Boating Shoes and Boots

Defender carries top boat shoe brands, like Sperry Topsider, Rugged Shark, Gill, Grunden's, Helly Hansen. These are real boat shoes--not shoes that just look like boat shoes. We stock casual boat shoes and the most advanced technical performance sailing shoes. We have dinghy booties as well as offshore sailing boots. Our boating shoes have non-marking soles designed to disperse water under foot and reduce slippage on wet surfaces.Boat shoes aren't just any old shoes. Decks are wet and slippery they also mark from dark soles. Waterproof shoes, boats sandals and boat sneakers are all found at Defender.

Which are the most comfortable boat shoes?

Even in footwear you need to consider the application. Are you on your feet all day in the cockpit? Or on the bridge in the sunshine?
