Fantastic shoes. Highly recommend!
I love these shoes so much, I bought them twice. Once about 10 years ago, and again today. Comfortable, stylish, and last forever. What more can you ask for? Pictured is the old dogs on the left, after a million miles, and my brand new ones on the right. Love ‘em!

Huge quality drop
Quality is way down from before! I've worn Sperrys for decades and they've always been well made. The last pair I bought from the Sperry store on Amazon had cheap thin leather laces and a much less durable sole and the color was lighter than before. I specifically bought the Sahara color. Since the company was bought last year the quality has dropped significantly. If you're able to find older stock you'll probably be fine. From reading countless blogs it seems that in 2024 Sperry was bought and changed their logo from a sailboat in a diamond (the well made shoes) to a sailboat in a circle (the new lower quality shoes). They also stopped putting the logo on the side of the shoe near the eyelets for the laces. Though this last pair I bought clearly showed the old logo in the Amazon pictures in both back of the shoe and on the side of the shoe, what they sent was the new version, the lower quality version. I'd give the Sperry store one more chance except that I also have bought and returned two other pair this fall in a different color. Both of these other pairs were actually the older better model but both time they sent the wrong size. If I buy Sperry again, and I really hope I can, it will only be from a brick and mortar store where I can see them in person first. I'm a huge Amazon customer buying almost everything here, but three trips to return three mistakes from the Amazon Sperry store has me feeling done.

A preppy classic at an affordable price!
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.
