This shoe is extremely comfortable and fits well. However, the dye on the inside of the shoe gets all over one's socks (or feet, if barefooted). The dye was totally over the socks on first wearing. This happened even tho the shoes were totally dry. I cannot imagine how stained socks would be if caught walking in the rain! Will not wear them again until i can be sure the coloring (black) will run onto the socks.

I've been wearing top-siders for 35 years and the quality has always been consistently superior., The shoes I recently purchased (when compared to my last purchase which I still have) have less leather top material and are less sturdy. I assume there has been a change in your quality standards.

Cannot order Ameretto color in 9 extra wide. While the style and fit is fine, I would much prefer being able to get the shoe in Ameretto.

I was very disappointed in the quality of the pair I received. The leather was separating on one toe, there was a rubber cement type glue coming out of the side of the tongue on the other shoe, the left upper appearted to be sewn on crooked which placed the eyelet directly on my arch bone, it not only looked odd but was painful. I returned the shoes.

Great shoe, stylish and comfortable. Unfortunately part of the sole came off during the first couple of days of use... I can't return them because the have been worn for a couple of days and I've been left with a pair of shoes which I cannot wear and cannot fix.

This shoe is no where near a EE width. Sizing is very confusing. There should be a W and an EE. The shoe received is way too narrow and nothing like other EE's that I own.

Everyone on here is giving these shoes a great review, so I just wanted to put my $0.02 in to my experience with using these shoes on a regular basis. Everything seemed to be all fine and dandy at first, seemed like a spiffy good shoe that would catch some attention. Well, in the current picture that's listed on Zappos, it shows them not needing to be tied, but the pair I received had to be tied which would come loose all of the time. Here's the actual critical part...after a few months of use, these shoes started to feel horrible on my feet. No support at all, it almost felt better to go bear-foot instead of wearing these shoes. I found myself taking them off any chance that I could get. Eventually couldn't take it anymore and got a new pair of shoes and haven't looked back since. Maybe there is a better pair of Sperry's out there, but I'm not interested.

I bought and wore these for about five years and have now sworn them off for good. Over the years there was a noticeable decline in quality and with that lifespan while the price continued to increase. I refuse to continue supporting a company that is continuing to put the screws to their customers.

They are still super comfortable but using them on glass decking of boats they are done in no time. They are not what they used to be.

I bought them a few days ago, as soon as i wore them, the insoles started to peel.. Not the usual Sperry quality i expected. Perfect look and fit, but the quality sucks. Hopefully new insoles will fit them. Please fix this, i wasted 80 dollars. I love the brand, just the quality sucks.

I'm a long time Sperry customer and this is the first pair that I've purchased that left me disappointed. I bought these shoes in March of '12 and the sole on the right shoe has deteriorated to the point it emits a clown-like squeaking noise with each step I take. Outside of the embarrassingly loud circus noise, the shoes look great and are fairly comfortable. If you're fine with paying $80 for a shoe that makes you sound like Bozo, then you should purchase these.

The shoes look very nice, but I have gone through two pairs of these shoes only to return them within a month because the soles of the shoes fell out. I have been told this was a defect, but two of the same defect in a row makes me unsure.

I've owned these shoes less than one season. Recently, unbeknownst to me, the eyelets started to remove themselves from the shoes, but were still held in place by the shoelace. The sharp edges on the eyelets proceeded to cut my leg multiple times as I walked with them. It took me some time to figure out how my lower leg kept getting cut(who would suspect their own shoe?). Now I have to trash a perfectly good pair of shoes because of this shoddy defect. It's a shame, because other than this problem, these shoes look great and are very comfortable.

Appalled Sperry doesn't pay for returns, makes me responsible for tracking/shipping, and makes me wait for "one to two" billing cycles for credit. Buy at retail outlets only.

I have worn Sperry shoes for 20 years and I continue to seek the same style and quality to which I grew accustomed. Sperry started to cheapen up their shoes about 5 years ago.
I sent these shoes back because the inside is not finished and the sole liner is now a cheap thin material. Suede leather interior does not work well for shoes designed to be worn without socks. Those that have worn Sperry shoes for many years will know exactly what I'm talking about.
Nothing is better than a pair of Top-Siders that are broken in well. I have a pair of the new version of these shoes and I just cant break them in like earlier versions.
Sperry . . . Are you listening?

Unfortunately the 3E was not wide enough. Shame because it was a nice shoe and my husband had hopes for it.

I bought the same size as the originals which finally wore out. The quality is no where near the same, and the fit is not the same, although I purchased the same size.
Had to return them, since they didn't fit, and don't look very good.

I've been wearing A/Os for years and have loved them. Decided to purchase another pair to add to my collection, and after only a month of wearing them they are falling apart. On both shoes the leather lining on the sole wasn't glued right and is falling off. On the right shoe the sole has come out completely. On the left shoe the rivet for the laces has popped out. This is all after wearing them for 20 or so days. I'm hoping i just got a defective pair, but when I contacted Sperry Top-Sider they offered no support. Disappointing.

I have worn Sperry Topsiders AO for years now. When I ordered a replacement pair, the XW width on the new pair was markedly narrower than the old pair. I held them sole-to-sole for comparison. I am disappointed that Sperry would change the width, but not the width designation. the advertising leads one to believe that AO means Authentic and Original. This is not true.

I want to love these boaters - but truth be told they are less than impressive. They look kind of cool - and they are very light - but at the first sign of moisture (I'm talking rain-water not foot sweat) they wither and die. I wore these bad boys the day I got them. It wasn't raining but the ground was damp. They dried super discolored with all kinds of white spots from top to bottom. I'd take a pass on these and buy the Grey Suede ones instead.

I have been only wearing these shoes for the last 4 years. Think I've had like 6 pairs so far and they all have been wonderful except this last pair I bought here.
The back part of the leather insole meets the front part of the insole in the middle of the shoe (not sure why not one piece)... Anyway, where the back part meets the front section there's a large bump on the right shoe. The bump is in both the left and right except the right shoe has a large annoying bump. I'm just going to try and get used to it but am disappointed this annoyance.
Otherwise great shoes and I expect I'll be wearing the classic brown for many many years to come... We sail and I love how I can get them wet and how fast they dry (even in cold weather)... I don't wear socks either and these fine shoes are nice and aerated keeping them stink free.

I just returned shoes listed as 9 1/2 W that were a full 1/4 inch narrower than previous pair purchased 5 years ago marked as the exact same style, size and width (measured on the widest part of the sole, not the top). This makes the shoe too narrow. My previous pair fits great - very comfortable. So, what happened? Did sizing standards change in the last five years, or are these shoes now being made around the world and there are no standard sizes, like a lot of other clothing these days? I guess I have to go with a wider shoe, but guess what? Sperry doesn't make this style in a wider size. Looks like another company is going to get my shopping dollars. Sorry, Sperry. It was so good for so long, now it's over.
