One of the problems with many boat shoes is that all sorts of nasty
things can stick to them and get tracked back into the boat.

I know of people who insist that all shoes be removed before anybody
comes aboard.
If I were that uptight about it, I think I'd wear separate shoes on the
boat and keep another pair for the outside world.


And those who walk around barefoot when at the beach should bring a separate
clean pair of feet with them for use when on the boat.
