Customer Reviews Sperry Gold Cup AO 2 Eye

First impression was that the width was a little narrow; but after just a couple of wearings, the shoe is already beginning to adjust itself to my feet. The buttery-soft leather is a major contributor to my confidence that these will end up being very comfortable shoes. I intend to wear them without socks. Seem to be extremely well made. I don't agree with another reviewer's comments about lack of breathability. Also don't agree that you should buy them smaller than normal, especially if you plan on wearing them with socks.

Excellent quality. Definitely worth the extra money over regular Top Siders. The leather inside and out is extremely soft. Much more comfortable than than the less expensive Top Siders. A little more difficult to slip on which I think is in part due to the different leathers used in this shoe.

These are higher quality than the regular "authentic" Top-Siders. They have a double cushioned sole, softer and more substantial lining, better/more stitching, gold rather than black eyelets. Are they worth $60 dollars more? I'm on the fence.

My 18 year old’s favorites. His third pair.

Great purchase!

If you're on the fence about switching to the gold from the standard don't think twice. These are way more comfortable out of the box. I had a standard pair for about 2 years that had seen better days and were pretty comfortable, except if you were walking any long distances. Out of the box that isn't a problem with the gold version. Better materials, better footbed, better comfort, same style, it seems well worth the premium.

Very stylish and comfortable

A little snug on width. Usually wear a reg, and probably needed a wide here. But they are incredibly comfortable and look great.

Classic style, never fades. Originally bought a 10 (used the size calculator comparing Brooks athletic shoes) but needed a 9.5. As usual, Zappos made the exchange effortless. Perfect for casual look at the office when you do not want to wear sneakers.

The construction of the Sperry Gold is top notch - clearly several cuts above the standard Authentic Originals (I've heard the Gold's compared to the construction quality of vintage Sperry's). I wear a men's 10 standard width in most brands, but found that these were quite snug both lengthwise and width-wise right out of the box. I've been breaking them in wearing the ultra-thin Sperry Skimmer socks - and I would highly recommend doing so. I think these would definitely induce some blisters if you were to try and break them in without socks.

Fabulous fit and feel right out of the box. Leather is very soft - no need to break in. Excellent old school style. Two tone easy to pair with belts.

Excellent fit and comfort right out of the box. Replaced a pair of Allen Edmonds topsiders that still wouldn't break in even after three years of use. The Gold Cup Sperrys are incredibly soft with a very good cushion insole. The leather is a bit thin compared to the Allen Edmonds so hopefully they'll hold up as well as AE does, as they're not much cheaper.

Perfect, great quality. Would purchase again. Super fast shipping too!

Very nice Boat Shoe for hubby (early Fathers' Day Gift). This was definitely a step up from the normal boat shoe. This had extra padding & it was a deluxe model plus he loved them. At first hesitate but once he tried it on, it was a Hit! He will get lots of use of these through out the summer months and beyond. Very happy with purchase!

Just wow! I have been wearing Sperry boat shoes for years. This is my first "Gold Cup" shoe. My last pair was Mako I think. Always liked the fit and how they looked. This shoe was super soft on the first wear. Nice soft feel but also has a decent amount of support. Hope it wears as well as my previous...

Most comfortable Boat Shoes ever! They are more expensive, but they are very very very comfy. However, not sure if that justifies the huge price difference.

I grew up wearing the old mocs that were harder to break in and the soles would turn yellow. They were uncomfortable to me because of the leather stiffness. When I saw these I had to pause for a second. That's alot of money for a pair of boat shoes! But then I went ahead and clicked on the order button. These things were so soft and it was unnecessary to break them in. They were already very comfortable. The foot bed is extremely soft and after a year it still conforms to my foot and hasn't flattened. The leather is still supple and scuffs wipe off without much effort. The soles are soft and I don't feel alot of bumps or things under them. These are my go to shoes, especially in the summer along with the Topsiders I own. Even though they cost more than the standard shoe, I am glad I bought them because I can see me wearing these for a long time.
