Great fit, extremely comfortable, high quality materials. I really like the wider toe box because as I have gotten older my feet have gotten wider. My toes don't get squished together. These are worth the extra money over the regular Sperry Top-Sider line.

These are great shoes--a little pricey but worth it. They are more comfortable for all-day wear than more basic Topsiders, and look better longer, too. They are made for boating but are good on land, too.

My previous pair of boat shoes were made by Mephisto. The Mephisto shoe was well made,but, I found them to be very wide. The Gold Cup is a great shoe. It is very well made and is very comfortable. The fit of the shoe is excellent. I think it is a better shoe than the Mephisto and is less expensive.

This Sperry Top-Sider Gold Cup 2 eye shoe is very well made with quality materials. The shoe is light weight and well cushioned, making a great walking shoe. The shoe is a fairly broad cut especially from the middle of the shoe all the way through to the heel. I would not say that it\'s loose, just a little extra room compared to the same size shoe in the Sperry Authentic Original style, which is a little more slender cut.

I've always had Top Siders, and when my most recent pair gave way after many years of service, I thought I'd try these slightly more sturdy and ergonomic pair. The Vibram soles sold me - I have a pair of Timberland walking/hiking shoes with Vibram soles, and they're incredibly supportive and comfortable. These shoes are also part of their "Gold Cup" collection, which means better leather and construction from what I gather. These shoes fit and feel great. Even with my orthotics in them, my feet fit in them perfectly. The soles really grip the ground, so you'll never worry about taking a slip on the dock or anywhere else you may be wearing these.

The shoe has a smart look and is a good fit. It is easy to slip on and off, and is very comfortable to wear. It’s the best boat I have ever owned.

The Gold Cup boat shoes are top of the line. The deerskin linings are soft and can be worn without socks from day one. I find these to be more comfortable than Sperry's original boat shoe. They provide more cushion and mold to your feet quicker. The vibram outsole really makes a difference. Within two weeks the shoes were broken in and felt like old favorites. The Zappos service is first rate. I ordered a ten and needed a 9.5. Zappos sent the new pair overnight before I sent the old ones back. I was able to try both pairs and send back the 10. Thank you Zappos.

I have purchased several times from Zappo. I am most impressed with the speed which the order is processed. I have received shipments in one and two days with normal Zappo delivery. I have always received exactly what I ordered and have not had the opportunity to return an it item.

Having helped my father build a fishing station, I have been around water a long time. A friend introduced me to sailing,with a 19' Lightning, on the Great South Bay, L.I. Discovered Sperry cup 15 years ago. The cup design where the shoes' sole and upper join is tightly stitched and glued to keep water out resulting in dry feet. The Sperry Top-Sider Gold Cup 2 Eye is a very handsome boat shoe. Already, I've received several compliments on its good appearance and quality look. I selected color Amaretta and am very pleased.

Broke down and bought the best Sperry Top Siders, I am glad I did!! After a limited break in, they feel so good! Very high quality fit and finish. If you like Sperrys you will love these.

These are the best boat shoes and most comfortable shoes I have ever owned, I now have three pair of Gold Cups. They are so comfortable I hardly were any of my other shoes. Great quality and durability, very soft leather inside and out. For extra cushioning, I put a pair of foam insoles under the memory foam deer skin insoles. A bit pricey, but after you’ve worn them, you won’t care.

Let me start off by saying I have been a Zappos customer for many years and I truly believe they are the best website to buy shoes. I own many pairs of boat shoes and the Sperry Gold Cup series is by far the most comfortable. This is my second pair of this particular shoe and I can only say they are the best boat shoes I have ever purchased. If you are sitting there wondering if the cost is worth it, I can truly say it is. One caveat. I wear the wide size for all of my other shoes but I find the medium size is better for me with this Sperry shoe. I think many people will find the wide size in this particular shoe to be a little too wide. I wear this shoe without socks all summer and it just does not get any better.

