Review on πŸ‘ž Sperry Men's Boat Shoe Sahara: Classic Style and Superior Comfort in Every Step by Billy Mariner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As far as I know, the mighty of this world have not fallen.

I bought these without having had any experience with the Sperry brand and hadn't read all the reviews of how their quality had deteriorated. Well I've been wearing them for 5+ months almost every day since the weather got warmer and I had to start working from home. They were a little tight when new but have stretched and now fit perfectly, half a size smaller than the ones I usually buy. I've ridden them many miles on rough tarmac and it's pretty clear that while the soles are durable, they wear out long before any part of the upper shows any noticeable wear. If I only wore them at home, on vacation and on trips to the beach, which can happen if I ever return to my office on a regular basis, it is clear that they would last for many years. The sugar is lighter than the photo as another reviewer said. But I love them so much and paid a lot less for them than they currently sell on Amazon, so I can look forward to using them longer. In my opinion very good quality. Edit: I don't want to judge experienced sailors who rate this shoe poorly for lack of durability. These are boat shoes for passengers, not crew. If you want handcrafted boats made in the US, Sperry still sells them for $375. Rancourt also for $250.
