Customer Reviews Sperry Gold Cup AO 2 Eye

Although very comfortable the picture is shown with a cross lace and that is not how they ship. These are full lace shoes that need to be tied and is deceptive to show them otherwise.

I love sperry. Probably had over a dozen pairs. Gold cups disappoint for being twice the price. Sure they have an extra cushion but that creates a seam across the middle of the shoe right behind the ball of the foot that is agitated. It makes it uncomfortable to walk. I just sent a request to support, let's see if this is normal amd how they handle it. Otherwise I'll go back to the classics at the regular price. Thanks! This is a pair I've worn about six times, bought for the return to the office.

I have owned Gold Cup Sperry's for many years but the recent gold cup boat shoe was very uncomfortable and did not breathe. My past pairs were the most comfortable shoes ever but seems like something changed in either the manufacturing process or the materials. Too bad, it was a great shoe.

I have been buying Sperry boat shoes for about 15 years, and have been buying this Gold Cup model for about 5 years after there was a decline in the quality of the leather used for the "base" model shoes. The pair of Gold Cup shoes I bought about a year ago did not break-in or wear as well as previous pairs I have owned and within a year of what I would call "normal seasonal wear" the upper began to separate from the lower part of the shoe. I then purchased a brand new pair which I received about a month ago. Within 2-3 weeks of pretty light wear a strip of the "sole border" de-laminated from the rest of the sole and I could already see signs that he upper was beginning to separate from the sole of the shoe. Unfortunately Sperry shoes seem to be declining in quality over the years and I'll most likely be moving to another brand.

my ten year old shoes are completely different quality. the new ones have average quality leather that was much thinner. The inside of the shoe was not near as comfortable as the old ones. I am sad to see Sperry sourced a lower quality product now for their high end shoes. Looks like I will by cheaper shoes and replace them more often.

I bought these shoes after owning multiple different pairs of Sperry Gold Cups and enjoying the comfort that they provide. However, these shoes would "bleed" the brown dye onto my feet/socks after wearing them. I contacted customer support and they claim that this is not a manufacturing defect and is not covered by warranty. Unless you want your socks to be dyed brown, do not purchase. It is sad to see another company not stand behind their products (especially the Gold Cup line) and I will be looking elsewhere in the future.
