Women's Boat Shoes have become one of the most stylish forms of footwear available, and because they come in such a vast variety of colors and designs you can understand why. There are a handful of brand names that stand out in the world of women's deck shoes but we'll get into that later.
If you've done a little research on Topsiders then you're more than likely to know how they came about and what they were originally intended for, but for those of you who haven't then here you go. Back in 1935 an avid boater called Paul Sperry craved to design a pair of shoes that could prevent you from slipping around on deck while working out at sea. One day while watching his dog running around on some ice, he noticed that it didn't really have any trouble achieving this as we obviously would. Intrigued, he investigated a little further and noticed patterns and grooves on the dogs paws that provided the grip, this gave him the idea for a leather upper-shoe with a herringbone pattern of grooves on the sole, and they you go, a brief history on boat shoes. Since then they have forever grown in popularity, starting off as just a shoe to help men maintain grip while out at sea, to as they are now, one of the most beautifully made and gorgeous looking pieces of footwear around.
