Customer Reviews Sperry Authentic Original

Bought these Sperry's in July. Didn't wear them until my vacation last week as I wanted a nice boat shoe for our cruise trip. Within the second day of wearing them, the soles ripped from the stitching from both shoes. It's definitely disappointing to see the quality of these shoes going down. I have another pair purchased 4 years ago that are still in great shape, but the new pair I ordered lacks the same quality & ripped within a day of use.

My high school freshman has been wearing these to school for less than a month and the front right sole has detached from the shoe and ripped significantly. This never happened with previous boat shoes.

The sole fell off within 2 weeks of purchase. Normal wear.

I bought these shoes for my son, a senior in high school, to wear to school with his uniform. I give these details to emphasize that he is not a 10 year old running around at recess pitting stress on these shoes. That said, the sole of the shoe fell apart in 2 less than weeks of school. I'm absolutely disgusted with these shoes, which were expensive and used to have a quality reputation.

Front of shoe fell off after one use. Back of shoe almost fell off

I purchased these for my son to wear to school. He's been wearing them for 4 weeks and the soles are already ripping away from the shoe in the front. So disappointing given the cost of them.

Unfortunately we did not have a great experience with this shoe! Second day of wear, the front part of the sole caught on a step and the entire front half of the sole ripped / broke off. My son had to wear the shoes to school with only half of the sole on! Disappointed in the quality here. I've been wearing shoes for a long time, and I've never had them "break" on the second day of wear.

I bought these 3 months ago and the front of has already come apart from the upper. They used to last forever, now 3 months. Garbage !

Picture is misleading! It makes you think it has cross lacing but it doesn't!

Had a dream pair worn every warm day for years. Unbelievable quality and craftsmanship. I wore the new pair less than 2 dozen times and they fall apart. Very dissatisfied and disappointed.

Horrible Quality - Soles split along seam at toe while stitching remains intact. Sadly, the quality of these shoes has dropped to rock bottom. My wife bought me a pair for Christmas. In the spring, I wore them out to one evening of dancing. The tip of the sole at the toe split an inch or more on each side, along the stitching. The stitches remained intact. A month ago, my wife replaced them with the same model. One 2-mile walk along Mission Boulevard in Pacific Beach - the same thing. I've had Sperry's for years without a problem, each pair lasting 5 - 7 years. Looks like the quality of the sole material has been drastically downgraded to save money. Bad move folks - you lost a customer.

The sole is already separated from the shoe at the toe area on one shoe. Have had the shoes for about two week.

Unfortunately shoes fell apart after only having them a week

I don't usually write negative reviews but these shoes were so disappointing that I wanted to warn others. Like everything else, they aren't made like they used to be. I had Sperrys in the past that I wore for 10 summers. I bought this recent pair in June 2023 and they were trashed by August 2023 and I ONLY wore them on weekends! No surprise, they wouldn't let me post pictures of the shredded front sole in this review.

Shoe ok just didn't fit ordered in bigger wider size

Horrible quality, not what the used to be. The sole cracked/ripped on the 4th wear. I'll be looking at different brands next.

Sole on the left shoe started peeling from the front after 1 day

I bought two pair and the right shoe in each pair broke in the exact same place. The sole at the front near the toes broke on the right shoe. When it happened to the 1st pair, I thought bad luck. When it happened to the 2nd pair, I thought bad quality control.

My shoe bottom started coming off within a coupke of days of me wearing it

Stitching tore through rubber sole less than a month after purchase.

The sole separated at the toe the third time I wore these. This happened to the last pair I bought as well but at least that pair lasted a few months. The quality is not what it used to be. In the past, my Sperry's would last for years. I'm very disappointed and don't know where else to look for a quality boat shoe.

This is the second pair of Sperry Boat shoes where the sole broke at the toe of the shoe. The second pair is only 6 weeks old. I'm disappointed.
