Sperry Unisex-Child Authentic Original Boat Shoe

Purchased from my grandsons school shoesLooked good fit well and the cost was better than the store

So I am the unoffical spokesperson for sperry topsiders. I grew up in a small coastal town in Long Island where mostly everyone walked main street four corners in their boat shoes. I bought these for my son in black and khaki reminiscent of my hometown. Casual yet acceptable to wear with dressy pants they are versatile. My sons go to slip on shoe. The BEST!!!

Sperrys Rock." I got my first pair of Sperry's about 6 years ago, and they've been worn so much that they're starting to look pitiful, so I decided to order some new ones. I was surprised to find that Sperry has changed the Top-Sider from the last time I purchased them.Pros:- This version has a lot more cushion -- hooray!- It has fabric shoelaces. My old ones had leather shoelaces, which were a pain to tie and keep tied, so I'm pumped about this.- The toe area is a bit shorter. This works out okay for me because I thought the old ones kind-of made my feet look like boats (and I have a small foot!).Cons:- The sole has a thicker, lighter color than the old ones, and I'm not sure I'm a fan. I like the cushion, but I wish the sole blended in with the rest of the shoe like my old ones did. These shoes are also taller on my foot, if that makes any sense. (I wonder if it's because of the extra cushion?)- I'm definitely going to have to break these in. I don't remember having to break in my old ones, but maybe i just don't remember. In any case, the backs of them rub on my heel, so I know I'm going to have lots of blisters back there at first.I'm normally a size 6.5 or 7, and I ordered a 6.5 in these because that's what my old version was. I do think these are much more snug, but that may be because my old ones are worn out. :) Since I didn't know about the shortened toe bed, I'm wary of the fact that my left big toe just hits the end of the shoe. Not sure if I need to go up a half size or not.Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this shoe. I will walk around the house in them to see if I can break them in before wearing them outside. I'm on my feet all day at work, and I think the cushion on these will be perfect if I can just keep from getting blisters on my heel! "

A little larger in size than I expected. My son didn't like the laces and prefers his brown leather sperrys to these.

Shoes are perfect, and were shipped carefully in their own box inside the amazon box, and arrived quickly. Very pleased!

I buy Sperrys as my kids every day school uniform shoes every year. We’ve never had the issues my daughter has with keeping these tied. The laces are extremely thick leather, and do. It stayed tied no matter how you knot them. It is also practically impossible to replace the laces because they run through the entire shoe.

Got a pair of these for my son it fits perfect and I think it’s very versatile always love me some sperry

I originally purchased my normal size which is size 6 due to my wide feet. However, I had to size down half a size bc I had too much room in the shoe width & lengthwise. I wish I would have sized down a full size though, I've been wearing them for a month now and they have stretched out significantly - more than I expected. On the brighter side they are very comfortable to wear all day at work & I get a lot of compliments on them.
