Fits 1/2 Size Too Small

Order 1/2 size larger than your regular size and I think you will be happy. I am.

PostedMay 8, 2013
I ordered my regular size (9 1/2 W). When I got them I tried them on and they felt too tight. I considered trying to wear them until they stretched enough to be comfortable. I decided to order 1/2 size larger (10 W) and I am glad I did. A comfortable fit right out of the box. I did notice that the Sperry boats shoes of Today are different than their predecessors of 20 or 30 years ago in that the flap that contains the eyes and laces is located about 3/4 inch closer to the heel end of the shoe than they were in my Sperry's from the 1880's. With this style I suggest you start with 1/2 size larger than you wear in most shoes and I think you will be pleased with the fit and comfort of your Sperry's. I particularly like the AVS Mariner II, and the Mako II. My son got the Gold Cup Authentic Original 2-Eye boat shoe and they look and feel fabulous but also are a little tight on him, but the leather is so soft he will likely just wear them and they will loosen up. . I will try them too if and when they offer them is Wide width.

A Classic Top-Sider in every sense!

PostedMay 6, 2013
I have owned this Top-Sider in the past and was so happy to see it back in the line. It's truly a classic !!! ...and my "go to" foot gear for shorts, Khakis or jeans.
Thanks for the return of a trusted favorite !!!

Heel stitching is too rough

PostedMarch 22, 2013
I usually love Topsiders and break them in while wearing socks. However, this time the double stitching in the heal is extremely rough- even with athletic socks.
Loved the look & fit, but returned them anyway. :(

Great shoe thats needs some break-in time

PostedFebruary 5, 2013
I've been impressed with the durability and how long my Sperry's have lasted in the past and this one seems to be built just as good. From past experience I have realized that all my Sperry's take some time to break in and if I try to wear them on day 1 without socks my feet will get tore up, this pair was no different. However, with the best shoes/boots I've ever owned the good leather ones always took some time to get broke in, but they always are the most comfortable and last the longest. I try to get my new Sperry's in the winter time so I can break them in over time with socks on so by the time the warmer months get here I'm good to go wearing them slick hoofed.

Too Narrow

PostedFebruary 5, 2013
I think Sperry shoes are awesome!!!! In fact most of my shoes I own are Sperry's. I always purchase a wide width and they have always fit perfect, but for some reason this style in the wide width are way to narrow.

I made a great decision to get these!

PostedJanuary 9, 2013
I have been eyeing these shoes for a while now and finally got them. Glad I did. They took some time to break in but once they were I have been in love ever since. Although they are a bit more narrow than other Sperry's I've worn in the past, they fit great to my skinny foot. They are very comfortable and different from the everyday Sperry's you see all the time. Definitely love the Mariner!

PostedOctober 26, 2012
Best shoe you have ever made. Been buying this shoe since it was first made. I always buy the suede leather. I just through them in the washing machine, and let them dry with a pair of shoe trees in them.
Great Shoe!

Eh.

PostedOctober 6, 2012
This was my fourth pair of Sperry's, would rather have another pair of the Men's Charter 2-Eye, which are the ones I'm replacing. Purchased the exact same size as the last three pair, but these fit too narrow, I could feel blisters coming on in minutes, so returning. Other pairs have needed zero break in... As for the Charter, those have been the best pair of shoes I've ever owned, wish I could get more...

Quality is clearly lacking!

PostedSeptember 4, 2012
I picked up a pair of these shoes because I heard Sperry was top quality. I was initially upset to find out that as soon as I got home I realized that the sole of the shoe was pulling up...
OK no big deal, I took them back and they gave me a new pair. Now here I am about 3 weeks later with the new pair and the sole is peeling back halfway into the middle of the shoe, I can barely wear them now....

Shoe is way too narrow

PostedAugust 1, 2012
Description states shoe is wide, but I have a pair of Top-siders for 3 years, and they are much wider, but unfortunately, that model was discontinued.
I wore these Sunday, July 29th for a day, and I have battle scars to prove it. I'm going to try and stretch them out, but I never had to do that with my old pair. I have blisters on my Pinky and Big toes on both feet, and on the top as well.
Very disappointed that the size is so inaccurate, and these are the same size as my old ones.

Best Shoe Ever

PostedMay 25, 2012
I have been wearing the Mariner for years and years.
Thanks for bring it back. The Billfish is a good shoe, but it does not hold a candle to the Mariner. I wear them everyday.

Much Improved features

PostedMay 18, 2012
This reverse suede off white boat shoe gives more support and longevity than the original shoe which acted more like a moccasin. I find that it fits me pefectly, and looks great. Those of us from the SE coastal areas grew up wearing the original version, but this is a higher quality shoe and looks almost identical. I highly recommend it.

Looks cheap

PostedMay 14, 2012
This is a cheap model for the Gold Cup. The off white suade and the sole are inferior material and you have to pay for shipping to return them.

Great shoes

PostedApril 25, 2012
I'm not sure on how it fits, as I seem to use a different size of shoe depending on type. However, I had a pair of these for about a year, and the stitching in the sole went out on one of the shoes. I contacted customer service, and within 2 weeks, they had sent me a new pair. THANK YOU for standing behind your product! Will be back for many more pairs in the future!

Great looking and very stylish. Very uncomfortable

PostedMarch 29, 2012
I own several Sperry Shoes and have been very pleased in the past. The ASV fits 1/2 size smaller than the other two pairs that I own. Also the sides of the shoe are higher than the two other pair of shoes that I own and rub against your ankle bone. Very comfortable and unfortunately not noticed until I wore them a day. I hope that I can return with one day's wear!
