This shoe was much too narrow for my foot. I placed it next to the Sebago Clovehitch 2 and it was about ½ inch more narrow. I couldn't get it on my feet without much pain. Too bad because it is a very good looking boat shoe.

I was delighted with my first pair. Very comfortable and lasted well. In fact, I was so pleased I bought a second pair when the first did eventually wear out. While the second pair was just as comfortable right out of the box, I was sadly disappointed with the quality insofar as the sole began to separate from the upper within about 2 months of non-daily wearing.
I am debating buying another pair (they are super comfortable) and sending this current pair back to see what happens.

I agree with the previous reviewer that these have a quality problem. After wearing mine intermittently for a year, they have a large rip in the side. While they lasted they were good shoes, but clearly sub-par construction.

These shoes can be very comfortable but they have 2 issues: 1) the fit varies widely from one pair to another. 2) after just a few uses they look like crap (and I usually take good care of shoes). With that in mind these are a hit or miss, and somewhat overpriced for how long (or short) they last.

Third pair. 2nd pair just fell apart, soul fell away from the upper. beyond that, in both my recent purchases of this shoe I find that the laces will not stay tied. It is very annoying. I am constantly having to stop, bend over and re-tie the shoe. My sense is that there is too much synthetic material in the lace which allows it to come loose, undone. I am a long-term customer, buy most from Nordstrom but often from your website since sizes are known and true. This is a major inconvenience and annoyance. I'm done with this shoe.

I've bought this model of Sperry deck shoe for years but these were a huge disappointment. Much narrower than the 'wide' I have purchased before and instead of tan they turned out to be a very unattractive orangish tan. I saw the exact same model / UPC in a department store later and the color was the normal tan Sperry used to sell. Very disappointed and even though I wore them I am going to attempt a return to Zappos since I don't believe they are of the normal Sperry quality and fit for a high-priced shoe.

Great looking new-- loved 'em. After a season they became somewhat dingy so I used Sperry Cleaner and Conditioner, and I must say I followed directions as carefully as I could. They became terribly dry, light colored and began to crack. I'm not sure if the leather was not tanned properly or the conditioner was too strong. The only way to make them usable was to use a well known conditioner which darkened them significantly, but at least they flex without cracking.

I love these shoes. HOWEVER, the footbed has a 3/4 leather with a seam that hits right where my foot lands. After walking a while in them, they gave me blisters. I have no idea why they would put such and idiotic footbed in such a great and otherwise comfortable shoe. I shouldn't have to get replacement inserts, and if I do, I have to rip out the footbed, as it's glued in.

I love the Look Of these shoes but dont lasT. the insoles sTart to peel up and wrinkle inside. I have returned the shoes twice but they all have done the samething. I will never buy another pair of these shoes again. The pRice is A little steep for something of such poor quality. They start of really comfOrtaBle until the Sole peels up.

I have purchased Sperry Top Siders and Boat Shoes for years. I recently purchased these shoes and I am very disappointed in the quality. In less than a month's time the stitching on the rear of the left shoe came undone. I only wear the shoes around the house and not outdoors so it was not done to excessive or rough use. I should have realized when I saw that it was made in Vietnam that it would be of poor quality.

I've lost count of how many pairs of these shoes I have owned. I absolutely love them, well at least the old ones! This pair is the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. The construction and quality of the shoe has declined since my last purchase one year ago. The insoles feel like I am walking on a sponge and are so soft that my foot sinks into the shoe to the point that my ankles rub on the rim of the foot opening. I thought that this pair might just need some 'breaking in', but I'm at the point of throwing them in the trash. I am very disappointed.

They hurt ankle bone. The sides of the upper are 1/2 inch taller than previous pairs of the exact same model (also purchased from Zappos).

As others have stated, this is a very good shoe except that it wears out prematurely. The fabric tears just above the rubber side sole. The disparity between the stiff rubber and the soft fabric causes the fabric to eventually tear. At this price, not worth it to replace shoes every year.

I have owned many top sides and i am disappointed in this pair, they are made great but not even close to the comfort of other tops side shoes I have owned in the past. I work on concrete all day long some days for 18 hours these are not that good for hard surfaces.

These shoes are not the same that they used to be. I normally wear a medium in shoes but these are tight. I would suggest getting a size larger. They are nice looking though.

I've been wearing these shoes for a little over a year and let me tell you, they are not nearly as durable as they need to be. After I stepped in my second puddle, the shoes began to fall apart. I can't tell you how many time I've had to glue the soles of the shoes back in. Not to mention that a hole has been worn into the mesh part. Don't get me wrong, I love the look of these shoes, but they aren't durable at all. I'm thoroughly disappointed with this shoe.

I have always loved sperry's but when i opened the box and but them on, the right shoe was perfect but the left one felt like it had a rock in it, the sole and stitching were off on the inside so everytime you took a step it felt like there was a rock on you big toe.

I used these down at the beach once and the inside of the shoes started pealing up and I can't replace them because the insoles can't be removed

A design change has made this once extremely desirable style undesirable. What was a desirable tan color is now an undesirable darker tan color. What was a desirable roundish toe is now an undesirable long and pointed toe. Very disappointed to see such changes in what I considered a Sperry Topsider Classic. That kept me buying. Now with no other satisfying style for me to select, I will be buying from another manufacturer who had come close but never close enough for me to purchase until now.
Please let me know if you decide to return to the classic style that had me hooked so I can once again proudly wear my beloved Sperry Topsiders.

The sides fell apart on the right foot, and the tougue on the left foot riped. Not good for a shoe that just got wet in the yard.

I've been wearing Sperry boat shoes for years, but I guess I'll have to find a new brand now. Ordered these a size larger than I normally get because I already had to return the ones I got in my normal size. They are still so small and narrow and incredibly uncomfortable. Not sure what happened with their sizing, but these are unwearable.

This shoe is not what it used to be. It is too small. The shoe is built in a different plant and the manufacturers have changed the style. It is too narrow - now even with their "new" wide and "extra" wide - they are still more narrow than the originals. Have been a lifelong user, over 50 years. Have tried twice this year and they did not fit. Very sad to see the company change.
