Frequently Asked Questions

The Extra-fit Regatta is the same shoe as Dubarry's Regatta Boat shoe, however the Extra-fit has additional measurement for improved foot entry and allows room for wider feet.

Yes. Dubarry makes a wide fitting boat shoe. The Regatta Extra-fit is a wider fitting moccasin. The Extra-fit style is the same shoe as the standard Regatta but has additional measurement for improved foot entry and allows room for wider feet. It will generally accomodate up to a 2E width

Yes, deck shoes are the same as boat shoes. The name deck shoe is synonymous with boat shoe, that is, non-slip, non-marking leather or canvas shoes with a flat sole in a moccasin or loafer style. If you are a keen sailor but fancy something different, Dubarry makes a range of sailing sneakers based on the same boat-safe principles.

Boat shoes are traditionally and usually worn without socks, but they lend themselves just as well to wearing socks, which gives you two separate looks to suit your activities. Wearing socks will help absorb moisture if you are planning on casual or physical activity in hot weather when you may sweat. If you prefer the no sock look then there are plenty of ‘no show’ socks on the market that will sit below the shoe line.

Boatshoes are designed for secure, dry footing when sailing. Dubarry boat shoes have shock absorbing soles and superior traction, plus water resistant and dry fast leather which keeps feet as dry as possible on deck. This reduces the risk of injury from slipping and fungal and water related foot infection.  

Boat shoes are easily slipped on and off, and as such a looser fit gives quick access to your shoes. The lacing system also allows for socks or bare feet depending on your style and the temperature. Instead of traditional shoe lacing you may like to try barrel knot lacing your boat shoes. Laces knotted close to the shoe will secure the fit more tightly. For a looser fit leave a slighter longer length of lace before the knot.

Boat shoes look great with a whole variety of clothing and are a perfect option to all but the most formal occasions. Dubarry boat shoes and chinos are a classic combination and can be worn throughout the year. A linen shirt or polo completes a summer look, while a Dubarry tattersall shirt or warm sweater is a good winter combination.

Since 1937, Dubarry has made boat shoes for life on the water, and ours are still built to that standard. Every pair starts with soft, water-resistant leather or nubuck, hand-stitched around a patented NonSlip-NonMarking™ sole that grips wet decks without leaving a trace.

Choose a classic laced style with rawhide lacing you can tighten through the day, or a slip-on moccasin for easy wear from the dock to dinner. Also known as deck shoes, they pair naturally with chinos, denim and summer shorts.

For wider feet, the Regatta is available in ExtraFit™ with additional room through the forefoot. Explore our laced boat shoes and slip-on moccasins, or step up to waterproof GORE-TEX® lined boat shoes for wetter conditions.
