The boat shoes are so much more than that. These are yachts. The soles of these shoes are made to be squishy, like the body. Baudoin & Lange designed an unapologetically avante-garde deck loafer here, and boating footwear may never be the same.
These are great for people with wide feet because they don’t have a lining. You won’t find any half or wide sizes since the lack of lining lets the leather stretch to fit you like a foot-corset (if corsets didn’t suck the life out of you).
So, if it’s too tight, give it a few days before sending us hate mail. According to Baudoin & Lange, that’s just part of the design.

It’s no secret that Birkenstock makes some of the best sandals you’ll find for wide feet. What you might not know is that they’ve moved away from the leather-only game. If you’re a cruelty-free consumer, that’s pretty exciting news.
Being that it’s one piece of EVA, the Barbados is like a cross between the iconic classic Birkenstock sandal and a pair of rubbery Crocs. The EVA material molds even more quickly to wide feet than cork, which is used in other models.
The thick, white Barbados pattern is loud, bold and unapologetically attractive. It will be a great way to show off this summer. The shoes are also naturally wide so even chunky feet can feel comfortable.

They’re on the expensive side, but they’re totally worth the investment. They will start out tight but given a bit of time, and they’ll be the most form-fitting pair of toe huggers you’ve ever owned (in the best way possible).
