Sperry Men's Authentic Original 2-Eye Boat Shoe

Nice casual shoe. I ended up going up a full size in order to accommodate a verified wide foot, i.e., from 9 1/2 5E to 10 1/2 extra wide. But, the end result, was a very comfortable shoe.

My last pair has seen better days so I decided to buy another for my trip to Greece. They fit like a glove right out of the box and needed very little breaking in. These shoes seem to last a long time despite constant wearing.

Best looking and fitting of all the Sperry Top-Siders shoes. High quality product, lightweight with excellent traction. I've tried other models of Sperry Top-Siders, and some have synthetic interior materials and lug/treaded soles that are not are slip resistant as the Original Top-Siders soles.

I like the casual and relaxed appearance of this shoe. After breaking this in, it is easy to slip in and out of like a moccasin. It does require a break in period of time, and I expect it to become more comfortable. Size 12 is my normal athletic shoe size, and I ordered a size 11 1/2. I tried a size 12 and the length felt a little better but it was too wide and sloppy feeling. It is recommended to size down a half size, and I am glad I did.

I wore the original Topsiders 30 years ago. These are as good as the originals. I love how they look and fit.

My first pair lasted 20 years of salt water ocean racing. My second pair lasted about 10 more sailing years and 15-20 years of land use. I purchased my 3rd pair at age 81 primarily for use in the shower to help my wife into a shower chair and then off the chair, where an slipping could likely result in injury to myself, and critical injury to my wife of 56 wonderful years. They work always - haven’t had the first hint of a slip. My first efforts began with the use of a folded bath towel, which worked better than the bare wet tile floor, but too frequently did slip. I know that I have the best, safest solution. Unfortunately this third pair will outlast my future needs, so Sperry will have to rely on sales to others!It says volumes about the integrity of company management, that they have maintained the highest quality for all these years. I recommend this brand for any of their offerings.

Update 9/28I have been walking about a mile every day for a month on dirt trails and pebbly sand roads with daily abuse; no wear. I did apply shoe glue on the gap on around the bottom of the shoe... I am not sure if that makes a difference. I have not been kind to these shoes.Since I mostly only wear mocasins, I find these outside mocasins extremely cofortable. I like them.My guess is if the front of your shoe, that sticks out a bit, gets caught under anything; the shoe toe will fail.I have another "sale pair of Boat shoes. I have not worn them "yet" just to see if how the shoe fails.I am surpriesed that Sperry does not reply to the shoe failures seeing that they all have the same problem and most all 1/2 feedbacks have pictures.Getting a refund on these shoes would be impossible. Even from long time customers expericing these failuresFirst ReviewThe shoes are on sale and are exactly what I wear throught-out the year. However, several 2023 reviews show, with pictures, the soles coming apart within a month,I carefully inspected them. They look perfect and feel comfortable. So I will wait. I have shoe glues to fix them if they do start showing signs of falling apart. Hopefully this is an isolated problem. I will add to this review if the shoe develops problem.

My husband, he has had a pair of Sperry deck shoes just like this for years but recently the stitching on the sole wore out. We ordered these and they fit perfectly but we were just disappointed that the leather had scratches. But obviously they will get scratched up in week so we kept them.

Zapatos geniales, duraderos y de muy buena Calidad, Sperrys

These are so comfortable. Exactly as show. Recommended.

A la moda y cómodos, ideales para verano

Very pleased with these shoes, also got them at a great price. All Sperry shoes fit small. Order at least one-half size larger than you normally wear and be sure to order in a wide width. Very well made product.
