Customer Reviews Sperry AO 2 Eye Leather MM

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!

Sperry docksider, not what they where just a few short years ago....now they have been cheapened, in the materials and workmanship. I will never buy again online...the interior was cheapened the most, within a few weeks the sole on the inside had flacked away, reveling The EVA pad inside the shoe.....first time that ever happened!,,,,no thanks, never again !,,

Sperry seems to be cutting corners as the inside padding stops 2/3 of the way in to the shoe and is uncomfortable around the toes where there is less padding.

this is the second time I am requesting a 3xxx width,and again I was sent an extra wide ! not happy so far with Zappos !

I have bought many pairs of these shoes over the years. I like the style, and I like the comfort. However, I am now on my THIRD pair in a row that have developed a squeak when I walk. It sounds like I am stepping on a got dam squeaky toy every time I take a step. All three pair have developed the same problem where the leather underneath the ball of my foot seems to separate from the rest of the sole and turn into a miniature whoopee cushion. The first two developed the problem after getting soaked with water--so I figured it was my fault--but the current pair has never been wet! I like these shoes, but for $95 I expect them to be better quality. So disappointing!

I don't understand why you can't get sizes right. I find it very stressful to order shoes that aren't even close. This is unexceptable. Please let me know you care enough to do it right.

Love the shoes. However, after only wearing them for three months, the insoles are coming out. If they would stay in place I'd give them 5 stars

I've been wearing Sperry Top-Siders for over 30 years. Once broke in, they are the most comfortable shoe I own. You will rarely see me in anything except Top-Siders. However, it seems Sperry has made some changes in design, or Sperry's new manufacturer is cutting corners. I just got my new Top-Siders and am very disappointed. Right out of the box, the leather in the foot beds started rolling up when removing my foot. A little Shoe Goo and that problem was resolved. Then I noticed the shoes felt uncomfortably tight. Took some measurements of my new Top-Siders and compared with my old. Sperry has narrowed the width of the shoe by one-quarter inch as measured at the sole. The length of the shoe heel-to-toe measured at the sole is three-eights of an inch shorter. Why did they do this? Has there been some kind of international shoe size change in the past few years that dictates that a 10M be shorter and narrower? Or is the manufacturer cutting corners? My old pair of Top-Siders were manufactured in China. My new pair were manufactured in the Dominican Republic. I have no choice. I will have to return the shoes. I have no idea what I'm going to replace them width. If I stick with Sperry's, I guess I'll have to go to a regular store with a ruler and start measuring. This review is based on problems with the shoe only and not on the service provided by Zappos which is always top notch.

Pretty terrible shoe. I will be looking to return these if I can. They are made of cheap un-flexing leather that will are not like any other pairs of Sperrys I have had. Do not buy these.

The insider lining is already curling up--within a week of receiving the shoes. We will order another pair as Sperry as been good in the past, but this pair needs to be trustworthy.

These shoes keep squeaking. It sounds like there's a tiny hole somewhere in the right shoe that's pushing/pulling air through on every step to give off a very small whistle that sounds like a mouse squeak. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where and why the sound is coming from, and it has not gone away after a couple months of wear. They're sadly no longer in condition for a return, as you can see some leather stretch lines plus they'd need a really good cleaning to look new. Also worth noting, the leather stitching back around the heel on my shoes don't look nearly as aligned as they do in the image, but that alone wasn't worth me returning for. Very disappointed, because they otherwise look and feel great.
