SperryMen's Authentic Original 2-Eye Boat Shoe

Genuine Sperry Topsiders. Comfortable and high quality construction. Short break in period. True to size. Perfect for sailing or casual wear. I recommend them.

This is for the”Sperry Men's Authentic Original Plushwave Boat Shoe” ! They are great ! Some reviews say they are cheap and some said they fell apart! I have noticed in past reviews on Amazon. The reviews are not for the exact item and for an item similar. So this is my review for “ Sperry Men's Authentic Original Plushwave Boat Shoe” ! They are great! A few reviews said they are cheap.They are not cheap! Sperry has a newer high end “ gold cup”, maybe that’s what they were expecting? These are the plain Jane original boat shoe! They have improved with a newer material(EVA, I believe) for the heelcup! Makes them more comfortable! Other than that they’re just like the ones from the 70s and 80s I used to get all the time! I’ve worn for three weeks now. They are durable! No, stitching, coming undone ! Or rubber soles ripping! The real leather is stretching, and the shoe is becoming more and more comfortable with wear! I’m writing this review because I was hesitant on ordering these with the other bad reviews! The pair of” Sperry Men's Authentic Original Plushwave Boat Shoe” I receive have been fantastic! Will be buying again in the future! When these wear out!

Got these on Prime Day right before my vacation for 50% off! Can't go wrong with the Sperry boat shoe. It's a classic and is perfect for any spring/summer day.

I've been wearing Sperry Topsiders for awhile. Usually I get a year or two out of them before the threads holding the uppers to the sole wear through and leave the toe flopping around. By then the uppers are pretty worn-looking and I don't mind replacing them. I bought the tan with white soles this time (usually tan with gum soles) and quality was worse than usual. This time, the rubber on the sole itself tore, releasing the threads that hold the upper to the sole, essentially tearing the front of the sole off of the shoe. This happened after fewer than 10 wears, mostly walking to and from the office from the parking garage.Maybe it's the white sole that's different because I've never had that problem with gum soles. Maybe it's just this pair because this particular failure has never happened with the others that I've owned. Whatever the case, something has changed with recent manufacturing and I wish it would be unchanged. Pity that you can't trust that the quality is what it used to be, especially as the cost of the shoes has risen significantly over the last decade or so.

Just got mine today & they look authentic. did a lot of research so will try to put everything I looked for in this review.1st: the fit: it's pretty common knowledge to order half a size down, I usually wear 11 & ordered these in 10.5, they fit great, the leather will stretch with time so it's probably a good idea to order half a size down.2nd: authenticity: They look original to me, checked everything, a good surprise is that these were made in Dominican republic & not in China. I bought them through Amazon and the color is Sahara. the quality should be the same regardless of where they're manufactured but we all know that isn't always the case, so that was pretty good.3rd: QUALITY: MOST IMPORTANT PART: obviously it's still the 1st day so can't comment on longevity but the sperry quality is fabulous and these look pretty much the real deal, the only thing is that I'm a niptick type of guy and I examined these thoroughly since they're an internet buy. the stitching on one of the soles was subpar, and while you can't actually see it while worn, you'd expect better. the left tongue was damaged and scratched by being pressed by the laces, while it's not a very big deal as well, again, with this brand and price you'd expect better.4th:Color: got the Sahara since it's the most popular. Something noteworthy is that I thought Sahara and nutmeg are the same thing since I couldn't find the 2 colors in the same store at the same time & figured it must be 2 names for the same thing, apparently sahara is darker, I eventually saw both at Macy's, the 10.5 size at Macy's was a bit more roomy as well btw, not 100% sure, but I think so.BOTTOM LINE: You know what to expect with buying a top sider, it IS the real deal if you're afraid, I'm just not 100% sure if these are considered an outlet version with very minor defects or if that even the ones on the original website have these sometimes. if you're buying some odd color with a bargain price here, go ahead and buy it, if you're buying one of the main colors (Sahara,Tan,etc) like I did with the same price as Macy's and Sperry's website for 95$ then I'd probably buy them from an actual store next time, but if you don't want the hassle then you can go ahead, I'll try these for the day but I'll probably ened up keeping and enjoying these. Hope I helped!
