Customer Reviews Sperry Mako 2 Eye

I bought a pair of these about 10 years ago and they were the most comfortable shoe I owned. They also had a removable padded insole that I could wash/squirt off after getting dirty or wet. These are not nearly as comfortable or convenient. They look great but only have a heel insole that is glued in. The front of my feet start to hurt after walking fairly short distances because of it. I've only had them a few days so hopefully they will break in nicely but given the lack of padding toward the top of my foot, I am not getting my hopes up.

These were my go to shoes until yesterday, after having these shoes for two years the sole blew out of the bottom of them. I do have other Sperry's that have lasted just as long or longer so pretty disappointed. But overall nice looking shoe and comfortable to wear even in hot weather!

I had to send this pair of shoes back, because defective stitching in the left shoe at the base of the padded tongue rubbed against my foot.

I expected them to fit the same as my #0197640 that has an excellent fit for my narrow foot 11.5 AA. (S). The toe area is too wide in the #0764027. I wear both shoes for casual wear and evening wear. Disappointed size/width is not the same in all styles.

I try to order my favorite Sperry topsider shoe every few years and hope to find the exact one again. Unfortunately, this was the closest match to my old pair but wasn't perfect. This time they have the extra orange tabs on the shoe (that I will try to stain to match the rest of the shoe) and the Amaretto color is much lighter than it used to be. The sole is more substantial also and the threads are a different color than the leather, not how I like it. It is a good shoe but it used to be a great shoe.

Don't purchase the coffee style as the pictures at time of purchase were limited to one and mis-represented the product. The initial picture shows a leather border around the top of the shoe but it is indeed fabric which wears much faster. Also, the green is much more prominate than shown and the badges in the photo are nearly hidden as displayed in the catalog. A regretful purchase!

The shoes appear to be substanderd in quality. Dyes used still transfer to my socks after a couple weeks of use. The materials used look cheep compared to Sabago boat shoes I previously owned. And last, but importent: "Made In China!"

This product is superior to other shoes on the market ..

I like the shoe, but the sizes seem to run bigger than what they would be in any other shoe. Also, according to the fad, I wear these without socks, and the shoe rubs against the back of my foot and cut both my feet. I now have to wear either socks or bandaids.

The stain that was used rubs off and discolors my socks, feet. Not what I have grown to expect from Sperry.

Since narrow widths are not in stores, I had to order on line. Received style, size & color ordered. The left shoe fit comfortably. The right caused pain on the top of my foot due to a thick spot where the tongue is attached to to the shoe top. Pain was so bad that I would not have bought that pair if in a store. Would have them bring out another pair that would fit properly. Would buy again only if in a store where I could try them on first. Was going to wear them on vacation. Not sure what to do now. Beat the lump with a hammer?

Not what I was expecting. Pretty average shoe. Nothing special.

They run a bit large. I tried to wear them a bit to break them but got terrible blister on the back of my heel. I'm reluctant to wear them again but will eventually. Overall not pleased with the look either. I wish I could have exchanged them at a brick and mortar store.

I have been buying Sperry boat shoes for over 30 years. I previously purchased this shoe (same model and size) in May of 2021...order #W1046521185. Those shoes were significantly larger and accommodated my orthotics. The shoes I purchased this year, order #W1052361631 are much smaller, stiffer and more difficult to break in... overall, a disappointment. Perhaps the size was mislabeled? I was once asked, "What will you do when you can't buy those shoes anymore?" My answer, "As long as there are boats (I don't own one), there will be Sperry boat shoes". Hopefully this feedback will provide an opportunity for quality improvement. Sincerely, Richard Ernst

I have worn Sperry boat shoes over the years and always found them to be top notch. Sadly, this shoe looks nice but the inside is not the shoe Sperry used to make. The insert stops half way toward the front of the shoe - which may be why they do not show the entire inside. As a result of the truncated insole, my toes feel uncomfortable after walking for ten minutes or so. I now wear them only inside. I will try a pair of the more expensive shoes to see if they have a full insole. Very sad to see a great product cheapened.

Can this shoe be made with a removable insole llike the Gold Cups are? Many of us wear orthotics and must use our own inserts to deal with old bad feet. These are just too shallow in the forefoot to accomodate my foot and the orthotic. Thanks. Tom Fisher, LOOONg time Sperry wearer (like since the days you made KUDUS)

This version of the Mako has an unfortunate major design flaw problem for me making them impossible to wear. The heel cup is extended up for some reason and physically contacts and rubs against my outer ankle bone (lateral maleolus) when walking... I thought they would break in and soften to the point where would be o.k. but no go. I try to wear them with socks but only slows down the rub and always end up switching to something else, so take that into consideration when ordering online or trying in store....

I very much like to wear boat shoes for the casual look. Like the look of this shoe and bought it. At first I didn't like the feel going on inside the shoe. Three different materials inside shoe plus the narrow foam lift under the heel. Needed to break them in. As I wore the shoe, it became noticeable that the shoe contact with ground was soft and not steady. To me the sole of the shoe is larger than the body and therefor does not provide good stability. You are aware of it while you are walking . It's good a looking shoe but not working for me. Their going in the Goodwill bag, hopefully they will find someone's feet who will be happy.

Bought online b/c out of stock in store. Probably my 5th pair of Sperry's but these were at least a size too small. I've worn an 11m for 35 years and these aren't even close. Unwearable.

After only a short time wearing the heels are already wearing down and coming apart..the soles are poorly constructed.

I love Sperry shoes but I have purchased 2 pairs of these shoes and both of them the heals squeak when you walk in them and their brand new. I will be sending this new pair back and hopefully they will get this problem fixed.

Everything is fine with the product. It is attractive and well made. The shoes make a strange clicking noise when walking on hard surfaces such as cement, tile or hardwood floors. It is loud and very irritating. This does not happen when walking on carpet.

The stitching of the outer heel leather (logo) piece was not level or correct. Left and right shoe of that piece did not even match each other. Very sloppy stitching. Also, laces were too short, and of very poor quality. Laces felt like a cheap imitation of what my last pair had. Returned shoes for a refund.
