Customer Reviews Sperry AO 2 Eye Leather MM

My shoe size is 9.5 EEE. I have an older pair of Sperry Boat shoes sized at 9.5 W which I love and are soooo comfy. The pair I just purchased are sized 9.5 EW and are uncomfortably tight. Total disappointment!

Upon receiving the Sperry Top Siders we noticed that around the toe area the stitching and the seams were poorly constructed. My husband has been wearing this shoes for over 30 years and this was the first time we had a problem. They are being returned for an exchange. Hopefully the new pair is better made.

These are fine shoes, but not sure how they can justify using the terms 'authentic' and 'original'. I doubt the original shoe had a plastic foam inner sole. My old pair had a nice leather inner sole that wore and aged nicely to my foot. Don't see the foam lasting as long and wearing in as nicely. Use of terms 'authentic' and 'original' is totally bogus! and tell me some of those colors were used way back. The words have no meaning here.

I like the way the shoes look and feel. They are comfortable. I have planter fatuitous and I normally need more support and cushion than these shoes offer. I can wear them for supper or casual get togetherings, but can not wear them if I am planning on a evening that will require a lot of walking.

I had them for less than a month trying to keep them in great condition AND THE stitching came apart great look BAD QUALITY

I have been buying Sperry boat shoes for many years (20+). They had always had amazing durability and comfort. The last two pairs I purchased showed a marked drop in build quality. The rivets popped out from sides on both pairs and the soles separated from the shoes on both pairs in under a year. These just aren't products I can recommend anymore.

I was a liitle upset I went in a store and saw the same shoe for less money

These shoes are supplied to Zappos by Sperry and are made in China and Dominican Republic. The ones from China were made better. The fit was better and more uniform for length and width and the length of the tongue covered more of the laces and gave a better feeling where the laces cross the instep. The DR left show felt a bit narrow; the right shoe fit OK. The tongue was short on both shoes and barely covered the laces area. The China shoes I bought from Zappos a couple of year ago fit well in all respects. I note that Zappos does not make the shoes; they are from Sperry, so the root cause is supplier quality control. I tried to exchange the first delivery of DR shoes for China shoes, but Zappos sent me another pair of not so good DR shoes (the ones I described above). The customer rep said their warehouse is automated and that they could not pick a specific pair of shoes from China. Kinda lame answer, Zappos. Get a human in the ware house to go get the shoes that a customer requests when they tell you its important to them! A brick and mortar shoe store could do that and so should you. Otherwise, I like Zappos. Their customer service reps were polite and tried to fix the order to get China made shoes, but was unable to get the warehouse to fulfill the order as requested.

Two things that caused me to rate this a 3 and not higher: (a) thought that the shoe should have more support built into the shoe than it does: (b) wore the shoe with a pair of socks when I first received the shoes and they were completely stained with the amaretto color - nice color by the way - when I took them off that evening; wouldn't have thought this would happen, haven't worn them again with socks, and not sure how to treat the shoes now to stop the problem.

I have been a long time lover of Sperry's however I bought a pair a few months ago and after only a month or two of normal wear the leather inside the shoes ripped open at the heel. The leather has been increasingly been getting ripped open and increasingly uncomfortable until I no longer could wear the shoes anymore. They did look good and I liked the style but the quality was not what I expect from Sperry
