Men's Authentic Original Burnished Boat Shoe

Originally bought a 10 for my husband since that is what he usually wears. Had to return for a 9 1/2. He loves them.

Fantastic Shoe!

PostedMay 10, 2013
I ordered these shoes for my husband for his birthday and he loves them! He likes how the gray goes with so much and often tells me how comfortable they are. I would definitely buy him another pair in another color too!

Great Shoe

PostedMay 6, 2013
Never having purchased clothing or shoes on-line I was a bit nervous about doing so. I was amazed at the delivery time and the shoes were perfect. Exactly what I wanted.

Great Style; Moderate Comfort

PostedApril 8, 2013
The shoes look great, and match several different styles. You can wear them with all sorts of jeans, khakis, slacks, etc and they look like tailored to match. If you like white-soled shoes, this is definitely the way to go. The quality is also very high. I wear them a lot, and so far they've shown no visible signs of wear and tear. I also like the way they are breaking in; I have a fairly wide foot, and the leather has enough give in it after a few times wearing them to make the fit more comfortable. My only complaint (and it's probably not even fair to call it a complaint) is they aren't as comfortable as their Gold Cup line of shoes; unfortunately it's really not even close. The GC shoes are like walking on pillows, and their boat shoes are just kind of there. They're not uncomfortable by any stretch, they're just not noticeably comfortable like some of their other shoes. Overall I feel like the product is worth the purchase.

Great Dress-up or casual shoe!

PostedMarch 31, 2013
These shoes were purchased for my 17 year old son. He picked them out and has worn them out several times. They look great with dressy jeans and with everyday casual. He loves the fit and the style! Another Sperry convert! Thank you for the super color selection and great fit - as always!

Overall Great Shoe

PostedMarch 11, 2013
While not as sturdy as some of their other shoes, it looks good and is far more comfortable than others. I'd recommend it!

The shoe arrives feeling a little narrow, but soon stretches into shape. If you need to replace your old model 0786764 or 0197558 this is the shoe!

Standard top-sider style with great colors. Nice addition to other colors to wear with shorts or jeans.

Burnished Blue Boat Shoe

PostedFebruary 27, 2013
My husband owned a pair of these a couple years ago and it has been worn out (he wears them all the time) so I bought him another pair recently. He loves it! Comfortable and the style will always be in.

comfort plus

PostedFebruary 1, 2013
these shoes fit like a glove; they run true to size and they are extremely light and comfortable. I have 6 different pair of Topsiders and I like these because they go with blue jeans or black jeans. Easy to keep clean, they get softer every time you wear them

Gorgeous Shoe!

PostedFebruary 1, 2013
Bought a pair (in black) for my husband as a Christmas gift. I have always been impressed by the quality of Sperry products, and this shoe is no exception. What is exceptional however, is the lovely, supple leather used in making this shoe. I swear, my husband now goes out of his way each morning to choose an outfit that will go with these beautiful shoes. Guess I will have to get another pair in brown so that we can put his other clothes back in rotation :-). One note: husband's usual shoe size is 11 ... Had to exchange for a size 12 to get the right fit.

Bought these for my son for his 25th birthday - he loves them and he is a pretty picky customer when it comes to his shoes! He has received a lot of compliments and tells everyone where they were purchased.

Ordered this for my college aged son for Christmas. He loves the Sperry topsider shoes, and these were no exception. Ordered on a Saturday afternoon, and product came early the next week.

Shoe has very soft leather comparable to the Ice AO's. Strongly recommend.
