The Columbia Men’s PFG Boatside Shoe in Navy / White is purpose-built for life on the water — a slip-on performance shoe from Columbia’s PFG (Performance Fishing Gear) sub-line, engineered for wet decks, quick transitions, and all-day comfort on and off the boat. Originally $72.00, now just $45.99 — 36% off retail. Browse our full selection of Clearance Sneakers.
The upper combines two purpose-driven materials: a smooth navy synthetic/neoprene-style panel at the toe cap and quarter delivers water resistance and durability, while a breathable open-weave knit mesh wraps the vamp and heel collar for ventilation during active use. Entry is completely lace-free — a stretch elastic gusset panel at the midfoot allows the shoe to flex open for easy on/off, and a black bungee cord heel loop provides a secure pull-on assist. Three red accent grommets on the lateral side and the blue “Columbia PFG” badge add a nautical heritage touch.
The PFG Performance Fishing Gear triangle badge is embossed on the rear heel counter — a detail that marks this shoe as part of Columbia’s performance outdoor line rather than a generic casual sneaker. The insole carries the Columbia PFG wordmark in red, and the outsole is stamped with the Columbia name at the heel. The white EVA midsole features visible air-cushion windows at the heel for lightweight cushioning, while the full-coverage white outsole uses a diamond/oval dot grid traction pattern with wave channel grooves designed for grip on wet boat decks and slick surfaces.
Brand new condition, size 12 US Men’s. One pair available at this clearance price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Columbia PFG Boatside run true to size?
Yes, the Boatside runs true to size for most wearers. The elastic gusset accommodates a range of foot widths comfortably. If you have a particularly wide foot, sizing up half a size may provide extra room.
Is this pair brand new?
Yes — this is a brand-new, never-worn pair in original retail condition, offered at clearance pricing to move remaining inventory.
What size is available?
One pair is available: size 12 US Men’s. Once sold, this item will not be restocked at this clearance price.
Is this shoe waterproof?
The PFG Boatside is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. The synthetic toe cap and quarter panels resist splashing and light water contact, while the open-weave mesh is designed to drain and dry quickly rather than keep water out completely. It is purpose-built for wet environments — boat decks, docks, shorelines — where quick-dry performance matters more than full waterproofing.
What is Columbia PFG?
Columbia PFG stands for Performance Fishing Gear — Columbia’s premium outdoor fishing sub-line. PFG products are engineered specifically for on-water and fishing environments with features like quick-dry materials, wet-surface traction, and sun/water protection not found in Columbia’s standard casual lineup.
Can these be worn for everyday casual use off the water?
Absolutely. The clean navy and white colorway, slip-on convenience, and cushioned EVA midsole make the Boatside equally suitable for casual errands, travel, and everyday wear. The PFG performance features are a bonus rather than a limitation for casual use.
How does the wet-deck outsole perform on non-boat surfaces?
The diamond/oval dot grid traction pattern grips well on wet concrete, tile, and other slick smooth surfaces — not just boat decks. It performs comparably to a standard casual shoe on dry pavement, making it a versatile everyday option beyond marine environments.
How durable is the open-weave mesh upper?
The open-weave knit mesh is designed for outdoor performance use and holds up well to moderate abrasion and repeated wet/dry cycles. The synthetic reinforcement panels at the toe and quarter protect the highest-wear zones, extending the upper’s lifespan considerably versus an all-mesh construction.
Is free shipping included?
Yes — all orders at Zneakers.com ship free within the continental United States.
