The 5 Best Mens Summer Shoes for 2023
Undoubtedly Deck shoes, Boat shoes, Docksiders or Sailing shoes - whatever you wish to call them - cover a wide spectrum of essential summer wear for the British Gent.
Our favourite supplier of these styles has to be Orca Bay.
The quality of the leathers, the soles and construction is second to none. Of course there are much cheaper equivalents but they simply do not have the same standards.
So what makes a 'good' deck shoe?
Obviously the leather itself is vitally important. Orca Bay use a range of Saddle leathers, pull-up leathers, nubucks, oiled nubucks and soft suedes.
Combine high quality input materials with manufacturing consistency and you have a durable and comfy shoe to last not just one season but several. Not only that, Orca bay shoes keep their shape. So many cheap boat shoes have thin leathers and poor colouring and they simply look cheap - especially after a soaking or two in salt water.
Orca Bay use rust resistant eyelets, raw hide leather laces, salt/weather resistant leather, razor cust rubber soles. all vital ingredients for 'proper' sailors - but you don't have to be a sailor to require durable shoes.
So here is our pick of the 5 of the best essentials for this summer of 2021.
- For the serious walker wanting a robust performer with support and strong sole - the BUFFALO - in 2 colours
- For the casual garden potterer / stroll to the beach - the CREEK - in 3 colours
- For the smart casual al-fresco diner - the sneaker
- For the serious sailor - the CHEROKEE in 2 colours
- And finally for the older gent or those who don't want laces - the FRIPP - in 3 colours
