Sometimes, you need a boat shoe. Whether you’re actually on a boat, the golf course or just upping your sophistication a bit, a top-sider is always a great option. But for those of us too stubborn to completely switch over to the shoes our dads have been rocking for decades, there are some great sneaker options out there. <\/p>\n

Deck shoe-inspired but not without their steez, the following 10 kicks are great options to help you achieve the same effect as wearing a traditional boat shoe without losing your sneaker swag.<\/p>\n

Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski “Chambray”<\/h4>\n

The Zoom Stefan Janoski is no fresh face, but continually hot make-ups keep it relevant. The Woodgrain pairthat surfaced this week is nice, but we’re partial to this summer-ready chambray pair. Bright colors are versatile design ensure this one’s reliability.<\/p>\n

adidas Originals by Originals Kazuki Kuraishi Moccasin<\/h4>\n

Kazuki’s Moccasin isn’t your average sneaker in any way, but the unique take on the classic toe, midfoot and ankle shape, all combined with the running shoe outsole, means you’re getting what you pay for. The tassels are a nice touch, too.<\/p>\n
