i picked up these nice handmade wool boat shoes by band of outsiders (for sperry top-sider) last week for $60, knocked down from $240 via the gilt group an invitation-only online shop that sells some pretty great stuff for up to 70% off, the catch is each sale lasts only online for 36 hours.
the wool is comfy and will certainly shape itself to my foot pretty quickly, but are probably not the most practical for wearing anywhere near an actual boat unless you like the smell of wet dogs. click here if you want an invite to gilt
I’ve been dying for a pair of those deck shoes and couldn’t work out how I’d be able to afford them. Although I doubt they’ll repeat the same offer. Thanks all the same.
