Customer Reviews Sperry AO 2 Eye Leather MM

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

Somewhere along the way y'all forgot that these shoes are not worn with socks. Hence you have used a last that is sock oriented in what you call Medium width. It fit really slopily. I own two other pairs which don't have this problem. I am really disappointed that someone has changed the last for Medium. I have been a topsider customer for near about 40 years and this is the second time that the shoe did not meet my size criteria. I hope you can tighten up the Medium last in the future.

Ordered a couple of sizes in the wide width and both were still too narrow by the toes. Had to return both pairs.
