How many pairs of shoes does one man really need? If your closet/floor/office looks anything like ours, there’s no end in sight. Since we’ve established that, what’s one more pair going to matter? There are only so many days in the week though, so you should choose carefully. Like this pair of Zapata del Barcos (Vans take on the boat shoe) from Vans and Deluxe. And deluxe is fitting because everything about these shoes is an upgrade. Waxed leather upper, leather lining and textured fabric sock lining means you get comfort, style and natural water resistance. Isn’t it time to trade in your Topsiders if you’re going to be down by the river?
