Good pair of boating shoes doesn't often make the fashion cut at your favorite restaurant, but a good set of stylish shoes aren't made for the rigors of boating life either - until now.

A good pair of boating shoes doesn't often make the fashion cut at your favorite restaurant, but a good set of stylish shoes aren't made for the rigors of boating life either - until now. Irish Setter combines your two lifestyles with its new line of Navigator shoes. A walk on the docks reveals that non-marking carbon rubber soles won't leave skids on your boat, and even while wearing the shoes at home the tiled floor stays clean. With multiple side and sole drains, teamed with air flow ports with screen filters for quick draining, you can dip your feet in water and not worry about sloshing the seas around your toes for the next few hours. A ScentBan odor inhibitor tones down the stinky feet, while the Memory Foam puts to shame your comfy slippers at home. For the social scene, quality leather and a stylish design mean you won't have to switch attire for onshore festivities. Prices start at $89.99.
