Boat shoes celebrate their comeback

This is how versatile the 2025 trend is

Boat shoes are back and are more stylish and versatile than ever. The once maritime classics are celebrating a fashionable comeback in autumn/winter 2025, skilfully combining tradition and zeitgeist. What was once reserved for the sailing look has now become an integral part of style-conscious outfits.

We at Kennel & Schmenger have also reinterpreted the boat shoe - modern, comfortable and with the high quality standards that characterise our signature style. Whether unlined for the transition or cosy and warm for the winter: Our current models combine iconic design elements with high-quality materials and ensure a stylish appearance at any time of year.

PIT - The modern classic with crepe sole

The model PIT presents itself as a statement piece with understatement. Made from soft suede in a rich dark brown, the design remains true to the classic boat shoe, but adds modern accents with its striking crepe sole. The characteristic fringe appliqué and leather strap lacing bring the authentic look into the present with a touch of retro.

Styling tip: The PIT complements casual looks with wide-leg trousers, knitwear and muted natural colours. An ideal companion for urban outfits with character.

DROP - boat shoe elegance in cognac

With the model DROP the boat shoe shows its most elegant side. Cognac-coloured suede, fine fringing and a subtle bow give the moccasin a feminine touch. The flexible outsole guarantees comfort for everyday wear, while the all-round lacing adds a stylish twist to the traditional shape.

Styling idea: The DROP looks particularly good with chinos, light woollen fabrics or linen - a versatile shoe for modern business-casual looks or relaxed everyday moments with style.

POP - Lined moccasin for the cooler season

The model POP in soft beige shows just how cosy a boat shoe can be. Made from soft suede and lined with lambskin, this shoe combines warmth, comfort and design. The classic moccasin silhouette with fringes and a bow is retained - complemented by a flexible rubber sole that offers a secure grip.

Particularly suitable for: cool autumn days and winter. The POP in beige perfectly complements knitted dresses, skinny jeans or jogger trousers in a clean-chic style.

POP - warmth meets style

For all those who don't want to do without stylish details even in the cold season, the POP in cognac the ideal choice. The warm colour tone harmonises perfectly with seasonal autumn and winter colours, while the cosy lambskin lining guarantees maximum comfort. Moccasin stitching, fringing and lacing make this model an unmistakable highlight.

Fashion note: The POP in cognac goes perfectly with checked patterns, camel coats or muted all-over looks. A must-have for style-conscious winter outfits.
