Stylish and comfortable
PostedOctober 24, 2012
These shoes are really very smart looking and extremely comfortable right out of the box. They will stretch out some with wear. I started wearing them in college and I immediately loved them. I wear them barefoot (without socks) all the time and they could not be more comfortable. They are sharp looking and go pretty well with everything. I wear them for casual occassions, work and even church. Really an excellent and very durable shoe. When my current ones wear out I will certainly buy another pair.

Excellent/Comfy Shoe
PostedDecember 23, 2011
I just recently got these and they are amazing. So durable, I wear them in the grass, in the mud, on sidewalks and everywhere in between. They are so comfortable and you just can't get any classier!

Great style
PostedMay 13, 2013
This is my first pair of Top-Siders, and I have to say that I am glad I finally sprung for a pair. They are just as comfortable with socks (for those with dress codes) as they are without socks (as they are intended to be worn.) I have also received a few complements on my new style.
My only complaint is a slight quality issue in that the tongue on the left shoe is about 1/4" shorter than the right, which isn't very noticeable when wearing but I could feel the difference for the first couple of days. It's a hassle to get things shipped to wear I live so I opted not to return them and try for a different pair.

New Pair every year
PostedMay 10, 2013
I buy a new pair of the basic sperry's every spring and they last me through and through every time. I still wear my pair from two years ago when I might encounter dirty grounds.

NO longer true to size
PostedMay 9, 2013
I have had several pairs of these over the years and have always liked them I need a wide and the most recent pair I ordered a 10.5 wide They do not fit as well as my prior pairs I kept them and have been using a shoe strecher to make them a bit wider. I tired on an 11 in a store and they were too narrow I often have to buy a half size larger to get a shoe I like brecasue so few are manufactured in wide widths I am extremly disappointed and will no longer purchase this model

The One & Only
PostedMay 9, 2013
22 Years of working on the water with this shoe. They have not changed this true comfortable work horse (THANK YOU). For me it is like wearing a slipper but with awesome gripping of wet decks. If wearing on the water, a little leather sealer and they last and last.

Original Boat Shoe
PostedMay 8, 2013
I have purchased this product for over 20 years and find it a reliable product. I get this shoe wet and it holds it up well. I only broke one set of shoe strings in all the years of owning the prduct. My brother has started to use this shoe for over 5 years and he likes the shoe for its ability to get wet and hold up.

PostedMay 7, 2013
The shoes worked well except the right shoes' sole started peeling up after wearing them just one time. I now have to look for super glue to glue it back down. Kinda of annoying for paying 80 dollars for a pair of shoes to have them start falling apart after the first time you wear them.

Great Product
PostedMay 1, 2013
My son wears a 13 wide which is not easy to find. He loved the style, the color and most of all said it was very comfortable. I never buy him shoes online because he wears such an unusually size and I dont like having to send them back. This was a great shoe! Thank You Sperry!!

Very comfortable. Poor insole design.
PostedApril 29, 2013
First of all let me say I was very excited to try my first pair of Sperrys. I had tried them on before and I find them to be very comfortable and I love the way they look. However, after one week of limited use (mostly around the house to break them in) the insole starting to peel back. Your feet will naturally perspire if you wear them sockless and the insole ends before the toes. As a result, when you pull your feet out of the shoe it pulls up the insole that appears to be glued in. When I compared this design to another pair of boat shoes I own, I noticed that on my other pair the insole is stitched in at the front, preventing the insole from peeling back as I remove my feet from the shoe. It seems Sperry could easily fix this problem, but until they redesign this fatal flaw, I don’t feel I can recommend them based on their cost. For $80, I shouldn’t be having this problem. To say the least, I’m a little disappointed.

iffy about boat shoes at first but this pair converted me
PostedApril 29, 2013
i've had my pair from 2009 and its been with me everywhere during the summer. fishing, beaches, and pool parties. ive never been the type to like a pair of shoes you dont wear socks in but this one is different. The only bad part is from the age the sole has started to turn yellow.

Best Shoe I Have Ever Purchased
PostedApril 29, 2013
My foot is a size 11 in length and a size 13 in width, so I purchased a size 11W in Tan. No shoe I have ever owned has fit as well and felt as comfortable as this shoe. The Tan leather looks great and has held up extremely well. I recommend this shoe to everyone and am very glad I made this purchase.
