Lasting on sandy/dirt roats with no wear
Update 9/28I 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 failuresFirst ReviewThe 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.

High quality and comfortable from first day.
Comfortable to wear without socks. The insole and outsole are firm but flexible and supportive. I am glad I bought 2 pairs

Nice looking and sturdy
I loved the look but my roomie wasn’t crazy about the color. It’s a rich color and I would recommend. Bought another pair for my brother in this color.

Just got this shoe, looks nice and fits comfortably
I won’t be able to give a fully detailed review because I just picked this shoe up about two hours ago. This will be more of a first impressions review.I’ve wanted to get Sperrys for a while now because a huge percentage of my friends have them, I just never got around to it. This weekend I was waiting in the shoe section for someone so I tried on some Sperrys. I liked the way they looked, so I decided to go ahead and order some a few days ago.I debated for two days between the Sahara and Oatmeal color. I ended up getting the Sahara, and I could not be more pleased with the color. I was hesitant about getting it because of the Amazon picture, which is misleading. In the picture the color looks like a reddish dark brown, but in reality they are a more tan version of the Oatmeal, or a light brown, which is exactly the color I wanted.I also ordered them a half size below my usual shoe size because that was the overwhelming suggestion in what I had heard about Sperrys. People said they stretch out when you break them in, so it is recommended to get them in a smaller size than your usual size. After I got them, I tried them on and walked around for a bit and they were pretty comfortable. They will need some breaking in, but for day one they were pretty good. Also, I was pleased with how they look because I was wearing some stupid looking pants today for a Halloween prank and even on those the shoes looked pretty good so they must look nice when worn with normal pants.The best part about these shoes is that you can wear them with pretty much anything and they will look nice. I have seen my friends wearing them with jeans or khakis and they look good. They are casual enough that you can slip them on with some jeans or shorts, but not so casual that you can’t wear them khakis. My friends also wear them with khakis and they look good on those too.Overall, these shoes look good and from what I can tell, they are comfortable so far. As for whether they are worth the price tag (usually around $80 I think, mine were $75), that just varies from person to person. In my case I had a bunch of Amazon money from gift cards I’ve gotten, so it wasn’t a big deal. Also, I really like the way they look so in my opinion my purchase was worth it. For a pair of shoes $80 is fairly expensive, so I cannot give a definite yes or no answer as to whether or not they are worth it. If you are looking for comfortable shoes that can go with many different types of clothing, definitely consider these shoes.

Bad design and workmanship. Cheap.
Since ALDO bought Sperry in April 24, the Sperry’s are crap. Bad quality, bad bad new design, CS even lied to me saying the new design was Sperry’s.Why would Sperry do a new design when the other is perfect for 50 years….It’s ALDO Shoe design. ALDO, is a crappy company, with bad quality and design.I had the same problem with the stitching pulling out on the toe…….Save your money, look harder, these new ALDO Sperrys are pure junk, totally cheap, bad workmanship bad design bad company.What kind of company puts the comment on the shipping slip in the box saying there is no cussing, yelling at CS or abusive talk, only if its crap they are selling. I have worn Sperry’s for 30 years with no problem, EVER. I bout 3 pairs and had to totally rework all of them. took out inside soles, cut out the lace, relaced them like they are supposed to be and one pair had to reglue the sole and cut out that stupid elastic inside, all just bad, and sad…….ALDO, you have always been junk……Im glad to see your continuing your tradition. You guys wont print this, “Sin Pelotas” I grew up in Wisconsin and Virginia on the water and scuba diving now…..pathetic product. NOW !!!

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 apartNever had the sole splitNever had the sole come away from the shoe
