If you’re wondering if you can wear socks with Sperrys without violating unwritten fashion rules, the answer is yes, however, you can’t wear just any pair of socks with deck shoes. If you are wearing shorts or are going for the bare ankle “sockless” look, you’ll want to opt for no-show socks for Sperrys.
This specific style of sock is low cut to stay hidden while still providing all the benefits of wearing socks. Later in this article we'll go into specific detail on why wearing socks with boat shoes is a good idea. But what makes the best no show socks for Sperrys?
No-show socks are notorious for slipping off the heel, and odds are that you have personally experienced this frustration. The best men's Sperry socks are designed to to fit snuggly and stay up all day without sliding off your heel.
At Boardroom Socks we manufacture our Sperry liner socks with soft, stretchy materials that comfortably hug your foot. Each pair is also finished with a silicone gripper on the inside of the heel, further ensuring that they stay up throughout the day.
As the name implies, the best Sperry socks for men should "not show." Many manufacturers struggle to strike the balance between staying up and staying hidden; you'll find just as many styles that sit too high on the foot as you will styles that quickly slip off your heel.
The trick to producing a quality no-show sock for Sperrys is to make the sock high enough to stay on your foot but low enough to remain hidden while wearing deck shoes.
While socks are certainly an element of fashion, they also play an enormous role in your comfort; the best no show socks for Sperrys are no exception. In addition to keep your feet dry and comfortable, they also help prevent blisters and hotspots.
At Boardroom Socks, our Sperry socks for men are crafted with an exceptionally soft and lightweight merino wool. This material is breathable and expertly manages moisture, ensuring your feet and the leather of your boat shoes both stay dry. Eliminating the accumulation of sweat will prevent odor- and fungus-causing bacteria from developing within your shoes.
Wearing no show socks for Sperrys will prolong the life of your shoes. The added layer of fabric will help manage moisture within your Sperrys and, given that your feet have more sweat glands than any other part of your body, moisture can certainly be an issue.
The best no-show socks for Sperrys will be constructed with a lightweight, breathable material to help keep both your feet and your shoes dry. If you instead opt to go sockless, sweat will permeate your shoes and cause premature wear to the leather. This unmitigated moisture also allows for the growth of bacteria, leading to odor and potential health hazards.
Not wearing socks with boat shoes can be unhealthy. As alluded to above, moisture is an issue with deck shoes. Not only are these shoes typically worn during the hottest months of the year, but men are often tempted to wear them without socks. This warm, dark, damp and enclosed environment of your boat shoes will become a breeding ground for bacteria. Not only does this bacteria cause your shoes to develop the “Sperry stink” but it can also lead to athlete’s foot and other fungal infections.
Be sure to wear no-show socks for Sperrys to keep your feet healthy.
No-show socks for Sperrys will keep you comfortable. One of the reasons why boat shoes are so popular is because, over time, the leather molds to your feet and develops the perfect fit. However, this break in process takes time and can be very uncomfortable.
Wearing men’s Sperry socks will add a layer of protection to your feet, mitigating blisters and hotspots.
