Customer Reviews Sperry AO 2 Eye Leather MM

owned for more than two years but worn very infrequently [tan/tan soles] leather stiff and not good quality- conditioning would not help one rawhide lace was thin and stringy sipes stiff and slippery- would not grip a wet deck soles actually rotted out!

Just purchased a new pair 3 weeks ago. Have worn them 4 times. The inner sole on both feet has peeled back and the rubber lining is disintegrating; it's crumbling to bits. Very disappointing. Our family has been wearing Sperrys for years and have never had this issue. Looked on the box, made in China......

Yes, the shoes are comfortable and stylish. Yes, I have been buying them for years. I always get tons of positive comments when I wear my Sperry's. However, recently the quality is extremely poor. First, the soles go bad after one year and they become hard and slippery. Secondly, the innersoles always peel back...clearly a design or build problem; it seems like the glue being used is just not effective. To date, I have mailed back about four pairs - all for the same issues. I suggest you hold on to your money until the quality issues are resolved.

I purchased these shoes last April (2012). I used them for the months of May and October 2012, and when I went to wear this May, the soles cracked and pieces of the heel broke off. These shoes have not been worn rough, nor have they been worn in the water. I have had many pairs of Top-Siders over the years, but the quality of these is embarrassing for the name. I have other Sperry shoes I like (almost all of my shoes are Sperry...), but the Originals seem to have a quality issue.

I have had several pairs of these over the years and have always liked them I need a wide and the most recent pair I ordered a 10.5 wide They do not fit as well as my prior pairs I kept them and have been using a shoe strecher to make them a bit wider. I tired on an 11 in a store and they were too narrow I often have to buy a half size larger to get a shoe I like brecasue so few are manufactured in wide widths I am extremly disappointed and will no longer purchase this model

I have worn a 15 M for 37 years. Used to wear Sperrys - back in the day, Never had a problem with size, until now. Other brands 15M fits fine. Returned the 15M and am waiting for 16W to see if that solves the problem. Not a Destination XL issue, but one from Sperry

Wore them one time and the shoe started coming apart, very disappointed

I bought a pair of shoe and needed them by Wednesday and I bought them on late Friday night Saturday morning. The regular shipping showed 5-10 days so I payed for the 3 day shipping. I did not get confirmation until Tuesday that the shoes shipped and I did not get them until Thursday. If you say 3 day shipping and you charge for it, it should be 3 day shipping not 4. The shoes should have gone out Monday and I would have had them when I needed them.

I bought the "Original Boat Shoe" in 13 W size which is my normal size. The shoe was both too short and too narrow. I could not even get it on my foot. I am very disappointed with the current version of this shoe. I have had many pairs in the past.

Everytime I come to your website and look for shoes, I find a great selection and am always interested in buying but I am always disapointed because my selection never is offered in extra wide. I need extra wide and unless I am the only person in the world that requires extra width it puzzles me why they are not offered. I know I am not the only one. As a matter of fact I know a lot of guys that wear extra wide shoes.

I would love to see the shoe but the package never made it to my home. Sperry is not following up. I will go elsewhere for shoes.

I always take 11W and these I couldn't get on my feet

I was expecting the same quality and durability like my original sperries 25 years ago. I bought a pair of this original boat shoes 14 months ago and now the rubber sole starts to brittle and big cracks appeared crosswise along it's sole and the upper leather deformed easily even i just wear it occasionally only for mall strolling and when driving . are they the same company that made the original sperry boat shoes 25 years ago ? the quality is not the same as it use to be .

There are ridges inside the shoes on the soles that run across my heels and make the shoes unbearable to wear. They are beyond painful and they ridges get worse the more I wear them, not better. Why would you design a shoe like that? Also, they are supposed to be non-slip, but the soles are rock hard and very slippery. I feel like I'm going to slip and hurt myself.

I have had these shoes for about a month now nad they still hurt everytime i put them on. I have them on everyday for about 6-8 hours each time, so they should be broke in and comfortable by now but there not. Also they are falling apart on the inside already. The insert type pad in the shoe is peeling up and irritates my foot, so i mess with it witch im sure will make it worse. Deffinatly the worst shoes i have ever bought for, and way over priced for what you get.

Luv this shoe, have worn this on and off for 30+ years since college. Great shoe with shorts, pants, anywhere anytime. Well I have a pair that are only 1 1/2 years old--and only wear during the summer---and the soles are cracking severely. I was shocked--I have worn previous siders, day and night---in the lake, sailing , in the snow etc--- I would have to literally "wear them out". Never a quality issue. These are shot. Maybe I'm delusional and unrealistic, but only two summers and completely cracked seems poor quality--but maybe that's just as long as they last. Aside---have a pair of the white suede, thicker sole, these may last longer.

I've purchased these shoes in the past and was very satisfied. However, the last pair, purchased within the last year, was not the same quality of materials. The sole was extremely slippery on all surfaces.

I've purchased many pairs of the "Authentic Orignal Boat Shoe" over the past several years and never had any issues, however the last pair I purchased I was very disappointed. The sole was extremely slippery on all surfaces and after a year the sole actually cracked across the bottom.Very poor quality.

Be careful ordering online. Mine came scuffed up and scratched. I feel like they dump defective shoes on online customers and hope they'll be too lazy to return them.
