This is the epitome of classic Maine style. The Read boat shoe is the perfect summer shoe. Not only do they look great with a pair of chinos or shorts, but they perform just as a boat shoe should. The Natural pull-up leather is highly water resistant and incredibly durable, and we've kept it unlined so you can wear them without socks. The non-marking rubber boat soles have siping which makes them stick like glue to slippery surfaces. A pair of chestnut leather laces wraps around the heel to provide an extra snug fit. Each pair is handcrafted in Lewiston, Maine USA using our Genuine Handsewn Moccasin construction.
Brilliant shoes. Replacing the pair which I've had for years and which have done sterling service. Buying good shoes is an investment and works out cheaper in the long run. Fashions change but style is timeless!
Best boat shoes I've ever had
Excellent boat shoes. The quality of materials, workmanship, and fit are what make Rancourt & Co. the best!
I think the Read Boat Shoe has to be the best leather boat shoe on the market today. The leather and construction quality are superb. They are a substantial upgrade from their well known, offshore produced competitors.
I just purchased my 3rd pair and received them today. They’re size 9.5D and the fit is perfect without socks. Shopping in Rancourt & Co.’s website is easy and shipping is fast. Their customer service is excellent!
Thank you!
Well built, with top notch quality!! Just love them, they feel great and fit perfect.