Excellent service... shoes arrived promptly and as ordered. I returned one pair without any problem. I’ll be buying from you again. Length of the Sperry Gold Cup is accurate, but the E-width is marginal and the toe box is small. Materials are good quality, but not rugged. These are more appropriate for casual dress than as working boat-shoes. Thanks...

The Keen (Portsmouth) is a better fit in E width and is more durable. Holds up well around the water. Sole is black, but is non-marking and does not slip.

Deerskin -
Deerskin seems to expand more than ordinary leather. I would suggest a 1/2 size smaller.
EXCELLENT SERVICE!

I have the penny gold cup and it is a 1/2 size smaller than my normal and it is perfect.

Great Boat Shoe with Memory Foam Insoles -
I purchased these shoes for my husband since he has a bad heel from an old break. He loves boat shoes but needs excellent arch support. He is very pleased with these shoes and says that they ameliorate the pain a bit. The trick I found with the Sperry Gold Cup is to make sure you get the one with the memory foam insole. Not all Gold Cups have it.

Sperry Top-Sider's Gold Cup 2 Eye -
The "Most" comfortable boat shoe I have ever purchased, true to size and width and excellent arch support. As a avid wearer of boat shoes with a current inventory of about 15 pair in my closet these beat any other pair of Sperrys, Timberland or Rockports I have purchased. A very unique style and sophisticated look, the most I have ever spent on a pair of boat shoes but worth every penny. Past purchases never had deer skin lining or triple density memory foam not to mention the 18 karate gold eyelets and hardware for corrosion resistance. Sperry you have hit a home run with this one, Thanks

Takes the boat shoe to a new level of excellence -
Finally, a boat shoe that can serve as a dress shoe as well. Sturdy leather combined with great styling and dark soles make for durable, tough, but dressy shoes. The fit is perfect for my wide feet. These are not knockabout shoes. For that I still have my traditional Sperry boat shoes. To keep the laces from coming untied, you have to pull on the leather very tightly. Over time that problem will go away as the leather hardens up and keeps it shape better where one ties the knot.

I'm wearing them now -
UPS just delivered these amazing shoes and I've got them on, barefoot. Great fit and very comfortable. Nice looking shoe, probably too nice. (I want to dirty them up.) I'm sailing down to Mexico next month and I wanted to get these with enough time to break them in. I don't think that'll be necessary.
I bought the Amaretto color and they're the shade of a Maduro cigar...I'll report back after the Mexico trip.

Most comfortable boat shoe I've owned-this is my second pair of this design, shoestring often comes untied, greige is very light colored so get some protective coating.

I was very hesitant in getting rid of my old pair; had them many years. But my puppy tore the inserts out. Got this new pair and absolutely love them. What a difference in wearing them. Love, love them. I can’t wait till they’re broken in. This is the fourth pair of shoes I purchased from Zappos and love the service.

I Think I'm In Love -
I purchased this outstanding shoe for my husband who has been wearing Sperry Boat Shoes for years. The look and style of the shoes is extraordinary -- very attractive. My husband put on the shoes, walked around the house, then proclaimed, "I think I'm in love." He has wide feet and the D fit him true to size. This is by far, the best looking boat shoe Sperry has put out to date. Sturdy, good looking and functional. These shoes will provide many years of terrific, stylish wear. As usual, Zappos service was phenomenal -- overnight shipping -- who can beat that service! The shoes look great with khaki's and jeans. I'm so pleased I purchased this shoe for him -- so is he!

The comfort of the gold cup is second to none! The leather color is a little more stern than I what I usually buy on my Sperry's, but overall you'll be happy with these!

I have 2 years on these shoes. I rank my Top-Siders as stage 1 new, stage 2 broken in, Stage 3 something is coming apart. I'm a long time Sperry customer. These are super shoes but not worth the extra money. I will buy 2 pair of the 2nd tier shoe they seem a bit more durable. Both shoes' seams came apart on the outside ball.
