Re: Boatshoes as House Slippers?
It appears we have a couple of things in common Mr Roest. Even the people I know who do actually boat/yaught don't wear em.
Americans do seem to be very fond of wearing shoes indoors though.

Re: Boatshoes as House Slippers?
I like the initial idea.
Ordinarily I wouldn't give a monkeys whether the soles were white or not.
But in keeping with the idea of wearing them as slippers first, i think it's important.
White soles would give me a good indication of the cleanliness of our dark wooden floors.
Robbo what a fucking wanker you are.

all the Yankees I know wear Bean slippers indoors. They're like boat shoes... but they're slippers.

I wear a pair of Vans slip ons as slippers. Good for running out and catching the ice cream man...

Re: Boatshoes as House Slippers?
I wear my Dexter boat shoes indoors to break them in before taking them on deck. Always have. Brand new boat shoes on board make you look like a novice. I never wear boat shoes anywhere else tho'

Re: Boatshoes as House Slippers?
It's interesting... The beloved boatshoe is seen as a 'Preppy' totem by some & therefore fit to be hated.
Personally, I don't acknowledge the existance of 'Preppy' (It was all made-up crap) and so I'm OK in mine.
'Trad' (It was all made-up crap) won't stop me wearing Tweed either...
But then I come from an older & a wiser world... A world where one could cuff one's servants about the head & use the ice bucket as a late night piss pot.
For I am a real Gentleman.
