black feet

PostedMay 9, 2013
This is at least my 10th pair of sperry boat shoes I have purchased, unfortunately this is the 1st time I have been disappointed in your product. I wear your shoes with no sox's & have never had an issue in the past but these shoes are leaving my feet black from the dye "I'm guessing" & I had a very hard time getting the black dye off my feet. I will now wear them with black sox's along with long pants & hope it stops giving off the dye, because I normally only wear them with shorts & would never wear sox's when wearing shorts.

Great Shoe!

PostedApril 18, 2013
I got the Navy/off-white tri-tones, and they look really good. Everyone in my fraternity has told me how great they look. They go with everything! I would definitely recommend these to anyone, they turn heads!

This product is poor

PostedMarch 26, 2013
The shoes are pretty uncomfortable, and the leather is thinner than I expected. I bought the off white/blue/mahogany color pattern and the off white was a solid grey. I still enjoy and recommend sperry, but this just isn't one of their better products.

Love all my sperrys

PostedMarch 14, 2013
I have always needed shoe sizes to be wide. I haven't yet tried the original boat shoe in extra wide but my Billfish shoes are a perfect fit so I decided to order the originals in just the "wide" width and unfortunately they are very narrow across the crown of the foot and around the arch. Still trying to give them a shot to see if they loosen up after a break in. Not giving up on my Sperrys!

Off white / brown / orange shoes are the bomb

PostedFebruary 21, 2013
I bought the white/br/or shoes at the Dallas North Park store but realized I bought them 1/2 size too big when I tried them on at home. My top-siders are 1/2 size larger. When I went to the Dallas store to exchange them, they didn't have my size but offered to call another store (in Austin) and mail them to my house at no cost, and now I have the right size. I was impressed with the great service at the store and highly recommend the Sperry store! Thanks Dallas staff!

I can't wear these things out. I wear them for work at least 300 days per year and each pair lasts two to three years.

Excellent Pair of Everyday Shoes

PostedFebruary 1, 2013
These are my second pair of Sperrys, and although they don't fit perfectly at first they are a great pair. One you find your size these shoes are great for every day use or can be dressed up for a more classy event.

Teen-age son loves this shoe!

PostedFebruary 1, 2013
Bought this shoe as a Christmas present for my teen-age son and he loves them. He actually picked the style out (Sperry's are all the rage with teen-agers) and has added them to his "collection"! As his mom, I've been bitten by the Sperry "bug' too!

My Grandson gave me his christmas list just 3 days before the holiday! I went on line and ordered this tri-color shoe that was on his list and got it before the weekend.
He love them and will order on line again for his birthday soon.

Great new color

PostedJanuary 28, 2013
I got several compliments on the color of these shoes, the first night I wore them. These are now my favorite color of the 18 pairs I have. I'm semi-retired, and I wear Sperry Topsiders almost exclusively, including casual dress bucks
I wish you'd bring back the other tri-color shoes. One was predominantly red, and the other predominantly blue

Thin leather and off color descriptions

PostedMarch 8, 2013
I fell in love with these shoes when I first saw them on Sperry's website. When they went down to $60 I decided to order a pair. The first thing I noticed when I received them was the slight difference in color as compared to the pictures on the internet; I realize that a picture seen on a screen isn't going to be 100% exact to what the actual product looks like, but what was supposed to be "off white" looks like a light gray, and what was supposed to be "mahogany" (a reddish-brown color) definitely lacks the red - it's more of a medium brown. The shoes are still attractive, however, just not exactly what I had expected. Also, the quality of the shoe just isn't that great. I assumed the quality would be similar to my Authentic Originals - but the leather on these shoes was much thinner and you can definitely tell.

Great shoe!

PostedOctober 16, 2012
I bought these shoes for my son, age 22. He loves them and wears them almost everyday to his new job! I like ordering online because they have every style and every size, unlike at the stores (even at the stores' websites). It was simple to order 2 sizes and return the one that didn't fit. I'll do it again.

this shoe was poorly constructed and very stiff - never had this issue with Sperry - costs money to return because of Sperry's return policy
don't but this shoe and don't buy on line

A comfortable shoe!

PostedJuly 9, 2012
I have been wearing topsiders as my primary choice of shoe for many years. I find them comfortable and stylish. Delivery and quality are always dependable. Competitively priced online, too, if you take advantage of the sales,

I have worn the Tri Tone Boat shoe for years and it is comfortable, light weight, durable and good for traction when it is wet out.

Love the shoe

PostedApril 13, 2012
I use this shoe as my everyday shoe wear, when not out in business. It is as good out sailing as it is walking my dog,. It gets wet and you let it dry, clean it, re-grease it and it is set to go again.
Also ordered the new X3 but haven't been able to test that in real circumstances, i.e. racing. One complaint regarding the sizing of the X3: It does not come in Wide and half numbers so I had to order a 11M which feels a little too long. We'll see.

I have owned two pairs of this style prior and this is my last.

I will admit that the two pair of boat shoes I have owned prior to these (both Sperry two tone) had a lug type (thicker) tread on the shoe and very well made. I looked on your web site and was unable to find the exact shoes I had but these looked very similar. I was very disappointed after wearing them for a day. My feet hurt as though I was walking around in my stocking feet. I think the shoes are not well made and I will not buy any other Sperry shoes..
PS, they are a good looking shoe
I have put 3 pictures of my old better constructed shoes on my review.
