Dekkareissa

Dekkareissa is a term used in Finnish slang that refers to wearing deck shoes or boat shoes. These are casual, low-cut shoes typically made of canvas or leather, known for their non-slip soles and comfortable design, originally intended for use on boats. The term "dekkareissa" is the inessive case of "dekkari," meaning "in deck shoes." It's commonly used to describe someone dressed in this particular style of footwear, often associated with a relaxed, summery, or nautical aesthetic. The shoes themselves are popular in many casual settings and are not exclusively worn for their original maritime purpose. The adoption of "dekkari" into Finnish slang reflects the general popularity of deck shoes as a fashion item.
