From the Archives: Winter A/O’s by Sperry Top-Sider

On November 20, 2014, in Footwear, by Ryan & Ben

No matter how cold it gets, it just doesn’t feel right for us not to have a pair of boatshoes at the ready.  Luckily, Sperry Top-Sider has us covered for this time of year with their Winter A/O’s.  The feature below originally ran on November 26, 2011.

Seersucker Board Shorts by Sperry Top-Sider

On July 30, 2014, in Shorts, Swim, by Ryan & Ben

Every year we say we’re completely done with board shorts, and every year we stumble across a pair or two that we actually really like.  That was definitely the case when we were checking out some of Sperry Top-Sider’s latest offerings.  Their Seersucker Board Shorts are certainly a pair that we’d sport proudly.

“Flag Day” A/O’s by Sperry Top-Sider

On June 18, 2014, in Footwear, by Ryan & Ben

World Cup fever has officially taken over at Bows & Boats.  Two weeks ago we figured our World Cup themed coverage would start and end with our 1994 USA Soccer Shorts post, but we’ve been completely sucked into the action.  Yesterday we even found ourselves interested in the Brazil vs. Mexico match (so much for […]

Chambray Striper CVOs by Sperry Top-Sider

On April 1, 2014, in Footwear, by Ryan & Ben

Introduced in the 1930’s, it’s hard for us to believe that Sperry Top-Sider‘s CVO sneakers were seeing time on the decks of sailboats prior to our trusty A/O’s, but that’s the case.  While these classics are yet to make their way into our footwear rotation, a just released version of them is about to change […]

Suede A/O’s by Sperry Top-Sider for Barneys New York

On March 3, 2014, in Footwear, by Ryan & Ben

Once again, we find ourselves staring outside at a sea of bright white snow that Mother Nature decided to deposit here in Maryland.  While a little bit of snow from time to time is fine, we’re 100% over it this year.  It’s only a matter of time until we get to break out our boatshoes, […]

Gold Cup Bellingham Chukka by Sperry Top-Sider

On October 8, 2013, in Footwear, by Ryan & Ben

In the matter of a couple of hours, Fall arrived here in Annapolis yesterday. We went from sunny skies and temperatures in the mid 80’s to grey skies and low 60’s before we knew what was happening.  With no choice but to finally embrace the chill, we’re going full bore with breaking out the Fall […]

On July 22, 2013, in Contests, Footwear, by Ryan & Ben

Just when we thought our selection of colored boatshoes was set for the Summer, a new collection has come out that has us rethinking everything.  Thanks to the just released Color Pack from Sperry Top-Sider, not only will we be adding a new pair or two to the rotation, we’re also going to be doing […]

Red, White, and Blue Burnished A/O’s by Sperry Top-Sider

On June 26, 2013, in Footwear, by Ryan & Ben

Even though we’ve made quite the effort to work some boatshoe alternatives into our rotation this Summer, we’re going with what we know for the 4th of July.  Of course, traditional brown or tan aren’t going to cut it on Independence Day, so we’re going to go with something a bit brighter.  Our pick this […]

Gold Cup A/O Boatshoes by Sperry Top-Sider

On June 11, 2013, in Footwear, by Ryan & Ben

Though we are always trying work new brands into our boatshoe rotation, it seems that no matter how hard we try we always end up going back to our tried and true Sperry Top-Sider A/O’s.  At last count we had five pairs in regular rotation, and there is about to be a sixth.  We just […]

Made In Maine A/O Penny Loafer by Sperry Top-Sider

On May 14, 2013, in Footwear, by Ryan & Ben

Though we are still far from giving up our boatshoes, we’re continuing our efforts to expand our footwear collection this Spring and Summer, and luckily for us there are some really fantastic options out there this year.  One shoe that recently caught our attention comes from one of our favorite boatshoe makers.  It’s the Made […]
