Customer Reviews Sperry AO 2 Eye Leather MM

I purchased these shoes in late May 2010. I did not wear them until mid 2011. The left sole began delaminating from the shoe after four months of wear. I continued to use them and attempted to glue the sole back with Shoe Goop. That did not work. I finally gave up and sent an email asking if the poor quality stitching problem had been resolved since I would like to buy another pair. I have owned at least 15 pairs since 1975 and all of them have failed after four years of extremely hard wear and never once has the sole come apart. The leather usually cracks after repeated wet and dry cycles over many years. I requested compensation from Sperry and them shipped back to them for evaluation.

Made in China! This shoe is much lighter in color than the image depicts. It is also not as shiny as the picture. It is very comfortable and requires no breaking in. It has no arch support. It is like standing on the floor. I would have given them more stars, but they are made in China. I did not know that until I had already worn them and was unable to return them.

My husband has wide feet but usually will fit in a general wide shoe (E). These shoes are so narrow that the extra wide was still way too snug.

They look very good when you first get them but after a couple weeks of wearing they fall apart fast and the sole stitching starts to come undone. They look cool and are really comfortable but they just don't last as long as they should for this price.

These shoes look even better than I expected but every time I take a step it makes an annoying squeaking sound.

I play sports and wear white socks a lot. These shoes turned my white socks brown and I only wore them for 1 day at work and I work inside.

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.

Sole is breaking from upper after light use. I have had them under 4 months.

Sole detached after only 2 months of wearing and is irreparable.

These shoes fell apart within a month!!!! The bottoms are coming off BOTH shoes. The last pair I owned lasted for nearly 5 years..

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.

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.
