Dexter’s Nautical Collection

Ahoy! Welcome to Dexter’s Nautical Collection! A collection that proudly blends sound tradition with inspired innovation.

Whether you’re rigging the sails of your three-masted schooner or tying your canoe to a lakeside tree, a working knowledge of knots is crucial to successful boating. We’ve chosen the knot as the symbol of our Nautical Collection for two reasons.

First, we are bound steadfast to our rich heritage, which has been skippered by our classically styled boat shoes since our humble beginnings in 1957. At the same time, we are dedicated to the growth of our boat shoe line, through innovative style development and technological advances. The knot symbolizes our commitment to keeping these two important concepts securely connected to each other.

Second, all of the shoes in the Nautical Collection are knotted together by their individual relevance to boating or boating-related activities. In many cases, it’s classic deck shoe styling. In some, it’s a slip-resistant sole or a wonderfully nautical color. In every case, however, these shoes lend themselves to far more than boating. Each wearer will discover a myriad of activities and events for which these nautically inspired shoes are appropriate.

So, come aboard and enjoy a voyage through page after page awash with a sense of rich tradition buoyed by a commitment to innovation.
