While it may seem as if Crocs are only made to be a casual or leisure shoe you wear around the house, the truth is that the brand also serves to be an all-terrain footwear choice. The brand’s waterproof material makes it ideal for those traversing through muddy or wet conditions, without the added worry of ruining your shoes. This primary benefit of the shoe makes it a good option for unknown outdoor conditions. Although the Crocs shoe boasts comfort and practicality, its traditional clog look makes it slightly more challenging to style with most outfits. In their most recent launch, Crocs seems to remedy this by introducing a new boat shoe that fuses a timeless style with the practical waterproof material it’s become known for. 

Crocs brings its style to the timeless boat shoe

Taking on the form of the Classic Clog, Crocs’ new boat shoe features traditional outsoles and uppers, while incorporating details from other boat shoes. Infused with lightweight Croslite foam, slip-resistant soles, and breathable construction, the Crocs Classic Boat Shoe is a hybrid matchup of a Crocs clog and boat shoe. Elevating the design are neutral and retro colorways like Army Green/Walnut, Coffee/Cognac, and Koi Fish/Tan. Considered the reissue of a style available 20 years ago, this limited edition run is already flying off shelves. Those looking to get their hands on Crocs’ boat shoes can purchase a pair via Huckberry’s webstore for a retail price of $65. While this design is more casual than your typical boat shoe, there’s no doubt that the style is one of Crocs’ finest yet.

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
