Customer Reviews Sperry Pelican Tall Boot DELETE

Seam opened up after 1 season! Cold water coming in. The seam between the sole and the top part of the boot opened up on both L and R boots after 1 season so cold water seeps in... And I only wore these on regular rainy days. I didn't abuse these.

Felt great but defective - Great fit and look but defective seam on right-side boot - had to exchange after only a month and a half. Another tear occurred in the right-side boot once again in the exchanged pair so have given up on Sperry in this case. Zappos handled both incidences with great customer service, as always.

I do not recommend these boots for anything more than a casual stroll in the mist. I wore them for the second time while camping and my fee were completely soaked. There must have been a crack in the seam which I didn't see; not six months later, it is fully visible. Guess I'll buy some Hunters.

Cheap seams - The boots didn't even last 2 months. The seam on the right boot ripped.

Seam tears--beware! Like many people who have posted, the seam tore right along the edge of the right boot, so now they are no longer water proof. I have only worn them a handful of times going to and from class, and I am really disappointed. I wish I would have read these reviews before I bought them!

Pass please! Not durable. I haven't even had these boots for a full year yet and I probably haven't worn them any more than 6-7 times (and only on campus, from class to class, so very light wear). YET, today, I discovered that the rubber has torn along the seam, exposing the lining - on the right boot. Previously when I wore these, it had seemed like my foot felt a bit wet, so I think the tear was there much earlier, but that I just never noticed until now. I've read the other comments - what's going on with only the right boot ripping? Comfort: warning, it's a sock-sucker and after it sucks your socks halfway down your feet, it'll start chafing your heels. Footbed itself is pretty comfortable and seems to be well-cushioned, though the sock-sucking aspect distracts from any other comfort of this shoe. Look: actually, I think this boot is too shiny, looks kind of dominatrix, which if you like, is fine, but I prefer something more matte. For me, awkward shaft height, too (5'3-5'4). In sum: be forewarned, your boot may or may not tear after a few uses, but why take the chance anyway?

Poorly made - I was surprised to read so many reviews from people who had the same problem I did. After about 2 weeks of wearing the rain boots (occasionally), a rip occurred in the right boot where the design meets the bottom. SO disappointed, especially with the reputation of the Sperry company. It's such a shame because they are incredibly cute and fit very well.

They ripped at the seam - I had only been wearing the boots for about a month when I discovered a rip at the seam of the upper and rubber sole. It happened on a particularly rainy night and water starting seeping in really fast. Sooooo disappointing since the boots were otherwise comfortable and attractive easy to tuck my pant legs into.

Disappointed - Loved the look and comfort of this boot, however, they ended up getting a hole in the side of the boot after being worn only 2 times. They were either defective when I got them (didn't see the hole), or just of poor quality (weak) in that you cannot let the boot touch up against anything (such as a curb or rock) or will get a hole in them. I am sending them back.

Cheap rubber layer tears - Wore them maybe 6 times and they developed a tear from side to front. Very thin rubber layer over a felt (?) inner form. Very disappointed in the brand whose boat shoes I've worn for years.

Defective boots - I ordered these boots a couple months ago, wore them a few times and noticed on the right shoe that the seam to the sole had ripped clean apart. I returned them to Zappos thinking I must have just received a dud pair. I decided to exchange them and was so excited to finally get them back. I received them last week and wore them once today and low and behold, the right shoe has a tear in the seam. I will be returning these and not reordering them again. I think twice is enough. Too bad since they were really cute and comfy.

Disappointed... I am sending them back after only two weeks because the rubber (on the inside of the foot) tore where it joins to the sole.
