The Item: Boat Shoes

Following in the footsteps of other prepster staples, Top-Siders are now experiencing a bit of a renaissance. No longer just for dads and yuppies of the 90s, these "boat shoes" are again making a splash in the fashion world, with reincarnations from Puma to Rockport and even high-end Tod's. My favorite, however, remains to be the Sperry Top-siders. I just bought a cream colored pair recently and the nostalgia (not to mention the praise) hasn't stopped since.
