Summers on the way, and here in Vancouver that means boating and beach season. Do you love boat shoes but are afraid of the yuppie, khaki, Tommy Bahamas, straw hat, Fortune 500 wannabe association? If so, check this hipper version of the classic shoe by Cr8tive Recreation.

They are perfect for the summer, and for the more adventurous, all year round. The red, white and blue color-ways are definitely more stylish than your dad’s one tone leathers, signifying good taste and confidence without appearing like a loose cannon to your investment banker buddies.

Remember to have your dads boat back by 6pm skipper!
