Customer Reviews Sperry Billfish 3 Eye

I have been wearing Sperry Billfish shoes for years. They are one of the few boat shoes available in an extra wide which is great for my 3E feet. I received these and there were some minor cosmetic changes but overall they seemed similar to previous versions. However, that changed when I put them on. The shoe fits like a normal D width shoe. I called Sperry customer service and they said nothing had changed with the cut of the shoe; they just needed to stretch out. Since I have owned these for years I think I know how these should feel new. Something has definitely changed. Previous versions I would give 5 stars however because of the narrow fit I have to down grade the current version.

Left shoe has never fit right. Either a poor design or a problem with the product. I have sent them back twice. Still a problem.

My husband has had these for 10 months, wore them a dozen times at most. The bottom us separating from the side! Such a disappointment.

I am not happy with them. I tried the 10.5 Wide, but the were too short. I kept the 11 Wide, but they feel too loose. I probably should have tried the 11 Reg. The right heal rubs and I cannot wear them without socks. I also do not like the feel of the leather tops. They seem more like plastic than real leather. These may be buyer issues, make sure you are 100% happy before you wear them outside. I was in too much of a rush.

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.

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'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.

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.
