Customer Reviews Sperry Authentic Original

got the wrong size sent to me. Zappos said UPS would pick them up, they did not. NEVER buy from Zappos

Great product wish they fit

first I ordered a size 10 (my size). Shoes were too big. Then I ordered a size 9.5. Shoe were too small. I really wanted a pair of these shoes.

great shoes, however came and were two different colors! it looked like one shoe had been turned and then polished and shipped to us - very disappointing!

The shoes were scratched up and definitely seem to have been used. I am very dissatisfied, since I bought them as a gift and will need to return them.

These boat shoes are no where near the quality they were in the 1970s. They look and feel very soft and cheap, not much more robust than gift shop mocasins. Leather (?) and stitching is quite thin. They look old and worn very quickly. Sizing is terrible... you have to go half to full size up in length and in width. Sole fit to shoe is sloppy with too much sole sticking out in front. You might get a year out of them, I imagine much less if you actually used them when sailing boats, then uppers and stitching is trashed. Back in the US-made era, these lasted for years and long enough for some people to even have them re-soled! Availability is terrible... regardless of seller, many sizes and widths seem always Sold Out. Outsourcing and penny-pinching by Sperry (and also Sebago) have RUINED the boat shoe brand. So sad. I would still buy a pair for casual use MAYBE for $30 to $40. But $90+ is robbery for such poor quality cheap shoes. I am extremely skeptical of all the 5 star reviews. You should be too.

These shoes fell apart after six months the rivets popped out. Very disappointed in quality. I have one this brand since I was a teenager and never had quality issues. Maybe I just got a bad batch of shoes. I will probably buy again.

Quite comfortable at first, but after a year and a half of moderate wear, the soles have transformed into hard, crumbly rubber. They are so slick that I nearly slipped and fell on a dry wooden surface. Wood! These shoes are now completely worthless. This is totally unacceptable. I am pursuing the issue with Sperry, but needless to say, I'll never purchase a pair of their shoes again. If you need boat shoes, spend $25 more and get Allen Edmonds. They use better leather, and their rubber will not turn into deathly slick plastic junk after a year and a half.

Love the shoes and love shopping at Zappos!
