Review on Sperry Men's Kite Sport Boat: Elevate Your Style and Performance by Ken Barnett

The shoes are comfortable, I tell her. But the first time I put them on, I walked 5 steps on wet grass and the water resistance of the leather was absolutely zero. The water absorbed immediately and discolored the skin. I don't expect them to be waterproof as they aren't water shoes, but I do expect some water to drip onto skin, especially since Sperry markets them as waterproof. *** Update after 2 months wearing time. the rubber sock is separated from the skin. My guess is that Sperry has just become a marketing company and lets their Chinese manufacturers dictate the level of quality. Unfortunately I wore Sperry shoes for many years. I will contact them and try to replace them.
