As for the origin of sailing shoes, it actually came from a dog.

There are many theories about the origin of sailing shoes, the most famous being that it was designed in 1935 by American sailing enthusiast Paul Sperry. Paul, who loves sailing adventures, often struggles with slippery decks, so he starts thinking of solutions.

One day in 1935, Paul took his dog Prince on a trip, it was very cold in Connecticut, Paul saw that the dog could run on the ice and snow without slipping, in order to solve his problems and safety on the deck for a long time, he wondered if the dog’s feet were hiding any mystery to avoid slipping?

So Paul looked at the soles of his dog’s feet and found that they were covered with subtle herringbone lines, and he was inspired. He engraved a herringbone-like wavy pattern on the soles of his shoes to increase the frictional contact area between the outsole and the ground, giving it a good grip on the slippery deck, which is where sailing shoes come from.

The first pair of sailing shoes with excellent anti-slip effects was created in 1935, and the American Cruise Club shippers wrote to Paul to get sailors to wear sailing shoes as well. As a result, sailing shoes began to be widely used among sailors and sailors.

There were some shortcomings in the early stage of the design, because sailing shoes are extended from work shoes, most of them use black soles, and the lines are easy to leave traces after rubbing against the ground, especially on the white deck. In order to improve this problem, the sole of the sailing shoe was later changed to white, and the typical image of sailing shoes was more vivid at this time.
