Very low arch support and thin sole under the ball of your foot. I had purchased Sperry 20 years ago and had a similar experience. I guess I assumed that they had improved their product.

I had the old rendition of this shoe, super comfortable and durable. Although the new ones APPEAR the same, they are lightly constructed cartoons of the former versions, offer little support while being unbelievably stiff. My old ones were soft and supple, fitting like a glove upon initial wear, and rendered years of rugged use. American companies continue their plunge into the abyss, self-inflicted wounds of greed and stupidity!

Sperry is terribly misleading company. Overrated with misleading sales practices.

The new Billfish made in Sri Lanka are of terrible quality compared to those made in Dominican Republic. Cheaper leather, bad build quality, terrible QC. The insoles are made cheaply, and the threading from the sole is sharp against the skin. The insoles use to cover that up, but with poor quality insoles compared to past versions, that is no longer the case. Sadly, I think I'm on my last pair of Sperrys.

Much to narrow I wish I could exchange for a pair of the standard topsiders

Have owned many Sperry shoes over the years - the Billfish a favorite. Unfortunately it appears they have lowered their quality by a large amount with the durability of the shoe.
After only a few months, the insole is falling to pieces and clearly was never thick or durable enough for daily use. Incredibly disappointing.

You have changed the design since I last purchased so that the instep sole is raised and hard. This is very painful to me and makes the shoes unwearable. I love the look but can't stand the pain.

A very ill fitting shoe. Not nearly as comfortable as the original Topsider boat shoe. You are better off with a good running shoe.

The foot bed and finish on the inside of this particular shoe was rough and there was a big noticeable transition where the back part of the insole was sewn to the front part of the insole. Rather disappointing in terms of construction quality.

I'd like to offer a good review of the shoes, but I was sent a pair of Saucony women's shoes instead. Maybe next time....
I'll be glad to have the discount, though, should I want to reorder.

I have particular feet and they don’t like the Billfish. I had to get the Tarpon model (I think they have been discontinued) as they seem to be the ones that make my feet smile.
I tried to make the Billfish work and wore for several days and since they have slight wear I’m sure they are not returnable.

They are hopelessly too narrow to be EEE. There is no last on them, the shoes are almost dead straight. Obviously made for Asian or narrow Euro feet.
I have sent them back.
Had 2Es and 3Es before, current pair is 2E and over half an inch wider than these that are supposed to be 3E.

Over the years I've purchased many pair if these but won't any longer. In the past year or so the quality has really deteriorated. The leather is not as soft and the insole is now a cheap foam type making them much less comfortable. Obviously they are now cutting corners. What a shame as they WERE my favorite casual shoe.
Let me know when you go back to making a comfortable dockside.

I always wear 9 wide. This shoe was at least a half to a full size too large. I thought it was a mistake. My big toe was more than an inch from the end of the toe box. I returned the pair.

Bought a sperry after my friend said its good. At first it was all good but as I started walking for a mile it started biting. Soon my right feet was so painful i had to limp. My skin was bruised and was peeling due to rubbing of the shoe.

Ive been wearing sperry boat shoes for almost 40 years and always have at least two pairs in my closet. I've had many styles of boat shoes. Sad to say these particular ones are the most uncomfortable boat shoes Ive ever had. The leather is hard and almost seems wax coated so the looks are so-so. The shoes is very still and interior foot bed is abrasive. I really cant walk in the for more than a few minutes. Sperry does not sell replacement footbeds. My 10 year old gold cup footbed feels better. So I have not yet thrown out either my old gold cup shoes or my old original billfish. After this summer is over these new billfish will get tossed and I will look for something new next spring. Waste of money. Since I've had so many great sperry boat shoes over the years it never crossed my mind to try these out indoors first so I could return them.

Fit was off for the size 9.5 WW on the pair I received for my husband -- way too long for the size. Returned and purchased same size, same style at local shoe store which fit perfectly.

Shoes are delaminating from the soles to the leather uppers. Total junk . Never wore them on a boat, just casual outings.

Super super uncomfortable shoe. I thought after wearing them twice they would break in but they are definitely the most uncomfortable shoe I ever owned. I wish I could return them for a different show. The color, dark tan, looks nothing like the picture as well. It should be called just tan.

This shoe has never fit correctly. I had to send the shoes back 2-3 times and now I'm stuck with the last pair. Hard to buy shoes over the internet.

My husband has the shoes pictured but apparently Sperry changed the shoes. They are not the same. Very narrow and the rubber sole digs into the arch. unwearable. Guess we won't be buying these again.

Another pair of Sperry's that came out defective. After 3 months of light use shoes started falling apart. The seamed around the shoes is definitely of poor quality. On the left shoe the seam is so poor that now I have a gap that I can pass my fingers through to the inside of the shoe. The first pair of Sperry's I bought lasted me about 4 years. This new pair has barely lasted 4 months.

Fell apart within 2 months. My son loved these for style & comfort. Unfortunately, the upper began to separate from the sole. Not durable at all.

This shoe, made in China, smelled of pungent chemicals immediately upon opening the box. I left it out of the box to "air out" but the odor remained. The odor gave me a headache and a feeling of nausea. If it continue I will consider my remedies.
