High-End boat shoes

I guess a "regulation" boat shoe has moccasin construction and rubber soles. The Weston version, which is a sort of caricature of a boat shoe, turns out to be a very useful article in my wardrobe. There is a level of casual beneath business casual, call it "weekend casual, with which the Weston goes perfectly.

Beretta manufactures a similar shoe (here http://www.beretta.com/index.aspx?m=53&did=112). I have not seen this and undoubtedly it would not be as elegant as the Weston version.

Does anyone have similarly elegant shoes to recommend for leisure wear?

I haven't tried them yet but Russell Moccasin looks promising, despite the clunky website. They promise reasonably priced custom fit deck shoes, although I understand they struggle to keep up with customer demand.

Has anyone experience of Russell Moccasin?

I was out shopping today and picked up a very nice pair of boat shoes - Allen Edmonds 'Eastport'. British Tan, also available in brown and navy. Very nice construction.
