Great shoes and great service from Zappos! Probably my 20th pair of Sperry Top-Siders but first pair of the top of the line. Big difference in added comfort and quality workmanship. Very happy for my choice and glad I spent the extra money.

I bought a pair of black ones at a sale price through Zappos and I have been waiting for a sale on the brown ones so that I could buy another pair. I have enjoyed my black pair in spite of the in sole curling up. However, I feel that the price is too much and the sale price I paid for my black ones was reasonable.

These shoes are very high quality like all Sperry shoes. The insoles have plenty of cushion and support. I own the loafer style and they have lasted 7 years and are still going strong.

High quality leathers inside and out. Resole able durability, I love the pebbled leather look also. I bought them in black and they are GOOD looking shoes. All the way from business dress to weekend casual in this style makes them practical too, they'll get used a lot. Water-treated leather is great for the Puget Sound area. I can't say enough about the Gold Cup line of Sperry's, it's just top-notch stuff and worth a few more bucks.

Good looking shoe & extremely comfortable. I also have the gold cup Billfish. I'm hooked on the Gold Cup series, the shoes are extremely comfortable with soft leather linings!

I just love my Sperry Top-Sider Gold Boat shoes. I have two pair and just ordered a third pair so I now have all that are made in this style. I must say they are with out a doubt the best shoes for all around wear that I have ever owned. I am now retired and dress casual all the time. Do your self a favor if you read this review and buy yourself a pair, you will not be disappointed.

Last month I purchased two pair of different color Sperry Top-Sider Gold Boat shoes. I also purchased a single pair about one year ago. After pretty heavy use, the pair from last year ripped between the sole and the upper on one shoe. These are otherwise such nice and comfortable shoes that I am taking a chance again hoping that the defect does not occur again. I highly recommend both Zappos and the Sperry Gold Boat shoe.

Well made, comfortable shoe. A bit stiff at first, but breaks-in nicely. Great look.

Great shoe, comfortable, could use a little more arch support (but I have that problem with most shoes), looks great and very well made.

These are great shoes - too bad Sperry discontinued them. Zappos service is second to none. Glad they had these in stock.

These are beautiful shoes. They run a half size to large if you are going to wear them without socks. The deer skin lining is a serious luxury, and significantly improves the comfort with out socks. May be too nice for boating. The gold islets have a particular look that you might either like or dislike...it might send a message "that you paid this much for boat shoes" so if you don't want to send that message then these might not be the shoes for you. I put the quality and feel of these shoes as world class, equal to or better than the finest shoes in the world.

This is a very attractive dress Sperry. I got these for my husband for our dressy, yet casual events. We both really like them.

I have two pairs of this shoe. I find them very comfortable. They are of excellent quality. I have had Mephistos boat shoe for years but like the Sperry shoes better.

Fit perfectly right out of the box. I wore these shoes for a full day in complete comfort, right from the beginning. They look good and feel right. This was a successful purchase, and I am not, in any way, disappointed. I recommend these shoes. They are worth every penny!

Great shoes. Well built with great support. Inside leather is so soft I wear barefoot all the time. These shoes are handsome and distinguished and will hold up to daily use.

I could not believe that boat shoes would be this expensive. I bought them anyway based on the description and the other reviews. These really are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. They are completely lined with deer skin leather, which is like butter, and the foot beds are memory foam. The whole shoe is beautifully constructed. It's a modernized, more comfortable, more supportive and better made version of the classic boat shoe but it doesn't lose the classic look I wanted.

I AND OTHERS HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN NOT WEARING SOCKS WITH GOLD CUP SHOES, THE INNER LINING SOLE WILL PULL OUT UPON REMOVAL. THIS LEATHER INNER SOLE SHOULD BE SECURED TO THE SHOE.

The Gold Cup series are really the Ferrari of shoes; footwear at its finest. I just stare at them sometimes as I appreciate things that are symmetrical and well made. I order a new* pair annually since I usually wear them everyday throughout the year. They are expensive, but I really don't mind the price as it is just a gorgeous shoe; my justification for the price is "How can I not afford to have them?". Being young and broke does not help the situation though.

I have purchased this shoe several times. They are high quality, very comfortable, and look great! They stand up well to almost daily wear. The eyelets started popping out of the leather after 2 months on my last pair, but Zappos replaced them immediately.

I bought these shoes for casual wear. Removing them from the box, they are visually pleasing. Putting them on you immediately feel the quality that makes these shoes as expensive as they are. The best part of this purchase for me though was the time these shoes have lasted. I bought mine in 2010, and to this day, Spring 2014, they are still my go to shoe. They have lasted incredibly well, and I wear them daily. The tread is still there, the finish is still the same and the insole has held up amazingly well. I wear these without socks most of the time and have no discomfort. This is the only boat shoe I have been able to do this with. I have worn this style since the '80s and these are by far the best. It's worth spending more for a shoe that feels and lasts as these do. If this is your first purchase from Zappos, you can expect first class customer service and quick delivery. Highly recommended!

These are the fourth pair of shoes I have purchased in this exact style and each successive pair has been as good as the last. I am so very pleased that they are still being made! I have an ordinary sized foot with no special orthopaedic insert needs, however I had orthoscopic surgery on one knee and was wearing other style shoes because I wanted to give my wardrobe a change, both knees felt uncomfortable and were aching. Putting these shoes back on made all the difference as I felt more comfortable in my stride and both knees felt as though they were back, no pain or uncomfortableness. These shoes, at least for my feet and stride, are absolutely the finest.

This was my fourth purchase of this model in 5 years. I still have all 4. The oldest has been in salt water total immersion many times and is my main boating shoe (the salt comes off and out with a solution of half vinegar, half water). The second pair I keep at my second home. My third has served me well for a couple of years, but I like to switch back and forth rather than wear one pair all the time. They are totally comfortable and great looking with Bermuda shorts, jeans, khakis, or slacks. My foot is wide, so I get the "W" width. Although I am a 9.5 in other shoes, I find the 9 fits me perfectly with or without socks.

Like a glove the first time on. Some shoes are like that. I also use Ecco and Clark (structure) and these are right in there but with superior styling IMO. I think it is all about the lining but I'm sure the build is also a factor.

This is my son's second pair in 2 yrs. He loves wearing them no matter if it's with jeans, shorts or whatever. The last pair he had are still in good condition and we only gave them away because they were too small.
