I have worn Sperry Hampden Venetian Loafers for a number of years and I'm sorry to report that something has changed about these shoes. This would be my third pair, I ordered my normal size and the tag is still the same but the rubber sole is about an inch shorter than the shoes they replace and they fit a half to full size. fewer. The insole doesn't feel as soft and cloudy as it used to, but it's hard to tell since the whole shoe is too narrow. My last pair of these Sperrys only lasted about 9 or 10 months before punctures started appearing while my first pair only lasted about 3 years so I think the quality of these shoes has gone down lately.
