Customer Reviews Sperry AO 2 Eye Leather MM

The classic American boat shoe unfortunately ain't all it's cracked up to be. I love boat shoes but this is more like a slipper or moccasin than a shoe to wear outside. After a short time the sole wears out leaving the shoe with zero arch support and gives me terrible back pains. I also had the exact same problem as another reviewer that the left sole of my "oatmeal" colored Sperrys cracked and I had to slip a quarter under the insole to make them the same height. Could be coincidence, I don't know, but either way Sperry uses some very cheap materials. If you want a boat shoe you can walk around all day in with comfort without the back pain of Sperrys, look at Sebagos. They take a crazy long time to break in but they last 10 times longer than Sperrys and stay looking great. If you're looking for a stylish house slipper that will mold to the exact shape of your foot then Sperrys might be for you.

These are super nice boat shoes. Great quality and feel, the only thing is that there is no support on your feet so you feel everything you walk over, but besides that small detail it's great!

You cannot go wrong with these shoes between the months of May and September. Classic preppie look can be pulled off with jeans, chinos, shorts, or even a wet bathing suit. No socks? No problem, homie. Skip 'em with the top siders. They break in to be the among the most comfortable shoes I own - the leather so very supple and soft. One problem is that they will probably end up smelling funky, especially with my sweaty feet. I will probably get a new pair once summer rolls around - maybe even two (one for keeping nice for dates with my lady, and another for drinking beer on the porch). Felt a bit roomy at true to size, but didn't really matter much.

Nice shoes. Can be a bit stiff but they may just take a bit longer to break in. Not great with traction or wet days. But overall very durable and good looking.

The shoe is a mainstay of mine when on a boat and I now use this pair for USCG-AUX boat patrols. Meets all of my requirements, but could be a little better in the arch department.

I'm happy with the shoe. We get a lot of snow and ice where I live, and this shoe isn't great on either. The snow (and salt) has stained the shoe. I highly recommend treating it before wearing. And the soles are extremely slippery on slick/icy sidewalks. All-in-all though, I like the Sperrys. It's definitely more of a stylish shoe than a utility shoe.

The size seems to be about half a size smaller than the manufacturer claims. I wear a size 12 in every other shoe so I ordered a 12 and it was too small, but the size 13 is too big. Wish they made half sizes after size 12. The service from Zappos was great! I have ordered from them before and will continue to do so. It is so mucH easier than going to the mall.

Classic shoe, looks and fits equally as classic. Very much "what you see is what you get".

These shoes are great. I bought them 2 weeks ago, and I'm still breaking them in - but they are comfortable and the color is great. The lighter leather weathers well, and I like the darker sole (rather than the traditional white sole for a boat shoe). If you are looking for a fashionable, casual, comfortable shoe, this is it.

These shoes aren't very comfortable at first while the leather is still new, but once you break them in they mold onto your foot. I do think they are a bit overpriced but nevertheless a decent shoe. I found these to be true to size in length; however, in width your mileage can vary. I found them to be on the narrow side albeit I did purchase the small width, mostly due to my heel being very narrow. I wanted to avoid that wretched heel slip at all costs. Overall a decent shoe that matches with almost anything. Jeans, chinos, shorts, shirts etc. You can use these for almost any occasion. With that said, I have a few tips for you if you are going to buy a pair. 1: If you have a narrow heel, try going for a smaller width to avoid heel slipping. Heel slipping can cause some very awful blisters on the back of your foot (If Worn Without Socks). These shoes stretch like you wouldn't believe and breaking them in requires very little wear. 2: These run true to size. I am a 9 1/2 and that's the exact number I got, and it fit perfectly (sockless). You may want to consider how you're going to wear them, sockless or with socks. If the latter, perhaps buy a half size bigger. Depending on the thickness of the socks of course. 3: If you have a wide foot, I'd suggest you buy the widest size possible as these tend to run on the narrow side.

I ordered this Sperry Top-Sider in size 10.5 width 3E. Sperry marks them as XW (Extra Wide). I don't think that equates to a true 3E. They were too narrow, so I had to return them. They didn't offer anything wider.

I find the shoe most comfortable by adding a Dr. Scholl’s insert to give a bit more heel support. Other than that it's what one expects from Top-Siders.

I love these shoes. They go with just about anything summer-y, within reason of course. The shoes did take some breaking-in though. They were incredibly stiff and uncomfortable for about 2 weeks, but after wearing them for a couple hours a day they now fit like a glove.

I really like the style, but be careful with the sizing. I have a pair of Timberland boat shoes that I've owned for a few years, and though the two pairs were labeled with the exact same sizing (Men's 9.5 E), the Sperry shoes were about 1/2" longer, and didn't end up fitting me. Oh well, guess I'll just have to order a smaller size!

Fortunately I had tried these on prior to ordering and found they ran large. I usually wear a 10 and the 9.5 in these fit well.

The Sperry Top-Sider in this color comes in the wide width that I need. Zappos had it in stock and I think I had it within 48 hours. This is the most comfortable "boat" shoe I have found over the years and very walkable.

A bit slippery on land, wet rocks, and pavement, but good on board.

Nice shoe for the price. Fast shipping. A little narrower in the toe than my other Top-Siders, so made it feel (when new) a little tight and short compared to my others.

Pretty much exactly as expected. Classic look, good quality, and they’ll get better with age. Downside is lack of support, again as expected. Wear them as a casual dress shoe so it’s not much of an issue. Also least expensive of the boat shoe brands, which baffles me since they defined the category.

I ordered a pair of Sperry Top-Sider Authentic Originals and they were delivered to my door in less than 24 hours with standard shipping! Great service Zappos! Shoes are good but could offer more arch support.

Great shoe, but the color is much lighter than shown in picture. Almost looks like a moccasin.

Great shoe, Normally do not wear shoes with out Peds or socks but did so with these and found them very comfortable. Would not take a hiking trip with them but for general walking and to be stylish, a great shoe

This is your typical Sperry Top-sider in a honey brown, which is lighter than the usual Top-sider brown. The quality is consistent with other Sperry shoes that I have purchased in the past.

I have a wide foot. I ordered 3X width. Shoes were tight when I first put them on. They are still a little tight after wearing them for two weeks. Hopefully they will break in. Other shoes like this that come in a larger width are considerably more expensive.
