in design, and in truth, the look hasn’t changed much in the past 50 years. Memory foam insoles are a particularly useful feature, especially if you plan to be on your feet for long periods of time. Orthopedic linings can really boost your shoes comfort factor, and there are some that are designed to closely hug your feet and provide a very close and comfortable fit. If you have foot problems, opting for a special insole could really make a difference.Inside, the insole’s feature Orhtolite cushioning for added comfort, resting on a bevelled heel section for better stability. A vulcanized sealing method forms a secure bond between the upper and the sole sections. The outsole is made from a flexible non-marking rubber material. The sole features a molded wave-siping tread pattern that offers incredible traction over both wet and dry surfaces. No-slip guaranteed! Other cool features on this shoe include the lace-up closures which come equipped with a classic two-hole fastening, metal eyelets, and contrasting laces. Vans are one of the most recognizable footwear brands on the market. While the Vans name is better associated with the skate scene, the brand has expanded and now produces cool, casual, and protective shoes for a wide range of markets. These Vans, the Zapato Del Barca boat shoes, are proof of that.

These boating shoes feature uppers made entirely from leather. At the front, they have a Moc-toe shape, with detailed contrast stitching embellishments. Each shoe has a leather lining and insole for added comfort. The result is a fashionable look with a comfortable fit. Made from soft woven canvas, the upper section of these shoes are similar to traditional moccasins in shape. The top section also has a leather panel section that houses the lace eyelets, and bold stitching that give it a rebellious look.These Sperry boat shoes are fastened together with a 360(0) lacing system, with rawhide laces and rustproof eyelets. Antimicrobial boat shoes are also worth seeking out. These specially treated shoes are designed to stop the spreading of bacteria, which can lead to bad odors and foot infections. It’s not even a matter of personal hygiene: if you’re standing in damp shoes—a common thing on boats—then bacteria will get in and breed. Consider an antimicrobial treatment to keep that bacteria at bay. The Look Established in 1998, BoatSafe is your independent guide into the world of boating, fishing, and watersports. We provide expert insights and detailed guides to help you find products tailored to your needs and budget. Man-made materials like Nylon, polyester, rubber, and others are also widely used in boat shoe manufacture. These materials are great for use in marine environments, since many of them are waterproof, or designed to withstand the elements better. Leather shoes don’t fair well underwater, but a pair of rubber shoes will be fine. These materials allow for more durable shoes that can be worn in a variety of conditions, usually for years. Sole Properties Anyone who knows anything about footwear will be familiar with the Timberland brand. While the brand is famous for boots, Timberland boat shoes are also held in high regard. Timberland’s Piper Cove range are ideal for life a life on the ocean waves, but they’re also very comfortable on dry land too.
