Sperry Topsiders
Classics for a reason, these topsiders were born because the brand’s founder wanted a shoe that would keep him from slipping on the deck of a boat while at sea. Eighty-seven years later, the shoes, with their rubber sole and specially tanned leather—which doesn’t corrode in saltwater—are still popular with boaters, earning the name “boat shoe” for a reason. Stop by the Sperry store on St. Armands Circle for a great selection. $94.95, sperry.com

Pro tip: head here after you stop by the Sperry store on St. Armands Circle! $110, tommybahama.com
