Product Description

Best known for boat shoes that have logged more miles of open ocean than any other brand, the Sperry Top-Sider story began on a raw winter day in New England. When avid sailor and hobbyist inventor Paul Sperry let his dog Prince out for his daily exercise, he noticed that the cocker spaniel was remarkably stable, even at a full run on the snow covered, icy crust. Paul raced back to his laboratory to begin working. Using pieces of rubber, a razor blade, and an ordinary sneaker, Paul had soon pieced together the prototype of the world's first boat shoe. Subsequent designs yielded the original Sperry Top-Sider now known as the Authentic Original. Since 1935, Sperry Top-Sider has been the leading brand of footwear for those who love the water. From its introduction of the world's first siped rubber outsole for non-marking traction, to its advanced technical fabrication to combat the elements, Sperry Top-Sider remains the vanguard of high-performance amphibious footwear. Available around the globe in fine independent, marine, and department stores, Sperry Top-Sider is the official footwear of the U.S. Sailing Team, Zodiac Academy, the World Billfish Series, and the Shimano Fishing Tour.

True, these do run a little small, so I just order a size up. They are super cute and good quality. My son wears them twice a week for about a year, until they get too small. He likes them and they go with everything. This is the second pair I've purchased.

My 5 year old’s foot is very narrow and most loafer-style shoes are too wide for him. These fit great and looked so cute on him! We chose the 1 day shipping so that we would have in time for Easter and the shoes arrived promptly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice shoe, but didn't care for quality of shoe or size
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2016

These sperry's were nice, however when I received them the quality of the shoes wasn't what I expected. My son have kind of slender feet and the shoes were to tight. It didn't seem like it was a 7. I should have ordered these in an 8 or 9. I love the style of the shoe in the picture presented.

4.0 out of 5 stars Small in width but beautiful quality and smart
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 9, 2014
Verified Purchase
I've ordered and returned these before as they were very small in width. Since my boy has grown taller and his feet have gone smaller in width I reordered them. Slightly lighter in colour than expected, like a cappuccino colour, would've preferred them in darker shade but they are beautiful shoes. They still aren't wide enough but because of the soft leather they have stretched to fit and the soles look extremely comfortable. Apart from the width, they look like a really good quality shoe and very smart.

Very happy that we bought these shoes for our son. Fit well. Comfortable for a 3 year old to run in, which he inevitably will do. And, nice enough that he can wear them with his sport coat for a dressier occasion, as well as for going to kindergarten. Very pleased!

Schöne Schuhe auch gerade jetzt für den Übergang. Habe sie in Größe 30,5 für meine Tochter gekauft, sie passen gut und fallen auch nicht zu klein aus. Sehr weiches Leder und eine schöne leichte biegsame Sohle. Können bestimmt auch mal barfuß getragen werden.

4.0 out of 5 stars ... street when they wear these shoes to comment how nice they are

Men will stop my sons on the street when they wear these shoes to comment how nice they are :) Excellent quality and so cute! Being leather, I think they may take a little bit of time to work in and be as comfortable as my sons hope. They don't pick these shoes first but also don't complain if I encourage them to wear them and love all the compliments once they have them on!
