I purchased pair of Top Siders (the Authentic Original model) to replace a worn pair. I ordered the same size and the same model I had worn for years. Unfortunately, the new pair were too small despite ordering the same size shoe. And somewhat more distressing (considering I can just order the next larger size) was that the "build quality" was not equal to the 5 year older shoe. Progress? I think not.

Just a warning regarding the "oatmeal" shoes. On the first pair I received in size 10.5, the sole on the left shoe was noticeably harder and slicker than the right sole...and within a week the left sole started to show cracks, although you could not see them unless the sole was flexed. I returned these shoes and got a new pair within 2 days. Great service! However, I've noticed the same problem with the sole of the left shoe on the new pair. The left sole has not cracked yet, but I'm sure that it will. I believe that Sperry has a defective batch of left shoes in the color "oatmeal". Buyer beware.

Not sure what's been going on with Sperry lately. Have been wearing these since I started wearing shoes, but my last two pairs have been made with a lesser quality leather and the soles have separated from the shoe. Afraid they shifted to a new manufacturer since their recent spike in popularity. Need a new pair and am considering Timberland. They're losing a life-long customer.

Disappointed! After reading customer reviews I ordered pair of these shoes in half size smaller, so that I could wear 'em without socks. Shoe quality is not so good, insoles made of cheap leather and they smell awful! There is no arch support, if you walk with 'em for half hour your feet hurt, not mentioning that the stitches in the back of the shoes scratch your ankles if you want to wear them without socks. When I put the white socks on after an hour on my feet with these shoes they became brown! So unless you want to wear them with black socks and you don't walk or stand as much as I do they are OK.

We love sperrys! The soles of these ripped very easily only after a few wears. Made us so sad.

My husband wore these shoes 3 times. The 3rd time, the right shoe started falling apart. We've never had this issue with Sperry's before so not sure what happened here.

I've gone through a few pairs of these over the last 20 something years, always loved them. This last pair the quality was anything but good. Overall they feel cheap and like many other reviews here they broke in the same spot, where the sole attaches to the toe. I was going to buy a replacement pair figuring it was just a one off thing, but after seeing enough recent reviews I decided it'd be smarter to find a different brand.

Unfortunately, the sole cracked where it is stitched to the upper. Have been wearing these for decades and they have been reliable up until now.. Very light use when this happened as I have several pairs.

The new cross lace design is a step backward. I really do not like these topsiders. If you do not add the old lace-up versions back into your lineup, I'm afraid I am going to have to find a different shoe than the one I have been purchasing for the last about 30-something years.

The sole of the right one came apart at the toe area after less than 6 months of occasional use.

soles falling apart after a few weeks. I've purchased many pairs of Sperry shoes over the years for myself and my kids- and never had a shoes start coming apart at the sole, not even after years of wear

I wore these shoes as a kid as part of my school uniform. I put them through all the trials you can imagine a kid would. Saw them on someone the other day and thought, let's give those a try again. Really liked them at firstthe look was as I remember, after a day or two they were comfortable. I was looking forward to the leather getting a little more worn in of a look, but about 3-weeks into owning them, the sole on both shoes tore away from itself at the toe. First one, then the next day the other, and I wasn't dragging the front of the shoe. Really disappointed. I want these to work out. I'm just wondering if the rubber they are using now is total garbage, or were these just a lemon?

Nice color, good fit, but unfortunately fell apart after first use. Have not had a chance to speak with customer service because it happened on the first day of a two week vacation. My shoes were fine, so I am hoping it's a one off.

Ironic that I was contacted today for this review. They fit perfectly. I applied a leather crme to help soften them up and wore them in the house a few times so that I wouldn't get blisters. I've worn them outside maybe three or four times. I just noticed that the front part of the sole on one shoe has separated from the shoe. It looks like the sole split thru where it is stitched.
How can I return these defective shoes?

The last pair of Sperry boat shoes I had lasted forever - these lasted for a month. The soles cracked and separated; not sure if it's a supply chain/sourcing issue, but very disappointed. 0/10 would not recommend.

Within months of purchasing the shoes, and breaking them in, the stitches on the right shoe in the front broke through the sole. They are now irreparable because the shoe repair shops say that they lack the machine to make the repair, and even if they could get the soles (they cannot) the repair for the single shoe would be as costly as a new pair of shoes.

What is going on with the soles of these shoes? They are no longer white rubber with excellent traction. The soles now are made of a rigid yellow frictionless (making them deadly slippery) plastic. RIP Sperry. I will miss your wonderful boat shores of days gone by.

These definitely are not for men with wide feet...even so marked as wide on the box and show indicated inside it was wide it was not.

These are the smallest size 9 wide shoes that I have ever tried to pry on to my foot. No chance, maybe a size 11 extra wide would fit. Pathetic sizing.

I have ordered Timberland Earthkeepers Kiawah Bay boat-shoes for my husband for several years and he has been very comfortable wearing them on a daily basis. He wears a size 16 so our options are limited and the Timberland shoes are not currently available so I ordered the Sperry Top-Sider. This shoe is very poor quality and the soles are so thin that his feet immediately became painful, he even bought cushioned inserts in an attempt to solve the problem. Luckily we bought them here at Zappos where customer service is great and we were able to return them.

I have been buying Sperry boat shoes for years and just recently I have had issues with this brand... The last pair I bought lasted an entire 2 years. However recently Sperry has clearly tried to up their margins by increasing the cost of the shoes while decreasing the quality making them much cheaper... The pair that I recently bought feel apart in 2 weeks so Zappos was kind enough to exchange, however the sole of the second pair of shoes weren't glued in fell apart immediately. I will be calling Zappos again for an exchange and switching to a new brand of boat shoes. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. My experience so recently has been so bad that my entire family has stopped purchasing Sperry brand boat shoes. I will be sure to contact Sperry and complain, if anyone else runs into this problem I suggest you do the same so they are aware of their terrible product.
