HOW TO TIE YOUR
BOAT SHOES

Just because everyone wants to know... here are a few different ways to keep your boat shoes in place.

BARREL KNOT

Whether you call it the barrel lace, the heaving knot, or something else, one thing is clear: it's a classic boat shoe look that brings boatloads of compliments.

CHAIN KNOT

The chain lace is inspired by a sailing knot of the same name used to decorate or shorten a rope. Fun fact: to untie this knot, simply tug hard on each of the ends of the chain knots.

FISHTAIL KNOT

There are plenty of fish in the sea. The best way to make your A/O your own is by tying them using this unique technique.

TASSLE KNOT

The Tassel Knot puts a "twist" on the barrel knot and is another fun way to avoid retying your shoes every time that you put them on.
