Like the shoe color and design, but why include green in the shoe laces? I bought these shoes to match most any short and t combination, and the green doesn't go well with anything at all. Also, the shoes ran a 1/2 size too big.

The shoes are fine - but the order was terrible - I didn't notice that mediums had been delivered instead of the wides I ordered until I'd worn the shoes outside, so I can't send them back. I ordered two items and there were three issue with the order - Sperry should really do a better job. My wife ordered one pair of shoes (same order) - two were delivered and charged to my card.
I'll shop locally next time.

I just received last week my latest purchase of the Sperry Top-Sider "Original". I have been wearing this same shoe for several decades as my primary everyday wear. Unfortunately the glued in-sole is already separating from inside the shoe with less than a week worth of wear. Not very impressive quality control.

Unexpectedly a little slippery on smooth concrete and polished tile. Excessive die with initial break-in so wear a protective sock to catch the leather dye.

The black is almost a suede type surface. I thought I was going to get simply a black leather version of the brown top-siders that I have worn for years. I ordered a medium width (and unlike the several brown pairs that I have bought, this medium was significantly more narrow than I expected. (maybe manufacturing source differences)

Good quality product, fast delivery service, fair price.
I like my sahara tan, XW but they are too snug for comfort. Need more color options in XW size; better yet, need XXW options too.

I purchased three different model shoes and they are either too short or too wide. Sizing seems to be an ongoing issue thou the quality is excellent. I am a 10.5S or 11S, depending on the shoe mfgr and generally buy 10.5S but in this case I have to return all three of them and experiment with different sizes on each model. Don't let my sizing issues stop you, just be cautious.

I ordered these for my boyfriend, and I'm so glad he wasn't there to receive them when they came in the mail. I ordered a pair in Sahara, and they came with scratches, watermarks, and are much lighter than i have seen on other people. I love sperry's and so does he, so I'm definitely going to send back and hope that Sperry Top-Sider gets it right the second time.

this will be the 2nd time that i have to return this pair due to the size not being the same as the other 6 pairs that i have or sperry boat shoes.
No big deal to return but if you do through Sperry....you have to return them on your own dime. What company still has this policy??

I have been a big fan of Sperry for a long time and I have to admit I was disappointed with my purchase. I have bearly worn the shoes for a week and the inside is already falling apart. Not the quality I expect coming from Sperry.

Got these and think they look great, but really disappointed in the leather sole. They were glued together very badly and from day one the leather started curling up under my foot to the point where I had to try to trim it out. This really isnt necessary if someone had put a bit more attention to detail when it comes to the details of the construction. Pretty disappointing in general. Every time you pull your foot out you begin to peel the leather away more.

I have owned many pairs of topsiders. But I was dissappointed to find that they have cheapened the quality. the inner sole only covers 1/2 of the shoe. I didn't notice this at first but after wearing them a couple of months the 1/2 size inner sole began to peel up and curl. This causes a blister to form on the foot.

Second pair. Using same product number as first pair what I received was significantly bigger, wider and darker than first pair. Is it because men are getting fatter feet to accomodate their fatter waist lines? Tracking, mailing and delivery was excellent.

I thought I was getting a sort of canvas exterior material. I have bought 2 pairs in the last 25 years and this pair was different. I sent back 1 pair recently that was not what I thought I was getting and this pair wasn't either but I guess you don't offer it anymore. It's hard to to tell by the pictures on line and I always bought the other 2 pairs in person.

I am not sure if i recommend this product: I ordered the oatmeal color for my daughter. It was on her Christmas wishlist - she wanted the smallest men's size because oatmeal is not available as a women's shoe. Unfortunately the shoes that arrived were dark - certainly darker than the oatmeal product photo, almost as dark as the not-oatmeal women's Sperry topsiders she already has. She's trying to decide if she is going to keep them...

I have always been a Sperry fan over the last 35 years, since the 70s; even before they were cast to immortality when they came out in the Preppy Handbook of the 80s. Simply put, Top-Siders are the only shoes i know of, which look equally classy worn with pants or shorts. Living in a tropical country but frequently traveling abroad, they have been a constant, versatile companion and have never let me down.
My personal choice are two-tone Tops with brass eyelets. Class to the max! Next would be the deep blues with the white eyelets. Then the classic greens.
Further, for me, anything without Sperry squeegee soles are not boat shoes. That totally seamless pattern that only starts to open up and look/perform better with use, over time. In fact, everything about Sperry looks better and more personal over time.
... until the last pair i bought in San Francisco. These were exactly like the ones featured here (stock #: 0195412 and shoe inner markings also read A-4 CH08). After just 2 months both soles had wear holes right down the middle, letting water from the slightest puddle into my shoes.
Is this a new design or materials flaw? Did anyone mess around with my favorite squeegee recipe?? After a few more months, both insoles also came unglued. Sperry, quo vadis? Have you gone the way of today's assemblyline and shortcut manufacturers? I sure hope not.
Being 5,000 miles away from SFO i have resorted to getting cheap lousy soles masquerading as squeegees sewn onto my original Sperrys -- almost as unthinkable as the leopard pattern Tops i just saw on this site, now ( i mercifully leave exotic prints for rugs and stuff as in the photo). It really is a pity to throw my purty Sperrys away so i am making do for now.
The core of Sperry lies in its adherence to quality; something not commonly found especially in this day and age and something that should make Sperry even shine brighter than ever. Sperry forever... hopefully.

I have owned over a dozen pairs of the Amereto Topsider.
The last three pairs have had the sole delaminated from the upper. This is after a relatively short wear.

Top-Sider Wearer Since 1982. Through the years quality has suffered. Using plastic parts, different rubber compounds, different sipping on sole, many other things that only someone who has worn them over the years can tell. The days when you got a "hand made" felt top-sider made in the USA are over.
Wish I would have stocked up way back when had I known that the product quality would start to suffer.
Still I will keep wearing them what can I say, just my thoughts.

Having a narrow foot myself, I love my Sperry shoes (I've worn them since I was a little girl), so I purchased two pairs of these shoes for my husband; one in the brown and one in the navy. My husband wears an 11 Extra Wide shoe, but I was hoping (since the leather on these shoes is so soft) that he would still be able to make these work after he wore them a few times. Unfortunately, Sperry's shoes are simply too narrow in the sole and wider options aren't even offered? We are disappointed, but we have no choice but to return these and look elsewhere for his boat shoes.
Sperry, please consider making some extra wide options on your shoes as well. My husband loves being outdoors and staying active, and these shoes seemed like the perfect addition to his warddrobe (slip them on and go! - while still looking stylish). We were disappointed that wider options weren't available from a company who has always been so highly regarded.
