 Disappointing - not the Topsiders of my youth. Sep 11, 2009
By Stratman
"Don"
I'm guessing this latest pair is at least my 15th, and what junk they are. I've only had them a couple of months, and they're already falling apart. The insoles, which only span the rear half of the shoe, have separated from the rest of the shoe and will no longer stay put. They've curled up like parchment. The leather uppers have completely lost their shape. My son bought a pair at roughly the same time as I bought these, and his have suffered the same fate (he's only 15, and he's never had a pair before, so he's got a pretty bad impression of Topsider's at this point). While I can't imagine it could be relevant, I'll note my current pair are Sahara (as are my son's), while all my previous Topsider's were Classic Brown. Unless the quality flaws are peculiar to the Sahara color, all I can say is that Topsider's have really declined in quality. I'm used to these things lasting for a year or more (i.e., until the soles wear out; the insoles and uppers have never been a problem).

Not what they once where! Dec 25, 2009
By Michael Jard
"mike4038"
I have worn Top-siders since the 70's. They have always (up until now) been my favorite shoe.
I don't fault Sperry going to China like most shoe company's, but there seamed to be no quality controls with there shoes now. A boat shoe should not bleed dye on your feet for months when they get wet. This is my first pair that the top stitching up by the laces pull out on both shoes. Now both soles have separated from the leather uppers. Sperry has lost a life long customer!Sperry Top-Sider Men's Authentic Original 2 Eye Boat Shoe

Not fit for boat use Sep 21, 2010
By D. E. Langdon
"Don Langdon"
These shoes have leather laces and strech when wet.They are so shallow that they easily slip off when the wet laces stretch.They also are very slipery when walking on wet gel coat. I'll use mine for boat shows only, they do look good.

Quality has definitely gone down Oct 03, 2011
By D. Herbert
I've been wearing Sperry Topsiders since the late 1970's, and have always found them to be comfortable and long lasting. The past two or three pairs, however, have been somewhat disappointing. First it was the stitching along the toe that failed after only a couple of years. They' ve done a better job with the stitching on the most recent pairs, but now the little rivet eyelets for the rawhide lacing heel strap are pulling out or bending. These eyelets never used to come out, but on the last two pairs they are so thin and flimsy that they pop out of the leather, or because they are so thin, the edges of the eyelets bend out and are very sharp. They cut into the leather of the opposite shoe, your ankles, chair legs, and anything elst you scrape them on. I don't dare use my feet to scratch a mosquito bite on my legs while wearing them. There are eight heel eyelets on each shoe for a total of 16. Of the 16 on my current pair of Topsiders, 13 are bent outwards or pulled entirely out of the leather, and held on the shoe only by the rawhide lacing.
That being said, I must tell you they are about four years old, and I wear them almost daily. I ALWAYS put sole inserts in them because they are very thin soled, and I can feel every stone or stick I step on if I don't. Yes, they resist getting stinky, but I wear socks 95% of the time to keep them from getting that way. I often put them through the washing machine with bleach or oxy to refresh them (which is a nice thing about the Sperrys, they stand up to repeated washing.)
Soon I'm going to have to make a decision between buying a $200.00 +/- pair of made in the U.S.A. leather mocs, and another pair of Made-in-China Sperrys at about a third the price. I think I'm going to spend the money to get quality. Life is too long to walk around with bloody ankles.)
