I've had a pair of Sperry Topiders for a few years and was looking for an alternative. You've worn yourself well, but it's time for a new look. Exclusively for everyday use. I am not a sailor. Wrinkled skin is what attracted me the most. I use them as a dressier alternative to sandals and they look great with or without socks. I have 9.5 and they fit right away with minimal shrinkage.
