Default Boat Show Shoes?

Glenn Ashmore wrote:
I need suggestions for the best boat show shoes. Regular deck shoes
look nautical and you can keep them on while inspecting many boats but
they leave a lot to be desired when you have to walk around in them for
10 or 12 hours. Loafers are not much better and you have to take them
off every time you board. Tennis shoes have to be unlaced every time
you board a boat that allows no shoes.

I am looking for a pair of white rubber soled shoes that have good
support and can still be slipped on and off without having to tie and
untie them while balancing half a ton of sales literature.


The only shoes I've ever been able to survive standing on my feet at a
boat show in are New Balance shoes...and if my feet, legs and lower back
don't hurt after standing in 'em on a cement floor for 4-5 days, they
should get you through one or two. I don't know if they make a slip on,
though...mine are the lace up boat shoes they make for Sperry. But who
says they have to be boat shoes--or even white shoes--as long as they're
comfortable and have a light colored sole?
