Customer Reviews Sperry Billfish 3 Eye

It seems the shoes are different sizes. The right shoe is too tight. Have several pairs of Sperrys and sometimes the shoes are too tight.

I have had 5 pairs of Billfish over the years. All were perfect, gave great wear and were comfortable but the pair I just purchased were defective in that the stitching where the soles attach to the uppers began pulling apart after a 200 yard walk. I had a shoemaker restitch them and they are now fine. I think I just got a bad pair and unless this is more than an isolated incident I would still recommend them. Sperry.. I suggest you inspect your stock. All this said, great service from the website and prompt delivery.

I have worn Sperry products for the past 50 years. I have seen a reduction in quality since Sperry outsourced production of deck shoes to Red China.

These shoes ran too wide, however I did not return, because my son needed them right away. He wears a size 16, so I was happy that Sperry carried larger sizes.

I recently purchased and returned a pair of new boat shoes. They were the same size and model number of a shoe made by Sperry four years ago. The model number from the label inside the tongue reads: 0777924 The shoes purchased four years ago were fantastically comfortable and had a good non-skid siping design on the sole, hence my desire to re-purchase the same model. They performed well. The current production shoe in the same model number was purchased at a local chain shoe store. Although they carried the shoe in stock, my size wasn't available. They offered to order my size and ship directly to my house. Upon arrival there were two issues with the new shoes, the most serious is the design of the sole siping. The design of siping has been changed from a "razor" cut (classic design?) to a new molded open style siping. This is an unacceptable change. The new siping pattern allows small grit and pebbles to imbed in the siping. This leaves scratches on the boat's gel coat finish. The razor cut siping is a superior way to make a non-slip, non-marring sole. It's what Sperry has marketed for years as a superior shoe, why the change? A minor issue is that the sizing/fit is no longer accurate. I bought the same shoe size 8M in the 0777924 the new shoe was too loose and was cutting at the ankle and heel.

Loved this product, but fitting is non-standard and they arrived a 1/2 size too big. Tried to cancel my order, and it is only AFTER you place the order, do they tell you changes to the order are not allowed. It would have been MUCH MORE HELPFUL to know this at the time of ordering. Return process is a nightmare, as I was shipping these to my college freshman.

I wear a 3E. The XW is at best an E. The length of the shoe is standard for the size 10.5 that I ordered. I really wanted to keep these shoes because they look great.

I ordered the 9.5 XW size but it was much too narrow. I expected a width similar to EE but the shoe was closer to a medium width (4 inches) . Standard EE is 4.3 inches wide. I suppose the shoe was really a medium and mislabeled as a XW. I wish Sperry would use standard measurement units D,E, EE, etc.

I found the shoe to be comfortable, but fell apart on me within the week. I'm sending it back now to be replaced. :/

I have been wearing Sperry Top-Siders for 40+ years. Seems as if Sperry has cut back on materials and quality; the leather is thinner, the shoes are made from more pieces sewn together, allowing more water penetration and places for failure. Overall it is still a decent shoe, though the quality has diminished over the years. Sperry is not alone in this practice; I just wish that they would hold to their standards of quality as in years past.

Purchased for my son. He ordered a 1/2 size smaller than his normal size because he had tried on Sperry before and knew they ran big for him but the 1/2 size smaller was still too big.

I have worn both the 2-Eye and these and I definitely recommend getting the 2-Eye. I've been wearing the 2-Eyes for roughly 2 months longer than these, and these are already deteriorating and they are much less uncomfortable. Don't waste your money on these :)

My son loved the shoe...he loved the color and the style. They hurt his feet terribly. Within 3 days he began to complain about pain in his instep. I wish I knew what to do.

Fit is narrow, I had a pair before that were great. I am hoping that it will be better when it's broken in.

Uncomfortable, Need Arch Supports, Hurt bottoms of feet

Looked better online then in-person. I should of looked for them in a store first.

Too narrow in spite of ordering wide shoe. Quality is ok.

Bought the Billfish a few weeks ago because I liked one color options. The size is right but the width runs much more narrow than advertised. Their "D" is much closer to a "C" or "B" width. Rather than go the hassle of returning them, I made the mistake that shoe trees and wearing them would help relax the leather. Bottom line: Even if you have narrow feet, get the wide size and after 3 pairs of different Sperry shoes, I'm done with the brand. There are better quality boat shoes on the market.

I could feel every seam inside the shoe. I've owned lots of Sperrys and the quality just doesn't compare to the older ones.
