Boating stores have great sales on boat shoes and other sporting shoes! My husband is addicted to Topsider sailing moccasins gotten on sale. They are sporty and sturdy, he gets them at 1/2 off and they last and last. He also just got a nice pair of leather sneakers for me for $9! So check out boating stores (and sporting goods stores like Big 5) for their sales and great deals on well-made casual shoes.
