Sperry Top-Sider Angelfish

Sperry Top-Sider is the original brand of boat shoe designed in 1935 by Paul Sperry. They were the first boat shoes introduced into the boating market. They have become widely popular in not only young women but young men today. With over a hundred styles to choose from it makes it difficult to find the one that fits you. Personally, I own the Linen color Angelfish Slip-On Boat Shoe. My first impression of these shoes was utter disgust. I thought they were extremely ugly and refused to not only buy them but try them on. Now these shoes have become one of the best purchases of my short college career. My shoes must be able to match all my clothes. With so many choices it's fairly easy to find the one that "calls" to you; however, you may have to search a bit because of how much they offer. They come in neutral colors such as brown, light brown, pink, and denim blue. They have patterns, colors, styles, and even the popular black and white sparkly pair. These shoes are versatile, casual, stylish, and comfortable shoe. I love that I can walk around campus without gym shoes and without flip-flops but still feel comfortable. They are extremely easy to slip on and if you don't like wearing socks that much, these are perfect for you. Sperry's are rather expensive. It was hard spending that much money on them but in the end they are worth it. If you way out all that you are getting they kind of make up for the prices. I would be more than happy to spend about half this price and maybe even buy a second pair right then. They are extremely easy to find especially because of their popularity. They can be found in many large department stores in the mall such as Macy's and Dillard's. Also, all over the internet such as sperrytopsider.com. and zappos.com which even offers free shipping. If you just search the internet several websites pop up. They are super comfortable almost as comfortable as my house shoes. They're easy to slip on. No tie. It's advised that you buy half a size smaller than you usually wear because they loosen up within a day of wearing them. Blue jeans turn the leather blue. They are wonderful in the rain. They don't get ruined in water. Non-slick bottoms so you aren't falling all over the place in slippery surfaces. I've had my shoes for about 6 months and they still look the same as the day I got them, with a few scratches and blue coloring here and there, I still am impressed with how they look. I've had several friends who have had them for over a year and they still continue to wear them. They have been stepped on, thrown, stuff spilt on them, dragged through water, and yet I am still in love with them. They come in plain brown box with the original white tissue paper. Display tables at the stores come with a wide variety of styles. However, they look the same as any other table. Nothing too flashy to look at or that catches my attention. You can dress them up or even dress them down. They match with jeans and even if you feel like wearing some sweats. Now that it has gotten colder these days I choose to wear them with jean pants but during the summer I wore them with shorts all the time. My light brown pair matches with just about every color shirt I wear. These shoes compared to all my others rank number one. They are ten times more comfortable than heels, easier to put on than gym shoes, and more protective than flip- flops. The big question - are they worth it? Totally. I'm even asking for a new pair for Christmas. I went from hating these shoes to falling in love with them within a minute of wearing them. I would definitely recommend these shoes looking for a "good" pair of shoes.
