Customer Reviews Sperry AO 2 Eye Leather MM

I have been purchasing the same pair of Sperry top siders since 2003. Something has changed in the construction. The fit is not quite right in the toe box. Another reviewer noticed the new uppers in the darker color are being manufactured in Indonesia - Well I ordered the Sahara color and these were made in Indonesia. Ill be returning them - its sad.

I ordered a size 10 1/2 M and a 10 W both were #0195115 on their individual boxes The 10 1/5 M arrived in the box design that is used today. As you will see in this return the 10W arrived in an old style box. The glue holding the ends of the box together had dried out. The soles of these shoes had also aged from the expected white to an orange tone. Even if they had fit perfectly I would be returning them.

Shoes fit and look great but one problem-the lace snapped in half right in my hands when I tied them for the first time. Zappos customer service was extremely gracious and helpful with the issue, but I would be wary buying Sperrys with this style of laces.

I've bought many pairs of this classic American-style shoe. All were comfortable and rugged. Except for the last pair. The padded sole inside the shoe had an annoying squeak that just won't stop. Air in the foam-like sole padding escapes which each step producing a loud and irritating squeak.

This is my fifth pair of Sperry's Authentic Original boat shoes. I like the comfortable fit as well as the classic style. I wore the past four pairs until they wore out, and I have no complaints. That's why I keep buying the same style shoe. This pair of Sperrys has a problem. They squeak. It seems to be air escaping from an opening in the stitching in the right shoe. It is quite loud, and it is very annoying. It sounds like the squealing noise made when the opening of an air-filled balloon is pinched, and the air is allowed to exit very slowly. I continued to wear the shoes in hopes that the squeak would disappear. It hasn't. In fact, the left shoe developed a squeak too. This pair of shoes is likely too worn to allow a return, and I've had them for over a year. Is there any hope I can swap-out this pair of squeaky shoes?

The last pair I bought was cut narrower through the toe box. This pair was not very comfortable at all. I wonder if they changed where they're manufactured.

They were overhyped for me. Sizes run a bit big. I thought they were supposed to be more comfortable but when it's hot, it sticks to your feet. They look pretty cool though.

Beautiful shoe but clearly runs SMALL. My husband could not even slip it on.

I wore out my first pair of this shoe and ordered the same size and the same model after first contacting Sperry to make sure I had both the proper model and size. Oops! The shoes felt a little tight at first, but thought I could stretch the shoe after wearing it. Unfortunately, after a week or so, it's still a tight fit. I suggest a half size bigger.

The problem is, of course, that these wear like steel so you only need a new pair every five years. The pair that I just ordered are a much harder and stiffer leather than the ones I bought ages ago. The old ones were soft, like glove leather, never a worry about rubs or blisters. That is what always set Sperry apart from Sebago. Unfortunately that is no longer the case. They still seem to be well made and classically styled, but they are no longer the soft wonderful shoes they used to be.

The shoes look very nice but in terms of comfort they are probably the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn. They work great on the sailboat (duh) but I wouldn't recommend for comfort/walking long distances. The leather also prevents smell bc you can't wear socks with them, a plus for someone who lives at the lake.

A good shoe. Very Sperry. I ended up choosing a less expensive version from Docker, but this was a good option. I wouldn't go with this color, however, because its just going to stain. Looks more yellow in real life than the picture.
