Sperry Men's Authentic Original 2-Eye Boat Shoe

This might be controversial among the Sperry’s community but if you know that you have wider feet, SIZE UP! I bought some Sperry’s Boat shoes 2 years ago in my size at one of there stores and they were tight, the salesman said that I would break them in but it never happened. I had to sell that old pair because every time I wore them it hurt and were way too tight. So when I wanted some new Sperry’s Boat shoes I got a size 13 instead of a 12 (my size in vans btw) and they are way more comfortable! They fit well and don’t pinch me. I think the concept of breaking shoes in applies more towards them molding to your feet, they shouldn’t “expand” or “get bigger” at least enough to make an already tight and uncomfortable pair become comfy. When your parents took you to get shoes as a kid what did they say, “are they comfortable? Do they fit well?” And I think that still applies even with these types of shoes despite the narrative of “size down because you will break them in.” I want to clarify that I wear these shoes for leisure and style and they are not for work, maybe if you’re on a sailboat you would want something super tight? I don’t know but I do know that sizing up solved the poor fit problem for me. I love the look of these shoes they are perfect for summer and going sock-less is so nice when it is toasty outside. If you want a simple way to dress up a casual summer outfit these are a perfect choice.

Great, classic, and elegant shoes. I typically wear a 10.5 in running shoes but sized down to a 9.5 for these. They were a little tight initially, but they loosened up after a coupld wears and now fit perfectly.

These are just what I wanted and fit very well indeed! They came quickly and met me while on vacation so that was nice. A classic look and nice earth tone color. A good deal too for Sperry Topsiders!

Fits a little weird, had to try a few sizes. Shoes look great though and great quality.

I have over a dozen pairs of these Sperry shoes. Some are getting a little beat up after a decade, so I am replenishing the collection! Since Amazon bought Zappos, prices are much higher. I wait for price drops. The quality, appearance, materials used, and fit have not changed. Amazon is artificially inflating the price. Once you buy a pair for say $65, and then look at more, they are suddenly $110. So if you are thinking of getting more than one pair do it in one session. Also, I'd wait to look at them on the day of purchase. I have noticed that if I look at something and go back later to buy, the price almost always isat least 10% higher.

Great look and quality! We also love the color.

Shoes are perfect..very happy with my order

I’ve always wanted a pair of top siders. I’ve been wearing a lot of moc-toe loafers and boots, but I didn’t have anything casual enough to wear with shorts and still look put together enough for a nice dinner. Pro’s: The toe box is nice and wide, toes. Lace system goes all the way around the back. It’s a true moccasin construction, stitched through to the sole. Very comfortable. More casual than a loafer, more formal than a sneaker. Very lightweight. A great value at $100. Cons: The sole is of course pretty thin, and I don’t know how comfortable these would be if you had to stand around all day in them. The insole, while contoured is a little thin and flimsy. I’d like to put my own insole in these, but It’s glued in. I’m. Sure they should pull out easy enough. I’m guessing they do that to keep the insole from shifting around. All in all, I’m going to stick with my 5, because I knew what they are when I ordered them, and they exceeded my expectations at $100. A very versatile, and comfortable preppy classic.

Size is mentioned not correct

Lovely shoe.. Been wearing these since the 90's.. It's pretty much the only shoe I wear. Proper Sperry's last for ages (years). Cheaper imitations fail as quick as 6 months. Once they've been worn for a few weeks, they feel like comfortable slippers. Never had a shoe more comfortable. They are that good I only wear socks when it's cold. My advice - get two (or more) pairs and never wear a pair two days in a row. collectively, they last longer as the days 'breather' lets the shoe recover. The pair these are replacing are over 4 years old, been worn every other day and it's only that the sole is getting a little thin that demands the replacement. Watch out for the sizing! the shoes are labelled (in white inside the tongue) in US sizes. UK sizes are one down (UK10=US11) I normally a UK10/Wide, whereas in these I'm a US11/Medium.. Any decent shopping centre (eg: Bluewater) will have these in-store for you to try on. Go for the slightly snug fit as the shoe will stretch slightly to perfectly mould your feet. I find getting them wet/damp and wearing them for the day results in a perfect fit. (only advised in warm weather) Never had the stitching come apart Never had the sole split Never had the sole come away from the shoe

Excellent shoes and a total bargain price.
