Which of these shoes is likely to be more versatile?
I was looking to pick up the timberland 3-eye lug boat shoes but they were too narrow. These sperrys have a similar profile and fit a bit better.
They are available in the traditional look with a contrasting sole or a more uniform suede version.
I'd usually pick the former, but since I already have original sperrys in nearly that color, it does seem kind of redundant. But given that these are largely going to replace those, which are pretty beat, maybe it's not.
Intended use is not super specific, which is why I'm asking about versatility, mostly worn with light or dark wide chinos, light wash jeans, light linen shorts, etc.
Third photo for reference is with both similar color original sperrys I already have to give an idea of skin contrast. I think maybe the dark ones look a bit stark with lighter colored shorts, but it's not really an issue I think about often.
