Color boat shoes, girly or not? ?

Q. My parents ordered me a pair as a surprise! Don't know what they were thinking. Anyways, I'm a guy, 6'1 and 230 lbs. I wear a lot of colored light and dark colored shirts with khakis. I wear boat shoes with very low sox or no socks. They said the kind they got me the thought are good for summer. Anyways, here's the link http://www.sperrytopsider.com/commonimages/sperry/490px/0799023_1_490x300.jpg
Let me know if you guys think these are girly or not. I'm in high school by the way. Thanks!
I meant light and dark colored coller shirts�sorry

A. When you said "color boat shoes", I thought you meant they were going to be 'English Racing Green', or 'Bubblegum Pink' or something!

That's a nice, neutral, sand color = neutral = great.

Sperry Topsiders are cute and I personally think they reveal quite a lot about the man (or woman) wearing them. They're classic. Comfortable. Not trendy. I think they sound perfect.

They have another neutral color that's a little darker (resembles Palomino leather interior on the BMW Z4 convertible <ha>) = a classic, sun-darkened tan leather) which I love. Sperrys can be returned if purchased at Nordstrom (or any large department store) and swapped out for another color, if the customer wants to. If they're purchased directly from Sperry, they'll do exchanges/returns and they'll cover the shipping. You just would have to phone them. Their customer service rep will send you a postage-paid label for returns.

I think they're really cute and there's nothing feminine about them. (Even though women wear them)..they're classic. Sperry Topsiders speak volumes..they really do. It's a sort of, effortless and easy way to indicate one is of a certain caliber = degree of excellence.

Places to get awesome unique clothes?
Q. Besides Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, Delias, Forever 21....? Vintagey stuff/ recycled clothing places are good too. Can be online stores also, thanks.
Also, where to get a really unique oversized bag, messenger bag, thing that I can use as a backpack.

P.S. I don't wear animal products, (leather, suede, fur...)

A. Here are a few unique online stores that I often frequent. They are around the price range of the stores you listed:

1. Ruche (this charming little vintage online store. they just started up, so there isn't such a wide selection, but some of the stuff they do have is nice):

2. LuLu's:

3. Chinese Laundry (one of my favorite places to go for unique footwear. it's a bit more expensive, but if you want to find a fabulous, statement shoe, this is definitely a place to check out):

4. Baghaus (fabulous, FABULOUS bags. you can find some really affordable ones and they have sales and markdowns often):

5. Cutesygirl (definitely a favorite shopping destination for trendy shoes on the cheap. their selection is mind blowing and the prices are hard to beat. they also have clothing, lingerie, bags and accessories making them a one-stop shop for all your fashion cravings):

6. Plasticland (to fulfill your inner retro-indie-rocker...it's not that cheap, but won't break the bank either. it's very unique and quirky):

7. YesStyle (i come here occasionally):

8. GoJane (...has EVERYTHING):

Hope this helped! We're in the same boat here...a couple of years ago I was bored of shopping in the same mall stores as everyone else, and spent my time looking for unique pieces. These are my top 8 online shops, and I hope you like them too :)
