We’re proud to share that CNN has named the Riomar Navy Waterman Shoes among the best boat shoes of 2025. In their curated roundup of standout styles, Riomar was highlighted as the top choice for driver boat shoes for men—a true testament to our dedication to quality, comfort, and timeless design.
CNN praised the Navy Waterman for its preppy yet versatile style and practical construction, noting that the shoes are made from 100% waterproof Portuguese leather so you never have to worry about ruining them. The lining is both odor-proof and antimicrobial, making them ideal for long days on the water (or on land). Plus, they feature unique Americana-inspired detailing on the front, adding a touch of character to every step.
“These preppy driver shoes are at the top of celebrity fashion stylist Sarah Nearis’ list,” CNN shared in their feature.
As fashion experts point out, the boat shoe trend is making a strong comeback in 2025, blending Ivy League heritage with modern versatility. At Riomar, we’re proud to be leading that charge with footwear that’s both practical and elevated.
