Review on Sperry Top Sider Shock Boat Black: Unique Style meets Unmatched Comfort by Larry Lackings

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not suitable for rowing!

Boat shoes must be slip-resistant on the boat when wet! These shoes are fine as long as they are not on wet surfaces. Sailing this week I have literally (dangerously) slipped across the deck every time the deck got wet. These are new shoes. I have worn many Sperry shoes and they are not suitable for boat use. Not sure why they are so bad as it seems they should hold on.

Pros
  • Great shoes for sailing - boat racing! I wear light socks so they stay fresh and my sailing shoes don't "stink".
Cons
  • Although Sperry is a well-respected brand, some consumers have reported durability issues with the Shock Boat Shoe, including wear and tear after just a few uses. This can make shoes a less than desirable long-term investment for some buyers.
