Sperry boat shoes are the quintessential example of the style, but that doesn’t mean the brand is resting on its laurels. They’re pumping out premium editions and using non-traditional materials left and right. Case in point: the extra-rugged boat shoes that are on sale with a $124 discount.

Sperry Gold Cup Vibram Boat Shoes are just $71 right now, 63% off of the $195 they’ll normally run you. As you might have guessed from the name, they’re made with elevated materials including a Vibram sole, a quirky choice that works quite well. They’re available in three colorways, but only two are getting this great discount; the other, which is actually called Other Beige, is $90. These final prices are the combination of existing markdowns and an additional 25% off that’s automatically reflected when you add these shoes to your cart.

If you own a pair of hiking boots or shoes, chances are pretty good that there’s a Vibram sole on the bottom. The Italian company patented the first rubber lug sole in the ‘50s, a vast improvement on the outdoor footwear that came before. The off-white wedge sole used in these boat shoes has its signature zig-zag pattern, yellow octagonal logo, and proven traction of a Vibram.

As part of Sperry’s premium Gold Cup line, this single-eye shoe uses upgraded materials like full grain leather, copper hardware, and lambskin linings. Beyond its functionality, the half-inch sole adds what the brand calls a “streetwise edge” to the typical New England nautical vibe of a pair of Top-Siders.

The extra 25% off is a limited-time offer that ends on July 7, but certain size-color combinations are already out of stock. That means the best time to buy your own pair of Sperry Gold Cup Vibram Boat Shoes is as soon as you can.
