Customer Reviews Sperry Authentic Original

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!

Every time I buy a pair they are worse than the last pair. I've been wearing these for 40 years. This is my last pair.

Nice shoes- good quality, but too narrow to be comfortable

I've had this exact pair of good-looking Sperrys for over 10 year. Recent, I've had to replace my trusty old pair after they finally fell apart years later. As much as I've enjoyed the design and comfort of my boat shoes, this latest pair has me thinking twice about wearing my Sperrys. Buying exact same size I've had for years, the fit of these shoes is off - the heel side of the shoe doesn't hug my foot while the front is often too tight (and the only thing keeping the shoe on my foot). This problem is particularly worse with my right shoe as well. This unfortunately leaves my feet sometimes feeling weirdly sore at the end of a day of walking as certain parts of my foot have to overcompensate in order to keep the shoe semi-snug on my foot. A little disappointed because I've loved my boat shoes.

Nice looking shoe and comfortable to wear. Only problem is the dye or stain used to create the color is not very durable. Just walking or wearing creases the leather and leaves crease marks. Same where your toes push out at the front of the shoes. Evan pitting them in a suitcase and they touched other items caused a discoloration.

Bought these 3 months ago and have only worn them maybe 4 times to church only at this time. The sole has started to pull away from the front of the shoe. This did not happen with 2 previous pairs that lasted for years. Am still wearing a pair that is many years old and other than looking beat up are doing well. Was happy to see that Sperry brought back the Ice color this year. Since I like the Ice color for summer, I will try to get these replaced. I have seen on the Sperry web site that this issue has been experienced by several others. I will try to get these replaced by Sperry. I am hoping they will stand behind their typically excellent product(s). Other than the issue with the sole pulling off the shoe, these appear to be like my 2 other pair. Sorry that I am not able to provide a photo of the issue I am having, don't have the shoes with me currently.

Comfortable shoes, but only after I inserted extra cushion inserts. I was getting calluses at the back of my feet, so I had to purchase the inserts. The shoe laces also keep coming undone.

I have always purchased the same size Sperry. This time they appear to be shorter and narrower than before. I was out of town when the package arrived so now it is too late to return. I compared the soles to my old sperry of same size and these are decidedly smaller and narrower. The quality is good but they are too short and too narrow for my feet. I have no idea what size to try.

I had to add insoles because the arch was almost non-existent, the shoes look fine and fit otherwise.

Because these shoes are usually worn without socks, please flex the leather on the inside and uppers. I'm getting sores from stiff spots that hurt my feet.

I have been wearing sperry size 10 for 25+ years. It seems that sperry's sizing has changed. Two new pairs of sperrys size 10 were way too tight. One pair was a gift that I had to toss and the second I ordered and had to exchange for 10W. Still the fit is not great. Going to have to look at different brands after all these years.

I've worn Boat Shoes since the mid-1960's. Bought my 1st pair in Nantucket and have never been happier with the fit, and the durability.

The style is ss rxpected however I find the shoes leather to be very stiff which affects its comfort. The shoe seems to be quite narrow for a "wide" fit.

These have always been great shoes, but this time the right foot shoe came apart at the toe within just a couple of weeks.

Within a couple weeks the threading that binds the sole to the shoe started coming undone. The sole is falling apart from the main sole and the outer sole. Overall the craftsmanship and material quality has gone substantially downhill. Complete waste of money.

Years ago, I bought a pair of size 11W Docksiders from an outlet and wore the soles off. I missed them, so I ordered another pair. Unfortunately, wide then is not wide now. I cannot wear them with socks as recommended to break them in. I have also been using leather conditioner to soften and stretch the leather. Had I known, I would have ordered extra wide.

Purchased 2/11/23, wore approx. 6 times and toe fell off.

Not the same Sperry i grew up with. Feels like cheaper leather than other models

The permanent cross ties on my new Sperry boat sho did no fit over my instep. Had to have a shoe maker convert to the old design. Needed to get a bigger size

Love the shoes but the inside sole has started coming off after only a few weeks.
