Sperry Men's Gold Authentic Original™ Boat Shoe

Ahoy, fellow shoe enthusiasts! Let me tell you about my second voyage with Sperry Gold Cup boat shoes. These aren't just shoes; they're a lifestyle choice, a commitment to comfort, and apparently, a test of interspecies diplomacy! My first pair lasted a heroic 7 years before falling victim to my girlfriend's Chihuahua's discerning taste in leather goods. But fear not! This new pair promises even greater longevity. The Chihuahua and I have come to an understanding: I'm here to stay, and these shoes are off the menu! Now, let's talk comfort. As someone battling the dreaded Achilles tendonitis, I went bold and sized up. Best decision ever! These beauties fit like a dream right out of the box. No break-in period, no salt-water shenanigans needed. Just pure, unadulterated comfort from day one. The quality? Impeccable. The style? Timeless. The Chihuahua resistance? We're working on it, but looking promising! Whether you're navigating choppy waters or the treacherous terrain of a backyard BBQ, these shoes have got you covered. They're versatile, durable, and worth every penny. In conclusion, if you're looking for a shoe that can withstand the test of time, comfort, and small dog determination, look no further. These Sperry Gold Cup boat shoes are the real deal. Just remember, size up for extra comfort, and maybe invest in a chew toy for any opinionated canines in your life! Buy them, wear them, love them. Your feet (and possibly your girlfriend's Chihuahua) will thank you!

Absolutely love these shoes. Need a little breaking in but generally comfortable out of the box. Great for a casual summer look. Fit is spot on for me.

Sheep skin, memory foam and good craftsmanship. This is simply the best boat shoe there is. There is absolutely nothing that compares when it comes to comfort. It is like walking on a cloud. Yes, they cost more and they are WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY! They are correct sizes and available in wide for people with extra wide feet. You WILL get compliments.

Incredibly soft and comfortable. They look classy right out of the box. I’m looking forward to wearing these a lot, they go with anything. Gold Cup is the only way to go!

Shoes were exactly as described. Fit was perfect. Very comfortable on my feet especially with the lambskin inner lining (can't wear unlined or rough leather against my skin). The blue color goes well with shorts and pants. First time with Sperry and will continue if they stand up to normal wear. Update (July 8, 2002) - Still very comfortable. For those interested, I can compare these with the top of the line Gold Cup crafted in Maine by noting the differences. The GC A/O are softer and comfortable from day 1 due to the lambskin lining, thinner full grain leather and Ortholite footbed. The outsoles are more flexible because of the rubber material. The GC CiM have thicker Horween leather that is perforated on the interior with small holes to provide a smooth surface for your bare skin, a diffrent orthotic foot bed insert and Vibram outsole. They are firmer but should soften during use as they conform to your feet.

Great shoes. My size is between an 11.5 to 12 in men's. I decided to take a chance and go with the 11.5 for I like my shoes to fit a little snug rather than a little loose, also considering they were purely leather I assumed that they would stretch with time. Since arrival they are a little snug, but with time and wear, I presume they will adjust to my foot and will end being the perfect size. So far, they look and feel great and with further use I presume I will like them more and more (also, I am extremely picky with my footwear). In addition, I spent the extra money for the gold edition as I can usually get at least 5-10 years out of my shoes assuming they are decent quality. I had a Billabong shirt last me seven years with daily use, which is pretty incredible.......You pay for what you get. Too early for a thorough review, but as of now I can say I am pleased with my purchase.

The Gold Cup Sperry authentic original is definitely worth it over the regular model. The comfort and quality is far superior with much softer leather. Sperry’s fit snug at first but stretch over time as they break in and soften, so go at least a half size down. These shoes are built to last and are versatile. They can be worn in any season and be worn with a more casual style, preppy casual, or even dressed up. This color is a bit better for the spring and summer seasons but can easily be dressed up for the fall and winter seasons with the right color choices for the clothing.

It's great appearance and high quality shoes. Very durable in all types of weather '' worth the money ' soft leather ' durable and comfortable to wear ' fits well

Top. Mit der Grösse hatte ich Glück, passt genau. Erster Eindruck super Qualität und sehr bequem. Alles weitere wird sich zeigen wenn ich die Schuhe länger getragen habe.

Super cómodos son tal y como están en la imagen color exacto tal y como esta en la imagen solo un poquito grande casi nada pero todo esta perfecto me gustaron mucho

Muy buena calidad, comodidad, y apariencia

Wie erwartet, die Sperrys sind wieder super!

The leather is soft and very comfortable. Fit is great. It feels premium.
