Customer Reviews Sperry AO 2 Eye Leather MM

These shoes need no introduction; a top-sider is a top-sider. The Navy/White color way works with nearly everything and, in my opinion, is the most versatile and aesthetically pleasing version. Wear them up or down; I've rarely had a problem with them looking anything less than stellar. However, there is an initial break-in period that can be pretty painful. (Don't wear them again until your blisters heal!) The break-in period took me about 2-3 weeks. After that, the shoes are significantly more comfortable and painless. They are not running sneakers or athletic shoes, so the arch support isn't particularly large. Overall, I highly recommend them, specifically the navy/white color way. You will be getting compliments left and right while avoiding the style of boat shoe everyone else wears. If you're okay with the break-in period and understand that this is a shoe not to be worn with socks (ever!), then go for it.

The Sperry Top-Sider is an authentic piece of American footwear that unfortunately, until recently, had been lost to the prepsters. Now however it is common place to see these on folks from walks of life and various styles. I choose the original colorway and do not regret it one bit. Quality has gone down in recent years, but nonetheless one of the best boat shoes on the market and fit true to size.

This shoe runs pretty true to size, so I d be wary ordering a half size smaller. They don't stretch that much. I wear a 10, and ordered a 9.5, and they were too small. Also, some of the stitching is pulling out around the leather upper already. I've had them for two months, so that's a little disappointing. Overall though, I love the shoe, and will be ordering another color soon. Very comfortable, and very versatile (and grip very well on the boat decks). And what can be said about Zappos customer service? Shopping with them is by far the best internet shopping experience I have ever had which is why I come back time and time again.

Firstly, my shopping experience was top-notch; future purchases will be made from Zappos. I initially bought these shoes in Sahara and they were much lighter in color than they appeared on the web. I switched them for the Amaretto style in order to get a color that is more traditionally brown. I also ended up getting them a 1/2 size smaller than my normal sneaker size; if you're wearing them w/o socks I would recommend this. Free shipping both ways - so it was no problem; my new order came next day! They're not broken in yet but are already comfortable. I thought I may end up with a blister or two before they feel ok, but right out of the box they feel great.

Not what they used to be. The stitching at the front of the sole comes away/decays and leaves the front unattached from the leather shoe. I've worn Sperry Top Siders for years and the last two pairs have both done this. What has changed?

I had a pair in the 90s and lasted 10 years. My son bought me a pair in the summer and the sole split on the side. Very disappointed they are not inexpensive shoes.

My first pair i got in the 90s and lasted 10 years. My son bought me a pair last summer and the sole has split down the side. Very disappointed they are not inexpensive shoes. I would attach pic but that option is not working for me.

Guys, how so. You're the hallmark, the best of the best for this style and I discover that the sole is no longer a whole piece,but a spit of cork around the heal. Where's the sole? It's no longer as well cushioned as it used to be

Classic, but questionable quality. The front of the sole has literally ripped off of the past 2 pairs of my son's Sherry boat shoes!
