Men's Authentic Original Suede Boat Shoe

Love This Shoe, My 2nd Pair

PostedFebruary 19, 2013
I really enjoy the style of this shoe and glad they have brought it back, I had a pair that I had accidentally ruined and I wanted another pair so bad. Recently bought these and they fit a bit bigger than the other pair of AO's but are super comfortable and I get compliments on the style all the time, love the look of these and I even got the gray pair on sale.

I've enjoy Sperry Topsiders for more years than I care to admit

PostedNovember 6, 2012
So far so good. I was concerned about the fit, but lo and behold, they fit true to size. I've had so many Sperry Top siders because I spent many years living in the Caribbean. They just work.

too small

PostedOctober 29, 2012
Buying Sperry is a very random experience.
ASV mariner 2, Mako 2-eye, some AO's fit well
Some AO's, all else about 1 size too small.
Width always suspect; length some times.
Solution: Always buy 2 or 3; send others back. YOU pay return shipping.

They run a bit big so maybe go down half a size or even a whole size.

Sperry tradition of excellence continues.

PostedApril 30, 2012
I have been wearing Sperry shoes fro over 40 years, that only speaks volumes. I have never had a bad experience with any style. You can count on getting a quality shoe..The original boat shoe has been my favorite. These are my first black suede. Not only are they extremely comfortable but functional as well. The best part is, my wife LOVES THEM!

A little too big.

PostedDecember 30, 2011
My son was very excited to get these new shoes. He is only 15 years old and wears a size 15 shoe! Finding shoes in large sizes is not easy. My only problem with this product is that it ran a little too big. I really could have gotten him a size 14 or 14.5. I will know next time. These were our first Sperry shoes.

For the value i would and do recommend this shoe, you cannot beat the style

PostedNovember 18, 2011
This is the shoe to wear to be in the grove. You can not be in style without AOSBS in closet. The "others" fall in behind AOSBS in value, quality, style and comfort.

I received my Green Suede Boat Shoes when expected and much to my surprise, they looked even better in person. I would highly recommend this shoe to others. It's like wearing slippers!!! They are so comfortable.

This boatshoe has great style and fit.

PostedOctober 25, 2011
As expected with all Sperry footwear, this boatshoe fit perfectly. It was pure comfort from the first step and the style always looks great. I was excited to find this particular color with the white sole since I prefer only white soles for the contrast and great look.

men's for women

PostedJuly 19, 2011
I got the company to tell me my size in men's shoes so I could choose from the many more options in men's. I get compliments from total strangers on my red and blue pairs. Plus, I get to warn everyone to "stay off of my blue suede shoes". Nice stretch was helpful with fitting the lump caused by my bone spur. (Did you know one can buy a device to stretch leather in a specific location?)

Great shoe at a great price

PostedJune 9, 2011
We found a special online and ordered them right away. They were cheap and shipped within a decent time frame. Love the shoes. Very comfortable and stylish. We got the white ones though, looks like they are sold out.

Red not available in store

PostedJune 3, 2011
Total cost and waiting period a little on the high side.
Bought direct as store MACY did not have red.

Amazing!

PostedMay 30, 2011
I've had three pairs of shoes in my life that stood out immediately as I put them on, and this was the third. Of course, I am only four years old, but still. The first time I slipped them on and laced them up they felt like I had had them for years... well no more than four years because that is my age. And yes, the red looks great!

Very dissappointed with the off color of the Dark Grey

PostedMay 6, 2011
I was very dissapointed with my order. I ordered the Dark Grey and because of problems I had navigating the web site was sent too pairs. I opened the packages and much to my dismay found that the color of the shoe was not a true grey at all but a brown grey that completely bummed me out .The shoe color was NOt the color of the shoe online or the color printout I made of the shoe to check the color at a larger scale before ordering.I have now returned the shoes at my expense of course and will not be ordering from Sperry any time in the near future.
