The shoes look nice but on the inside of one of the shoes there is a piece that is not glued down. It is glued on the other shoe. I noticed this after having worn the shoe for the first time. Unfortunately I wore them for several hours making a return impossible. For the price paid for the shoes I expect better.

These were my favorite go-to summer shoes until this year. The 1st pair that were delivered, the soles disintegrated in less than 3 hrs of wear. The replacement pair had no insoles compared to my shoes from the previous year's shoes.

After wearing these for 1 month the toe of these boat shoes became unglued and the sole part broke apart. See picture

I used to really like these shoes and my last pair held up to 5 years of daily wear with no problem. This last pair I bought began falling apart within the first two weeks. I have seen other reviews noticing the same problem. It is a real shame that quality is going down hill. I would be willing to pay more money for this exact shoe built better. To be more specific, the base of the shoe is coming unattached from the rest of the shoe.

My husband has purchased these shoes several times over the years but this recent pair apparently had a defect in the sole - the tip of the sole broke off the 2nd time he wore them. I'll return them and I'm hoping a replacement pair won't be a problem

Not the color oatmeal, they look orange, I still have my 15 year old Oatmeal colored Sperry shoes, this pair isn't even close to oatmeal color.

Shipping was great. I've worn them for a 4 days and the toe has started separating from the the sole. I'm probably going to try and exchange them for a new pair. Maybe a bad pair of shoes? They look and feel great but the quality is lacking.

I bought this a few weeks ago. I've worn them since then and they are so comfortable! However, today the right show felt odd. The lining on the inside is coming loose. I'm going to have to glue the insole down to prevent further damage. The rest of the shoe is great, but having my shoe come apart already is not boding well for a lasting relationship.

The first time I wore them, I was re-tying my shoe and the shoestring broke. Strange for a brand new shoe. So, rough start.......

They came with a blemish on them. Hopefully they are easy to exchange for a new pair.

I bought my latest pair of Sperry's a few months ago. They got to the point of perfect breaking in and comfort. However, I noticed a split on the sole of the right shoe. I figured it was a glitch and tried to repair it with glue. The break is worsening, and the shoe is about to be unusable. I have never been disappointed in the quality, but this has let me down. I know you guys are better than this, and I just wanted it brought to your attention.

Not as durable as one would expect from Sperry topsiders. After about a year and with minimal use, the sole became hardened and thus slick (like changing from rubber to plastic). So it was most dangerous on slick surfaces let alone on a wet surface in a boat. I will try another manufacturer to see if sole does stay supple and not harden.

The shoes don't have any openings, so they get hot and collect water.

I love boat shoes, and used to wear these on our boat and around town. They look good, the leather is good, and they break in well. Unfortunately the soles are rubbery plastic, which hardened and became extremely slick on three consecutive pairs. I tried the Gold Cup version and had the same problem. Because of this I don't buy Sperry anymore.

This is my first pair of Sperrys and I really like them... unfortunately within the first 2 days of wearing them both insoles began to peel off badly... after the first week the front lip of the soles on both shoes ripped off. While they are somewhat comfortable and dress you up slightly more I don't think I would truly recommend this brand due to the lack in quality. Maybe this pair is flawed but so far I will not be buying another pair.

Great product. Paid for a more rapid delivery which did not transpire. More than 2 days late for planned trip and as such of no value.

This is my second pair of Sperry Topsiders recently where the front edge of the sole has separated just beyond the threads. It seems to not take much effort to cause the sole to break apart. I love the shoes, but am very annoyed that the soles are falling apart on brand new shoes. I live in these shoes, so it would be nice if they did not fall apart after only a few weeks of wear.

I had a pair of Sperry topsiders that I purchased four or five years ago and I was expecting similar quality but these are lighter and the sole is a bit thin and not the same as my older pair. Sorry but but these are just not what I expected.
