Spring is officially upon us, making now a great time to refresh certain parts of your wardrobe.

When thinking about which pieces in your closet need the most attention, shoes probably come to mind.

One shoe that all guys should invest in this season is a good pair of boat shoes.

They’re a smart piece of fashion that are appropriate whether you need a new set of business-casual shoes for work, or want a pair you can quickly slip on before a night out.

To help you find the perfect pair, we’ve collected our favorites for spring. In a range of styles and prices, find the pair that’s right for you and consider adding it to your closet. Chances are you'll be wearing them regularly until next winter.

I’ve gotten to review a lot of footwear during my time at Insider Picks, but I don’t think I’ve worn any pair more than my Jack Erwin boat shoes. I love the color (I went with Slate), they fit perfectly on my foot, and they're still holding up well after a year of regular use.

If you’re looking for a personal recommendation, these get my pick.

Allen Edmonds makes some of our favorite dress shoes, so it’s no surprise that the brand’s boat shoes impress us, too.

I find the bold color of this pair attractive, but there are more subtle options if you’re not looking to make a bold statement with your footwear.

Sebago offers another simple option for those looking for a durable boat shoe to get them through the season.

Available in more colors than any other shoe on this list, you should consider all the different styles before making your final order.
