I need to work on a boat this summer, i need a shoe for hot weather that i won't really care if it gets wet or not. Is this really my only choice?

i dont know why ppl opt for these kinds of shoes on a boat. leather doesnt dry very fast or breathe well. if youre going to get them wet a lot, id opt for something like these.

Unless you are cosplaying, then go with the leather

they are literally called "boat shoes," made specifically to be used during boating. i'm sure there is a practical reason why they are leather

and tennis shoes were made specifically to be used during tennis. but you dont see pros wearing adidas court vantage. same goes for yachting, whether its competitive or tourism. and if op is working on a tug or some other shipping related boat he'll need weatherproof steel toe boots. boat shoes are a relic of the past that people wear for fashion, they dont even have non-slip traction.

you said leather isn't more uncomfortable than canvas. you don't know what you are talking about. leather can be comfy, so can fabric. >>14236776

If I was a nautical anon I'd wear these, they're pretty sick. Though I'd prolly wear em when I'm docked, chilling in the coast towns. Wet leather sucks. If the job doesn't require work boots, Id go with

get something breathable and quick drying.
these guys >>14235903 >>14236776 are the only people making sense here.

the fact that you're asking this on /fa/ and not /out/ mean's you just want to cosplay so just get the sperrys >>14236198

You are correct about boat shoes being a relic, but i have worked in the past with steel-toe boots in hot weather and it's a pain in the ass, looking for something light, water resistant, that also won't make people look at me funny

i work in a kitchen. ive worked on boats. ive owned a pair of topsiders. here is the bottom of a pair of topsiders. they are not nonslip. if you want to argue that they are, then at the very least they are not nearly the same level of nonslip that professionals use in wet floor conditions

They were never advertised as the same as what kitchen workers and the like use.
