Customer Reviews Sperry Saltwater

They're great for keeping my feet warm but, for the most expensive shoes I've ever bought they have the cheapest, thinnest, most useless sole I've ever come across, they're as thin a paper and slip in and out as they quickly deteriorate into the nothing that they almost were to start with.

A plastic coating started peeling off the first day I wore them to run a few errands. Worn twice now and they look like they're shedding a layer of skin. Is this normal? I've googled it and can't find anything. My other Sperry's didn't do this so I suspect it is a defect.

I already had a pair of these and love them. So I ordered another pair in a different color. What a disappointment. The zipper on one of them sticks and is hard to use. And the top of the boots is much narrower that my original pair. This is why I hate ordering on line. You can never be sure what you're getting.

Really cute style shoes but the zipper on the side makes it hard to put your foot in I normally wear a 8. 1/2 so that's what I ordered a 8.5 Wide and I still had a really hard time getting my foot into the boot.

I absolutely loved my boots until the rubber on the top of my boot came apart at the seam and rendered them useless. I wear these boots once a week, sometimes twice, when I clean out my chicken coup. They should have lasted much longer. Very disappointed I only had them for 8 months and wore them a limited amount of time.

While these boots are cute, I have had an awful experience with them. First pair they sent me were not waterproof at ALL- my feet got more wet in these boots than they would in a pair of sneakers during moderate rainfall. After emailing them, sperry sent me a new pair. Upon inspection this new pair was constructed COMPLETELY different. Taking out the sole, you could see the stitching was different (neatly down the middle rather than messily done around the sides), the lining was thicker, and the boot was clearly MUCH higher quality. Seems like a pretty shady thing for the company to do. While the new boots were better, I still feel as though my socks are a little damp coming out of them. Overall I would not recommend- doesn't seem like a trustworthy company and extremely overpriced for a subpar rainboot that won't even keep your feet entirely dry.

These are really cute and I have had mine for a few years and tried to make them work. Every time I wear them to do a lot of walking the area where the rubber and the leather meet rubs my food raw. It sticks out and has totally dug through the fabric. I thought it was better after I put duck tape over it, but my feet have already developed blisters halfway through the day. Also, these get too cold when there is more than an inch of snow and I really only recommend for rain or light snow.

I got my sperry boots as a Christmas gift and the first day I started wearing them the shiny part started to peel and got very easily scuffed. They are also really hard to clean off. Some of the people I know have them too ask theirs don't do what mine did...

Really looked forward to receiving these, expecting they would meet my need for a cold-weather rain boot for a long time to come. I ordered my regular size, but find they are too big, even when worn with heavy socks. Sorry to say, I'm disappointed and regret not testing them INSIDE before wearing them OUTSIDE.

I hate to write a negative review about these boots because they are super cute and very comfortable but I am very disappointed because I bought these to wear in the snow and rain, I only wore them about a dozen times last season and when I pulled them out to wear this season, the zipper is almost like it's rusty and it is very difficult to zip up and down :(

I purchased these in the brown/olive color combo and love the fit and the look. Unfortunately, if you're looking for something that will keep your feet dry in the rain - these are not the boots. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the production of this particular color combo but the tops of my socks are constantly wet right where the olive textured canvas meets the rubber part of the boot. I think its water coming in through the seams at that particular spot and occurs in both shoes. I'd opt for a different boot if you're looking for something to keep your feet dry. Unfortunately I'm stuck with these and wet socks.

Need to exchange but says I can't. Need to return and rebuy. Big pain.

I was excited when I saw they had the customizable version of these boots because I really wanted an all black boot. I've had these boots for two & a half months & they are basically useless as water seeps in up by the toe box. I'm really disappointed. They look great, but the quality is just not there for the amount of money you pay.

I LOVE the look and feel of these shoes. They don't have any arch support but they are still very comfortable and warmer than I expected based on some of the reviews I read. (My feet got HOT wearing them in 40 degree weather). Unfortunately the boots I received are NOT waterproof! I wore them in rain/slush for the first time today and my toes are soaked from where water seeped in through the seams in the front. I was walking on sidewalks that had maybe 2 inches of occasional slush, nothing extreme. I'm really disappointed and I'm hoping this was a random defect as opposed to the norm. I just contacted customer service through the website and I'm hoping they are helpful.

I ordered the boots and I initially loved them even though it didn't keep my feet warm I like how they looked and taht I could wear them I bathe rainy weather. I had these boots for two months and the bottom part came undone from the bottom part. Upon further examination of the boots I just saw a lot if loose strings and uneven material sewings. If the boot is suppose to be raw cut then I can live with that if it was stated in the description. Over all I don't think I'd buy these boots again.

I have owned these for two years now, and every day that it snows, I regret my purchase. These work great in the rain, and are very stylish, but the thick lining of the boot stops around the ankle, leaving your feet to only be insulated by a very thin fabric & rubber. If you are intending to use these to walk through snow, know that your feet will be as cold as the snow you are walking in. If you are purchasing for rain boots, I would recommend.

The tread becomes very slippery on wet ground. Seems to have lost its traction within days even though the tread doesn't look worn out. Also, they fit when I first got them, but they've gotten a whole size too loose within a week.

I love the classic look of these boots, and I was so excited when I first bought them, and through the first few months of wear. After wearing them consistently through one Portland winter (mostly rain with a couple days of snow), the soles had lost a lot of their tread. Since the heel of the shoe is actually hollow, rather than a solid rubber heel, when they wore down there were holes that let water come through. This meant I could no longer wear them in the rain, which was really disappointing, and rendered them pretty useless for me. For the price, and when the description promises that you can "traverse cold, rainy or rugged landscapes and embrace the elements," as well as boasting "long life," I really expected to last more than one season.

I've had these boots for a little over a year now and mostly wear them in the rain and snow and I have to say I'm very disappointed with how they hold up in the snow. As soon as I step into the snow my feet basically freeze and eventually go numb from being too cold. Love the style of the boots but not worth the price.

I love everything about this boot, except its waterproof claim. I received these boots for Christmas of Dec. 2017. I wore them a handful of times between then and March of this year. Primarily in snowy weather. I thought I had imagined having wet feet every time I used them in wet weather, however I pulled them out yesterday for the first snow of the season, and my feet were definitely wet when I took the boots off after walking around in the snow. It says right on the sewn in tag on my boots "waterproof rubber boot" My boots are definitely not waterproof. I don't know if I got a faulty pair, but I certainly expected better quality from Sperry and I am pretty disappointed in my pair of boots, especially as they were purchased specifically for wet weather situations. I have other pairs of Sperry shoes that have lasted me years, yet I've worn these boots maybe 8 times, if that, and they are leaking.

I bought these hoping they would last like my other Sperry shoes however I was wrong. I only got about 2 winters out of them and I did not think a heel could split until my foot was completely soaked. The boot started to crack along the side of the seam and I have two holes on the bottom on my boot. I love Sperry products therefore I was disappointed I only got about 5 months over the last two years out of them.

I bought these boots about 15 months ago and the rubber part tore open yesterday and separated from the sole. This seems like an extremely short shelf life for these boots. I own several other pairs of Sperry shoes (both boots and boat shoes) and have not experienced this poor quality before. I expect better quality from Sperry. Very disappointed.
