10 Fabulous Boat Shoes ...

I adore shoes – all kinds of shoes – and lately I've been going through a phase where I'm in love with preppy shoes. I don't know why, exactly, except they seem ideal for spring and early summer, they look good with jeans, shorts, or skirts, and besides that, the whole sailor/naval trend is really in right now. That being said, there are some fabulous boat shoes out there at the moment, and I think they epitomize that style beautifully!

I'd wager that all of y'all know about me and my love for plaid by now. That's why I think these are such fabulous boat shoes. That madras plaid is excellent, and I love how bright the colors are. Plus, the shoes themselves are hand-sewn, and I always love that kind of touch – you know your shoes are going to last nearly forever!

Rockport Bonnie Boat Shoes

Now, on the surface, these might look a little boring, but see, they're available in different color combinations. Plus, I love something that looks this casual. You may not be able to wear them that often, unless that's your personal style. When you do, though, you'll really be making a splash. These remind me of the loafers I used to wear in elementary school.

Merrell Marina Boat Shoes

Merrell Marina Boat Shoes Price: $90.00 at zappos.com
I think these shoes are cute out the box. They look like they'd be so comfortable! I have a pair kind of like this (although granted, I got them from Payless – BOGO, baby!), and they are awesome. You get a combination of sneakers and casual dress shoes, and let me tell you, they're ideal if you're going to be walking around a lot – especially if it's hot.

Timberland Bell Island Boat Ballerina Slippers

Timberland Bell Island Boat Ballerina Slippers Price: $80.00 at zappos.com
Here's a pair of really versatile and fabulous boat shoes. I love that they give a new twist to the ballerina trend. Typically ballerina slippers are formless and don't offer all that much support. You can see from this silhouette, though, that the shoes are sturdy and supportive in addition to being cute and fashionable.

N.D.C. Alithia Nubuck Boat Shoes

N.D.C. Alithia Nubuck Boat Shoes Price: $280.00 at net-a-porter.com
The reason I like this is because they do look so preppy. I mean, wearing these, you'd look like you were about to head out to your yacht … whether you have one or not. However, that bright red gives you the kind of splash that you're not typically going to see with this trend, which is always fun.

Cole Haan Air Tali Boat Shoes

Cole Haan Air Tali Boat Shoes Price: $126.00 at zappos.com
This is another great pair of boat shoes that kind of mimics the ballerina style. These are just so festive, with their red, white, and blue palette. They take “nautical” to the next level, and they'd look great with a cute, flippy little skirt.

The Cool People Anchor-Z Boat Shoes

The Cool People Anchor-Z Boat Shoes Price: $51.00 at zappos.com
Oh, you know I love these. Look at that bright, delicious pink! I could eat these shoes for dessert! I don't actually know what I'd want to, but … well, you know what I mean. If I was ever going to try the nautical prep look like this on the real, I know I'd do it with a pair of shoes like these. Remember, even when you want to try a new trend, you can still express your individuality!

BC Footwear “Milkshake” Boat Shoes

BC Footwear “Milkshake” Boat Shoes Price: $69.95 at shop.nordstrom.com
I love BC, and this is one of the reasons why. These fabulous boat shoes are one of the only pairs I've seen with wedges. The styling is still extremely nautical (and I adore that chaining detail), but the lift gives off some originality, as well as some serious height. This one's a winner in my book, and not just because I'm fun-sized.

Sebago Docksides Boat Shoes

Sebago Docksides Boat Shoes Price: $85.00 at zappos.com
I'll be honest, I just think these look cool. I think they take the boat shoe trend, and give it a sleek, hip little twist. It might just be the narrow slant of the toe, I don't really know. What I do know is that I love the silhouette, the shape, the shine, and all the details.

Vans Zapato Del Barco Boat Shoes

Vans Zapato Del Barco Boat Shoes Price: $54.95 at zappos.com
I love these shoes for the same reason. Vans is always good for a hip touch, and they give it beautifully here. I love the fact that the sole is higher as well. Again, that can give some of us some much needed height!

Now, are these some fabulous boat shoes or what? All the same, I know that not everyone loves this style. How do you feel about the whole boat shoes phenomenon?
