Customer Reviews Sperry Gold Cup Boat

These are way overpriced. I have worn Sperry shoes for years, like over 30, and I had thought I could avoid the cheap low end shoes they make now by buying these. But for the price, I expected that these would fit accurately, and have some support. Nope, nada. And who really cares whether they gold plate the eyelets? As for whether they last, I did not keep them long enough. One trip around the inside of the house an back to Zappos they went.

I own two pairs of the Sperry TopSider Gold Boat w/ASV. The leather of the lighter color almost has the texture of a football or basketball. The Darker color is also nice. My main issue with these shoes are how they wear in. The top side leather develops ugly crinkles and waves in the leather. Not acceptable for this price point.

Have worn this pair of shoes for 2 years, very comfortable and anti-slippery is a big plus during the raining season. However, one sole was detached days ago, feel little bit disappointed with Sperry quality.

Quality/design issues - seems like it's not the quality Sperry Gold was known for. The issues: Footbed is in 2 parts that split close to the arch area with a different height and space that can be felt even with the insert pad. It's like a bar under your foot. This is the 2nd of the same model that have this issue but even between these pairs, there's a difference in the space and height of this issue. So bad quality and no consistency and then a thin insert pad compounds the discomfort. Both are being returned and I'm thankful for Zappos easy returns and great customer support when I called them.

This shoe is a pale imitation of the shoe that was made in America. It has no style and little arch support. I'm returning them.

This shoe is anew model. Not the quality of the one last year. I bought two pairs last year and have worn them every day. Best shoes I’ve owned. Ordered this one and they made a lot of changes. Leather not as soft. Heel cushion missing. Sides higher touching my heel. Sole harder. Sent them back. Trying to find older model.

Delivery time was as promised. Style was correct and Size was correct for both shoes. Problem: Two right foot shoes. I only have one right foot. I returned the shoes. I couldn't find any place on line to make a comment except this venue.

There was a hole in the shoe. Separation occurred along a seam.

There are a ton of great reviews for these shoes. I would have written a five star review too, if I had done so soon after buying. Let me tell you - these will not last a year, and the heavy price tag compels me to write a one star review. Within six months of wearing them about four days per week to work, the inner liner started to tear and basically disintegrate at the heel area. The deer skin lining is super luxurious and comfortable and soft, but it simply will not last. Additionally, the sole started to separate from the shoe at the toes. I did wear these with Merino wool socks. Maybe if I had only gone barefoot the wear would have been mitigated. But still - come on. These are the best looking and most comfortable Sperry shoes that I have ever worn. If they had lasted a little longer, I would buy another pair.
