Customer Reviews Sperry Angelfish

Let me start off by saying, order these shoes a half size smaller. I usually wear an 8.5, but my feet slipped out of them immediately. The 8's are snug and stay on when I walk. The inside is well padded and quite comfortable. However, these shoes took me forever to break in. I would definitely recommend walking around in them with socks around the house before you actually wear them out in public. For the first three weeks of wearing these shoes, I had cuts and blisters on my feet. After a while, they will begin to fit right. On a more positive note, the sole is nice and sturdy. As for style, they are super cute and I only get compliments on them. I got the papaya/crocodile and mesh looking pair, and they look super classy. I didn't want a pair that looked like everyone else's, and these don't. They are dressy enough to make an outfit look preppy, but casual enough to wear leisurely. I thought the crocodile-ish pattern might look a bit tacky with my wardrobe, but it doesn't. I'd recommend these shoes to anyone who wants a sturdy pair of boat shoes and who has the patience to break them in.

I am a huge fan of the Sperry Top Siders; this is the second pair I've bought. I work in a warehousing environment where I am on my feet for most of the day. These Sperrys give me the cushion and arch support I need so that my feet and back are not hurting at the end of the day, but are also a stylish, casual alternative to sneakers. The quality of the shoe is also a bonus because it is durable. My first pair were 7.5, but for these I decided to go with a size 7. The 7.5's stretched over time, not to the point where I can't wear them anymore but I wanted these to be more secure.

I just got my first pair of Sperry's, and although I was sent the wrong color, I decided to keep them and also reorder the original color. I think they are very stylish and actually comfortable with some arch support. I do agree with other reviews that you need to order smaller than you normally would. I normally wear a 7 and I got the 6.5 size, which works perfectly for me with socks. Without socks, it's a bit big but will do. So if you are planning on wearing them without socks, then definitely go one size smaller. I personally wanted the versatility, so I just went a half size smaller.

Love these shoes! They are super comfortable and are the perfect spring/summer/early fall shoe and are especially good on those cold and rainy days when you need a little more traction on the sidewalks. The heel does rub at first, but after breaking them in a little there was no further problem.

These definitely ran big/long. I usually wear an 8.5 and ended up with the 7.5. I love that they come in a narrow width, too!

I loved the look of these shoes. They have a soft patina shine and nice contrast that makes them look great. I ordered a 10M which is what I wear, but these were a bit too tight across the area that ties and you really can't adjust it. I wore them for a day to see if it would get better but it didn't. The heel was loose, but the top of the heel curves in a dug into the back of my ankle. I am ordering a different version with 2 eyelets in a 10 wide and returning these. I have a medium wide foot with a slight bunion, so hopefully that does the trick.

These shoes are incredibly comfortable as well as being stylish and easy to slip on/off. I walked around for five hours serving food in them and was utterly comfortable!

Great shoe and fits true to size, but will stretch. This specific color was a tad wide, but I have this show in other colors and they are true to size. The tan leather is much lighter, but appears to darken with time.

These are very cute and very comfortable, but provided no protection against slipping on wet floors (or decks) whatsoever. The tread looks great but once they are on, they are just average shoes. They pretty comfortable as slippers, although the back of the shoe (heel area) is not lined with shearling and is not comfortable without socks.

Pros: Very cute boat shoes, love the color, the cushion in the inside is very comfortable. It also looks great with my jeans and skirt. Cons: The sizing is off. I am 5.5 in most shoes, had to return the 5.5 medium width and get the 5 narrow. With the 5.5 I kept slipping out and with the 5 it took awhile to break in, the back of my heels had blister for days due to the constant rubbing. Overall, I probably will not purchase another Sperry shoe, their sizing does not work for me. And of course, Zappos was amazingly fast with shipping! And their customer service is great, I had to contact their online support regarding the size.

A fun, good looking shoe. Purchased for my daughter. She normally wears a 12; however, the 12 was too large. Reordered the 11 (does not come in 11 1/2) and it was quite narrow. She loved the look but just too narrow. Very sad as they were a birthday present. Will look for wides in the future. Thanks Zappos for making this all so easy...to buy and return!

When I first ordered the Sperry Angelfish in Linen/Oat, I got an 8.5. I wore the shoe in my house for awhile, but decided I wanted to try a 9. I have narrow feet so sometimes my size varies. Zappos quickly sent out the other pair and I decided to keep the 9. Sadly, after wearing the shoes out, I found out they stretched and were far too large. I took them on vacation shortly afterward though, wore them to dinner and ended up getting a massive blister on my heel, I actually still have a scar it was so large. I was hesitant to wear them after that, but powered through and they eventually became more comfortable. Now, I wear them all the time, they're my go-to comfy shoe when I don't want to wear Nikes. I think had I kept the 8.5 and the shoes hadn't been flopping on my heel, I would not have gotten the blister. They definitely run a half-size large! So keep that in mind when ordered, I wish I had. I wore them in spring, summer and now in fall/winter when it's not super cold or snowing, I just wear socks and still think they look super cute! I will probably end up buying another pair in a smaller size at some point.

I own a different style of the Angelfish but this particular style was more snug. The heel rubs too but are otherwise comfy and stylish.

This shoe has an extra padded in sole that makes it very comfortable for long periods of standing. As I am wearing the shoe it is breaking in more, but when it first arrived it was quite tight/narrow in the area just lateral to the laces. Overall I am pleased with the shoe and the mild rubbing is going away the more the shoe breaks in. I do not recommend walking very far in them until they are are broken in. Also they are very cute and that matters to me.

These fit great and look really great. However, I had to send them back because there is a bump where the lacing goes into the toe box area that hit directly on my big toe joint and hit a nerve. So sad. They are great-looking and feeling shoes otherwise.

Purchase arrived within time-frame promised & was correct item. Love these shoes -- just wish it were possible to get some discount on Sperry's!

Love the purple version. Footbed is very comfortable. Ordered in a Slim. Fit was great except for the heel - it slipped slightly, even with low profile "barefoot" socks. Sadly, I'm returning because I'm concerned that when they break in they will slip more.

Loved the fun colors and snazzy flower pattern till I figured how little I had in my closet to wear with it?

I absolutely love my Sperry Angelfish! I have them in pewter and they are great! They go with so much! I wore them on a trip throughout Northern California and they did give me a couple blisters in San Fransisco, but I absolutely love them! I have got a very narrow foot, so I had to pull them tight. I would try to get my next pair in narrow if they are available.

This is a very nice shoe! My only problem is I have a small bunion on one foot and it rubs it. Each time that I wear them they get more comfortable. Hopefully, it will be fine in another wear or two.

I wore my new pair and got a huge blister within two hours, which is the reason I gave this shoe a three star rating. A few days later, I tried them again. This time, no problems. I bought these shoes for an upcoming cruise and I want to break them in. Thankfully, I didn't wait to wear them in the islands! I would order the size you usually wear. I wear between an 8 and a 9. I ordered 8.5 and they fit me perfectly. I hope this helps.

These do not run small! I'm normally between a 7.5 and an 8. I usually read the reviews on Zappos to determine which size to order. I ordered the 7.5 and based on other reviews, tried to wear them in since I knew they were stiff at first. While trying to wear them in, I got extremely painful blisters on both heels and my pinkie toes! I finally ordered the 8s after trying multiple times to wear in the 7.5s, and the 8s were perfect! My feet aren't narrow, but they're not particularly wide - so if you don't have narrow feet, go with your normal size - do not order small!

These shoes are very cute - perfect for my 12-year old except the laces keep untying typical of top-siders. Not sure how to keep them tied.
