Improve upon the Billfish No way.How about 28% lighter Way.It's a given that Sperry's Billfish Boat Shoes are already established as classics in the boat shoe world. That's why it's all the more impressive that they've figured out a way to improve them and still retain all the best features. The Billfish Ultralite 3-Eye Boat Shoes aren't just lighter (although 28% lighter than the originals is rather remarkable considering how durable and comfortable they are), some say they're even better looking. Slip on a pair before your next all-day waterlife adventure and we think you'll be sold on this design as well. Are we that sure We'll just start at the top and work our way down to the very heart and sole of these versatile shoes:The Uppers: Premium nubuck and full-grain leather that's stain- and water-resistant is combined with nylon air-mesh panels so they not only look great on, they're also durable, long-lasting and supportive. In addition to adding an element of style, the mesh panels serve to keep your feet cooler than all-leather uppers since they breathe and let water drain out when the unavoidable splash or dunk occurs (like that ever happens when you're on a boat) and then dry quickly.Genuine Handsewn Tru-Moc Construction: Why is this important In a word, comfort.

The result is a pair of shoes that are so comfortable you'll want to wear them even when you're just wishing you're on a boat.The Lacing: A feature Sperry shoes are known for—their 360 Lacing System with rust proof eyelets. Unlike lesser boat shoes, Sperry provides for a secure fit all the way around your feet, not just across your insteps. Why does that matter Remember the unavoidable splash or dunk we mentioned earlier Once your shoes get wet (and they will get wet unless your boating only involves cruise ships or mega yachts), they will have a tendency to separate themselves from you if they aren't snugged down tight around the outside of your feet. The lacing also improves overall stability since it will keep your shoes from slipping around on your
