Customer Reviews Sperry AO 2 Eye Leather MM

No Surprises, here. It's the shoe you wore in high school in the 80's and 90's with board shorts and long hair. As usual, breaking these in while sock-less might bruise your feet and/or toes not because the leather's stiff, or the shoe is tight, but because -if you're like me- your feet haven't walked on boat shoes in a while. Totally worth the temporary inconvenience. And at least in NYC every other stylish guy is wearing them (though theirs may have the built-in wear and comfort that comes from thrift store or hand-me-down acquisitions) so it's a "comforting" thought, no pun intended.. My suggestion: This is the one pair of shoes that don't look silly dangling from your hands, should your feet or toes require a break from your new Sperrys on those long walking days out. Pull up to a park bench, or sidewalk cafe and enjoy conversation and something cool for a spell. Roll up your trouser legs while you're at it. Sperrys were made for a casual lifestyle. Chances are it'll look intentional and very hip.

My favorite shoe in the world - I wear them every day (they don't have good arch support, but I don't care). My only complaint is that since my last pair of Top-Siders, Sperry has decided to paint the eyelets black (they used to be brass). The only reason I can think that they would do this is because they wanted the shoe to be more differentiated visually from the gold cups (the gold plated eyelets looked fairly close to the brass eyelets).

The best pair of shoes I have ever owned if you combine style, comfort, and quality. I even wear them when there is snow on the ground. These shoes can be worn inside or out, hot or cold, rain or shine, formal or informal.

What can I say. Simply a classic. It is exactly what is is and always has been. A perfect weekend shoe. Easy to wear. No fuss. Takes a beating. Fits well. Please excuse me though, I do wear socks. Lame, I know. Also have in several colors combinations and in suede for winter. Given the price, its easy to buy multiple pairs.

I got these shoes a while back and they are great! I wear them everyday and they match with just about everything. I purchased the "Sahara" colored ones, and I love them. They do bleed a little for the first week or so. My suggestion is to soak them multiple times until it dissipates. I have no problem with it now. I never wear socks with them, so they do tend to smell. Once again, I would suggest giving them a good dunk in clean water every three weeks or so to keep them clean and to help them form to your foot. Great shoe! RPS
