What is a thick-soled boat shoe?

Boat shoes bring holidays to mind: sailing boat decks, strolls around the harbour and summer evenings that stretch on. We wanted to keep everything we love about them: the stitched apron, visible seams and laces that wrap around the foot. Then we gave them a thick, treaded sole so they can go wherever you go in the city, all year round.

Our designs are unisex: they’re easy to share with friends or a partner.

A treaded sole that changes everything

On a classic boat shoe, the sole is thin and flat. Ours has a little more height, with pronounced treads. On wet cobblestones or slippery pavements, you can keep your footing. And after a long day of walking, you’ll feel the difference.

That slightly chunky look also breathes new life into a style we thought we knew inside out.

Boat shoes that are comfortable from day one

We all know what it’s like to have a new pair of shoes that hurts for two weeks. With our boat shoes, you can forget that: our materials are supple from the first time you put them on. Each design is tested by the CTCP, Portugal’s footwear technology centre, then our team wears the prototypes for several months before launch. We adjust every detail until we never want to take them off.

Plant-based materials and Portuguese craftsmanship

Our thick-soled boat shoes are 100% vegan: no animal-derived materials in the upper, lining or glue. We design them in Bordeaux, then they come to life in the hands of craftspeople at a family-run workshop in Portugal. Plant-based and recycled materials, carefully crafted: that’s how we make shoes you can keep for years.

How to wear thick-soled boat shoes

Wear them with straight-leg jeans that fall just over the shoes, and they’ll soon become the pair you reach for every morning. In summer, pair them with shorts or linen trousers, with or without visible socks. And for dinner or a date, try them with tailored trousers: the treaded sole adds just the right touch of contrast.
