They’re pricey at $374.95 more than doubles from their Gold Cup brothers but when you put them on and look down, you’ll know where that money went. You can feel the quality in construction in each fold and seam as you run your fingers around the contours of both the interior and exterior. Our only complaint is, “Gold Cup Handcrafted in Maine Authentic Original Boat Shoe” the name just doesn’t feel long enough.

The Handcrafted in Maine Gold Cup Authentic Original Boat Shoes should not be confused with the Gold Cup Authentic Original Boat Shoes priced at $159.95

Firm 3x thicker full-length footbed

Construction & Materials

It’s important to build from the ground up and Sperry uses a heavier more durable Vibram sole for better grip and cushion. The premium leather upper is attached to a full-length footbed that is firm yet flexible and 3x as dense for an excellent foundation. Underfoot the cushioned Ortholite footbed with Latex outsole provide maximum comfort with each step.

On the interior soft genuine deerskin linings comfort your feet and feature a dotted pattern throughout the sidewalls, arch and toe box area so they breathe quite well.

Stitching is clean and precise

On the exterior the Horween and Tasman US premium leathers offer beauty and long-lasting durability. The 360 degree lacing system uses genuine rawhide laces and rust-proof eyelets so they’ll always look good and remain functional to fine tune your fit if necessary.

Stitching

Go ahead and look closely, you’ll find that the stitching is solid and very well done, clean and precise. The holes are hand punched and hand-sewn to perfection; details you can surely only find in a handcrafted product.

Fit & Feel

The GC handcrafted Boat Shoe runs pretty true to size and wears very well. The elegant and refined construction is prominently noticeable and boy do they shine. The traditional brown and trendy Navy blue work equally well with white linen pants, jeans or chinos folded with a cuff at the bottom, you get the idea.

They’re also very comfortable for extended wear; good for an all-day stroll… They’re a little expensive for daily drivers but that won’t stop you from wanting to wear them everyday. Luckily these are shoes worth resoling again. They are very comfortable even for our EEE wide feet. The leather materials and heavier Vibram sole make them a little weighty which makes them feel like they are well made.
