Customer Reviews Sperry Billfish 3-Eye Boat Shoe

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.

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.

These shoes are absolutely the worst I have ever tried to slip my feet into. I have bought 3 pairs of shoes from the online store, not one pair had the arch support in the right place. On some pairs the left side the arch support was glued in the right area but to high on the left wall. On the other pair the arch support was glued in the right area but to high on the right wall. Over all; THE SPERRY QUALITY OF THE BOAT SHOES HAS SUNK TO A NEW LOW. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THEM.

Very disappointing. I understand the holiday shipping caused a delay in delivery. The disappointing issue was that the two 10.5 EW shoes were obviously made on two different lasts. The left shoe was physically 0.25 to 0.33 inches longer than the right shoe. The front half of the right shoe was made about 15 too 20 degrees right of the shoe's centerline... toe was duck footed to the right which made it very difficult to be comfortable. I have been wearing Sperry boat shoes for 20+ years... including the Billfish, Mako, and Gold Cup models. I'd have ordered the Gold Cup Billfish, but it isn't offered in Extra Wide. I hope the replacement shoes are made better!!!

The old and trusted 3-eye Billfish is not what it used to be. I have bought same shoe, same size same width for many many years but now i will have to try them on to confirm they fit. Shoes are much tighter, one shoe near impossible.

To narrow base. Either wrong width size or bad design

My third pair of Boat Shoes did not fit as well as previous in the arch.

Shoe was same size as previous orders. But, was way too narrow and uncomfortable. I have thrown them away

Poor fit .. ordered as wide but very narrow shoe and very stiff making wearing these uncomfortable to the point I do not use them. My other Sherry wide shoes have fitted great

A wide isn't wide it's just medium. I am sure S/R would prefer not to produce a wide shoe anyway.

Medium width fits MUCH narrower than previous Sperry boat shoes or any other manufacturer's size 12M shoe. Great looking shoe but deceptive design in terms of interior footbed cushioning. AppeRs much more cushioned than it is, basically the same as any other Sperry boat shoe, which is very little cushioning. Bottom line is great looking shoe that you need a wide width of you usually wear medium width, and may need to add a cushioning insole because this shoe is NOT well cushioned.

These shoes were too narrow after getting a replacement pair! The insole inserts were paper and cardboard. Can't recommend them! I had to return them again!

The shoes they were replacing were Bill Fish that lasted over ten years. Outstanding quality they were 10 1/2 wide .The new ones I received At first glance the leather was much thinner all around the size was also a 10 1/2 wide I have worn them a few times and they are very narrow and tight. I was hoping that they would stretch out but hasn't happened as of yet. I suppose I should have ordered the x wide who knew. Overall the quality has sure gone down over the years very disappointed

This an attractive shoe for someone with high arches. For people with low to no arch, they are extremely uncomfortable.

Very disappointed with what would have been my 4th pair of Billfish. Not sure why you had to change a good thing, but the arch of the shoe is terrible. Seems like it is narrower and now your arch comes down on the hard rubber banding of the sole so that it feels like I'm standing on a sharp rock. And the leather around back of heel barely supports itself making the shoe difficult to slip on. Please go back to previous design!

I was disappointed by poor fit: narrow between heel and toe, with far too much arch support. I've bought a pair of Sperry every year, more or less, for two decades now and have never encountered this problem before. They usually fit perfectly. (I've also bought Merrills and other brands for hiking recently and have not encountered this problem.)

These are the most uncomfortable Sperrys I have ever owned. I don't typically wear a wide shoe, but perhaps that would help. I soaked them in water to try and soften them up so they are not not returnable. The sole is rigid and jabs into the bottom/outside of my foot.

The instep was too low: I unlaced it and still couldn't even get it on my foot.

This show is very narrow and the arch support squeezes the left inside arch of the foot. It feels like a plate pressing the the side of the arch. This shoe feels stiff and very uncomfortable.

Very uncomfortable. The arch support is too high and hard for my foot.
