Sperry Women's Authentic Original Boat Shoe

My shoe wardrobe contains some 20 odd pairs of Sperry and these are my favorite. The leather is softer and more flexible than others. The footbed is well cushioned and good for occasional flares of plantar fasciitis. I appreciate that while these are a metallic, they are not sparkly. They are my frequent choice for comfort in a great neutral.

I love Sperry A/O 2-Eye Boat Shoes! I always treat myself to a new pair every spring. A different color, of course. I had the gray boat shoes on my wishlist for a couple months. I'm too cheap to pay full retail price for anything. Insomnia and Prime worked well for me. I was checking my wishlist around 3:00 am. The shoes had dropped 46% in price since I added them to my wishlist. Time to buy! Sperry makes great shoes. The boat shoes are all leather including the laces. There is light cushioning from the heel to just past the arch. Sperry's tend to run narrow, but that works great for me. The 360 lacing system helps me snug up the shoe so my heel doesn't slip up and down. Very comfortable right out of the box. I do wear no show socks with them. Very excited about my new shoes, but sad because my collection of colors is now complete.

I normally wear a size 9 in Sperry shoes and that's what I ordered in these. They were a tiny bit loose but I could tighten them with the ribbon very easily and they are very comfortable with no break-in needed. I wasn't sure that I would actually like a floral shoe as I thought it might be a bit corny but I actually like them a lot. The fabric is a Liberty print with small flowers on a black background but the leather and satin ribbon are a deep navy blue. I like the black/navy combo.Edit: Re: the color, they are not black. These are a very dark navy blue. They may look black at first but in the daylight, they are definitely blue and when I hold a black top up against them, the blue shines through.

Very disappointed with order. Bought new shoes and received USED shoes!

These shoes were bought with a gift card that I got for my birthday. I am a size 10, with a slightly raised arch on TOP of my foot that can cause trouble when irritated by laces or shoes that are just a little too tight. I had been eyeing Sperrys for a while, but as a college student, haven't pulled the trigger because of the price. My work shoes were starting to fall apart (grey moccasins for a business casual environment) and I desperately needed new ones. I didn't think I could get Sperrys for such a great price, but I found these beauties in light grey and fell in love. I ordered them, got them in brand new packaging two days later, and am wearing them at work today. They are comfortable, practical, super cute, and I can tell by the stitching and material they are great quality. It's a great shoe for casual, business casual, or a day on the boat. I LOVE these shoes, and would recommend them to anyone. The ONLY drawback being if you need arch support, these shoes are not for you. Maybe Sperry offers other shoes with more support, but as far as the Top-Sider Women's A/O 2-Eye Boat shoe, there really isn't much offered.

Love this shoe. The coral color is gorgeous, looking a lot like a faded, pinky Nantucket red. What a perfect color for a boat shoe! The leather has a nice, weathered-looking surface. The yellow color is simply too bright fo me, kind of like a chrome yellow, and I am returning it. I bought both 7.5 and 8 sizes in both colors. My usually-size-8 feet fit best in the size 7.5, In the size 8, there was an entire thumb length between the top of my toes and the end of the shoe, and I prefer that in the size 7.5 there is only 1/2 inch of space. The size 7.5 shoe fits snugly right now, but I know from experience with Sperry that these will stretch to conform to my feet. So glad I snapped up a pair on sale at the end of the season. Don't hesitate to get a pair for yourself.

Ok, so this is the second time I've bought these shoes from amazon. I got them at Macy's the first time like 5 years ago, and never found them again Til about two years ago. They are incredible! I love them, wear them just about everyday, and only take about 3-4 wears to break in. I get small blisters the first time, but they're bearable. They last about a year because I don't like to wear socks with them, so they stank, and there is no hope for smelly boat shoes. At all. I tried everything including soft scrub, and soaking in bleach. Ruined the color which was ok because they were so comfey, and it was the last resort. Still stank, so I jut bought another pair! These shoes rule, and the sizing is confusing, so read a size chart on google. Also, THEY STRETCH. So, they will feel too small when you fort wear them. Don't freak out! They got great after 3 wears!

Sperry makes 6 or more variations of the classic Top Sider Boat shoe.these range from $40 a pair, to $340 a pair.some of them look VERY similar in pictures, but are obviously of varying grades of quality.I think there;s 3 models, a $60, a $90, and a $150, that are nearly indistinguishable unless you are holding them in your hands.I'm fairly certain everybody complaining about these being Knock-Offs just bought a cheaper model shoe than the more expensive ones they are used to.that is all
