 30-40 Year veteran August 26, 2008
My new Topsiders have a better initial fit than all my previous pairs. I guess being produced in China has slightly changed the dimensions, in my case to the better.
This pair is the two-toned version (brown & black) which are best for traveling as they will go with any color clothing. They used to have another travel advantage as after 9/11 they were the only pair of shoes you didn't have to remove at airport security. The TSA folks knew they had no arch support and wouldn't set off the metal detectors. Unfortunately, during the last year the TSA now insist all shoes go through the x-ray machine.
I have owned many pair in the past several decades including the Gold Cup (which are the most comfortable with the best support - although a bit pricey) and this is the first pair that make my feet black when not wearing socks. Evidently, the dye they are now using is not colorfast. They have not been wet or worn on the water yet, they have only been worn in an urban environment. Hopefully, with age they will stop bleeding.
Otherwise, if they can correct the dye problem, they appear to be well constructed even though they are now made in China.
 Sperry's still the best. July 20, 2008
In the last 30 years, I've owned 3 pair of Sperry Topsiders -- that's how long they last.... and I wear them a lot. This will be my 4th pair. They're great on the boat, they're great at the office, and I even wear them practicing taiji (flat bottoms and fit are perfect).
Great shoe June 27, 2008
Very good experience ordering from Amazon.com which went through a sub-contractor. But I have worn Sperry Top Siders for more that 40 years now and have never gotten a flawed pair of shoes. They are the highest quality of all boat shoes.
Great casual shoe for land and sea June 9, 2008
I'm a Sperry Top-Sider fan. A great shoe for casual dress or boating activities. Quality, fit, comfort, looks....all there, pure and simple. A great product!
Great Summer Shoes June 2, 2008
I've been a Top-Siders fan for years. The shoe does have an excellent grip on wet surfaces. The look is also great and they are comfortable. The price on this purchase came in less than other sites, arrived on time and in good condition. Overall, a great buying experience.
