Put the shoe marked "L" on your left foot. As well, put the shoe marked "R" on your right foot. It works better this way, and holds down any related embarrassment issues. Plus if you get it wrong you will, literally, walk in tight circles until you realize the issue. That said, these are nice shoes.

Great shoe, but definitely wear with liners. The interior of the shoe will tear your feet up without liners, giving you blisters and a bunch of other horrible things. Wear with liners, everything is perfect.

Since I ordered and received my shoes, I have received (almost daily) discounts--why not offer those at the beginning. I feel that i over paid by ordering at full price.

The shoes are very comfortable but it's impossible to keep them tied there must be a way to do this

The shoes are great but I ordered an extra wide and not only were they wide in the front of the shoe they wear very wide in the back of the shoe. But that might fit someone else just right.

This is my third pair of these. They are good all-around loafers. I do wish the laces were easy to replace.

The wide shoes were too narrow. If you have wide feet, then you should purchase the extra-wide.

The insoles of both pairs of shoes detached within a week and I had to glue them back. Also, the PLUSHWAVE was much wider than others I had purchased before.

Great shoe. Been wearing it for 50 years. Wish they hadn't added the insole but what can you do.

I like this shoe. As with all other Sperry items, quality is top notch. No complaints there at all. Only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the width. I have a short, very wide foot. Even with a 4E this one is still a bit tight. This will eventually cause an 'over-run' of the sole on the forward, outside section of the side wall. The true 4X wide shoes are getting harder and harder to find.

I've had a pair of the Top Siders for probably 20 years and they are great shoes and I still wear them. I recently bought 2 more pair to use as "business casual" shoes and am disappointed in the shoe laces on the new shoes. My older pair has actual cotton laces that stay tied where as the new shoes strips of leather as laces that constantly seem to untie. I want to replace the laces on the new shoes but am not sure how I'd get the lace thru the main part of the shoe. I'll figure a way.

comfortable, well-fitting and good looking shoe.
Might like a finer/thinner leather lace.

I've owned countless pairs of this boat shoe over the years and been pleased with them. The one knock I have with this latest pair is how quickly the insole came loose. In the past it took a year or more for them to become unglued and need repair, but it happened within the first month with this latest pair. Perhaps they changed the glue they use. I used some super glue and stuck them back in, and they've stayed put ever since. Overall, it's hard to beat Topsiders for a classic looking and comfortable boat shoe.

I have been purchasing these shoes for many years. Love them. Very comfortable and they last reasonably well. I did notice that this new pair has a different type of leather that is more stiff and seems to be of a reduced quality.

Excellent buy of a quality boat shoe in a hard to find WideWidth. Sherry boat shoes in Medium Width are routinely more narrow than a standard American medium width measurement on a loafer, i.e., non-boat shoe.

As ordered and expected . This is my 4th pair, have been wearing these Authentic's from Sperry for decades. This pair seemed a little more snug than in the past, but then again my foot has probably gotten wider in the last 40 years!

Seems to be a well made shoe, but it's the narrowest "11W" that I've ever tried to squeeze my foot into. I had to return it.
