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!

High quality, very comfortable with great feeling of support! For me they work best without socks. Also a good looking boat shoe.

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.

Greetings, we got the Sperry gold boat on black today and this gold Sperry series is worth every penny. The best 5 star shoe money can buy. Excellent.

This shoe fits me so well and is so comfortable, I feel like I am walking on air. It fits perfectly with no time needed to break it in. After 25 wearings, it has become my favorite casual shoe. I wear it anytime I am not wearing dress shoes to work. The styling is gorgeous. Looks like a classic upscale moccasin. My foot sweats a lot, but the shoe doesn't show any sweat stains and retains its shape even after consecutive days of hard wearing. I wore this shoe while timing at a swimming pool during a swim meet, and even the chlorine from water splashing did not stain the leather. There is no pinching at the ankle bone and my foot has conformed to the shoe. The heel is strong and does not breakdown, even when I slide my foot in repeatedly without a shoe horn. Absolutely the best moc I have ever bought and that includes mocs from the major competitors up in Maine and in Wisconsin!!!

After nearly 2 years I'm about to order my 2nd pair of the ASV gold series even thought the first pair still has some miles left on them. Two things I've done with my first pair that are worth sharing: I replaced the leather laces with the fabric laces and they no longer break or come untied; and, I replaced the doeskin liner with a gel insert to gain even more comfort for longer walks. Unquestionably the best looking and most comfortable casual shoe I've ever worn!

As usual, the Gold Cup hits the home run! Have been looking for a black deck shoe in Gold Cup! The style and comfort are great!

These shoes are so comfortable and styled that I wear them most of the time. Fact is I have three pairs currently the oldest pair I wear around the house and yard, the two newer pairs I switch off wearing. In my 75 years this is the best fitting shoe I have ever had and they are almost impossible to wear out.

First off, fits true to other Sperry sizing. I have been wearing nothing but Sperrys but the regular A/O's for the last (at least) 5 years. I finally was able to zoom in on a size 12W, which limited styling options. I would have never bought these if some of the other styles would have fit right. But I am SO GLAD they don't. I finally but the bullet and paid more for these, cause I love the style, but never was able to justify the cost before (I had a rum or three). So glad I did that. After work I came home to these, and as I slipped my bare foot in, my foot entered (foot) heaven. Soft, luxurious, perfect fit, stylish, classy, laid-back, confident, awesome.

Worth every penny! Super comfortable with or with out socks. First rate quality. A classic boat shoe. Found these shoes run about a 1/2 size big. I normally wear a 11.5 but returned for an 11. Great shoe for dress casual or casual.

Most comfortable boat shoe that I have ever worn. Be aware that the length of the toe box, from tie to tip, is long relative to distance from tie to heel. It's not a defect. Just a style thing.

I have worn Sperry boat shoes for a number of years and when they begin to wear out they become my yard shoes. When that happens I order a new pair but a bit higher cost then the last. This time I wanted to Best of the Best. I can say as I slipped them on I knew I had arrived. These are the best pair of shoes I now own, great comfort, excellent fit, terrific looks, simply, just Great! You truly get what you pay for. Thanks. DJW
