Sperry Men's Authentic Original 2-Eye Boat Shoe

These are a super casual wear for my husband. He said they were comfortable. He did say they were a little narrow compared to previous pairs but it didn’t hinder the fit. He wears a 12 and the size was spot on.

Very nice shoe arrived in good condition,true to size but it does run narrow I lucked out I have a narrow foot

I love these shoes! The are very comfortable, but I can walk miles in them. They also slip on and off easily

The shoes are well-made and made with good materials. However, the color is darker than in the picture; it’s almost black.

I’ve always wanted a pair of top siders. I’ve been wearing a lot of moc-toe loafers and boots, but I didn’t have anything casual enough to wear with shorts and still look put together enough for a nice dinner. Pro’s: The toe box is nice and wide, toes. Lace system goes all the way around the back. It’s a true moccasin construction, stitched through to the sole. Very comfortable. More casual than a loafer, more formal than a sneaker. Very lightweight. A great value at $100. Cons: The sole is of course pretty thin, and I don’t know how comfortable these would be if you had to stand around all day in them. The insole, while contoured is a little thin and flimsy. I’d like to put my own insole in these, but It’s glued in. I’m. Sure they should pull out easy enough. I’m guessing they do that to keep the insole from shifting around. All in all, I’m going to stick with my 5, because I knew what they are when I ordered them, and they exceeded my expectations at $100. A very versatile, and comfortable preppy classic.

Update 9/28 I have been walking about a mile every day for a month on dirt trails and pebbly sand roads with daily abuse; no wear. I did apply shoe glue on the gap on around the bottom of the shoe... I am not sure if that makes a difference. I have not been kind to these shoes. Since I mostly only wear mocasins, I find these outside mocasins extremely cofortable. I like them. My guess is if the front of your shoe, that sticks out a bit, gets caught under anything; the shoe toe will fail. I have another "sale pair of Boat shoes. I have not worn them "yet" just to see if how the shoe fails. I am surpriesed that Sperry does not reply to the shoe failures seeing that they all have the same problem and most all 1/2 feedbacks have pictures. Getting a refund on these shoes would be impossible. Even from long time customers expericing these failures First Review The shoes are on sale and are exactly what I wear throught-out the year. However, several 2023 reviews show, with pictures, the soles coming apart within a month, I carefully inspected them. They look perfect and feel comfortable. So I will wait. I have shoe glues to fix them if they do start showing signs of falling apart. Hopefully this is an isolated problem. I will add to this review if the shoe develops problem.

I bought a pair of Sperry men’s Authentic Original 2-Eye Boat Shoes in amaretto color through Amazon in late June. I have since worn them less than a dozen times. They still look brand new. I went to put them on the other day and noticed the toe stitching had failed and that the soul is both cracked and separated on the left shoe. Unfortunately, Amazons return policy is limited to 60 day for shoes. So, I attempted a warranty claim directly through Sperry. Sperry’s website states: “ Through our iconic silhouettes, we take great pride in offering our customers products made with attention to detail and unique craftsmanship, and have the upmost respect for all of our partners, associates, and, of course, you the consumer. What is considered a defective product? Sole, separation, stitching coming undone, leather, bunching, or discoloration, toe or soul detachment. If your footwear is defective within twelve (12) months of the date of purchase, we will make it right. Products purchased from other retailers, including department stores should be returned to the store from which it was originally purchased and will be subject to their warranty policy”. Sperry will not honor this warranty because they were sold through Amazon. DO NOT PURCHASE SPERRY PRODUCTS THROUGH AMAZON! This is just another example of a formally great company with bulletproof products (I currently have two other pair of Sperry boat shoes in different colors and iterations that I’ve had for years) finding a loophole to screw consumers and avoid having to replace a now inferior and cheap product line.

I bought these again for my husband because he says they are the best fitting and comfortable shoe. I don’t mess with a good thing.

Size is mentioned not correct

Lovely shoe.. Been wearing these since the 90's.. It's pretty much the only shoe I wear. Proper Sperry's last for ages (years). Cheaper imitations fail as quick as 6 months. Once they've been worn for a few weeks, they feel like comfortable slippers. Never had a shoe more comfortable. They are that good I only wear socks when it's cold. My advice - get two (or more) pairs and never wear a pair two days in a row. collectively, they last longer as the days 'breather' lets the shoe recover. The pair these are replacing are over 4 years old, been worn every other day and it's only that the sole is getting a little thin that demands the replacement. Watch out for the sizing! the shoes are labelled (in white inside the tongue) in US sizes. UK sizes are one down (UK10=US11) I normally a UK10/Wide, whereas in these I'm a US11/Medium.. Any decent shopping centre (eg: Bluewater) will have these in-store for you to try on. Go for the slightly snug fit as the shoe will stretch slightly to perfectly mould your feet. I find getting them wet/damp and wearing them for the day results in a perfect fit. (only advised in warm weather) Never had the stitching come apart Never had the sole split Never had the sole come away from the shoe

Excellent shoes and a total bargain price.

Su calidad del acabado.

Excellent boat shoes. Bought them about a month before a sailing holiday to break them in. Just got back from that holiday and can happily recommend them. The heel was a little painful at first due to an overlap of leather - I wore socks with them until the holiday. Tried them without socks while away and have no heel issues any more. Now they are broken in they are very comfortable. That said, if I was going on a long walk with them I would still wear socks to avoid potential blisters. With no-show socks no one even sees them anyway. The laces tend to stay tied better than other leather laces have done with other makes of boat shoe. The shoes take longer to dry than my previous pair of Timberland boat shoes however the Sperrys are more of a firm leather than the Tims (which were more of a soft nubuck leather). After a complete soaking in the sea they took about a day to dry. Not too bad really. Overall, these boat shoes have the classic look, they are well made, and once broken in they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them.
