The one that started it all, the Authentic Original is a tried-and-true icon of prep style. True to our heritage, they’re still hand-sewn using time-honored craftsmanship, with premium materials and the wet/dry traction that made them legendary. Effortlessly setting the bar for what a real boat shoe should be, seafarers love the A/O’s capability; street-farers crave its classic cool.
Yeh, way.
Sperrys are a great boat shoe but expensive

and yes, I realise not identical
I don’t have a boat so I won’t need this…
Thanks. Bought for my dad's.
Alright folks nothing to see here
Additional $10 for shipping. is this really a brand worth?
Additional $10 shipping brand is worth.
The quality of Sperry's shoes lately have been going downhill.
I don't understand why, but if you look at recent reviews you'll find that there's frequent issues with stitching and how the outsole (the bottom rubber part of the shoe) completely falls off. I would guess that's likely a fault with whichever automated process that they've adopted for mass production since I've never heard of this issue 4-5 years ago or changes in material quality (Neither Hype or Sherry is running a charity, a shoe that's 6x cheaper comes with changes elsewhere). Proper stitching generally holds up well to the test of time.
Though, I would still recommend these shoes for casual use (due to the price). As long as you're not running in them and/or wearing them on a daily basis then they'll be fine.
Are these true to size?
Suggest to go +1
I'm normally 12/12.5 ordered 13 from the same deal last time and they're on the tight side.
Not the widest either.
Being leather they should stretch over time though? I’m going to go with my standard size
That's my experience after breaking them in for 12 months.. wearable now.. Would have gone 14 if they'd had them this time.
Thanks, not all that sure but for $39 delivered.
Do you wear sock when wearing this shoe?
Your feet will get shtinky.
No show socks! I like the vans ones as they stay in place.
Got two pairs of these (brown & blue). Brown is my favourite. I wear them all the time. Still perfect condition after years of abuse.
The nonslip sole is handy too!
Thanks. Got two.
Just in case the tan boat shoe doesn't appeal, other Sperry colourways/styles available with most reduced to $49.99
Got two of them last year from Platypus and they were much cheaper, I think $20 delivered. Great for summer, the tan colour looks very nice.
Thanks got a pair
Thanks, OP.
Great price for a must have shoe :)
Thanks OP- great post.
For people who do not know this brand - it is cool one guys. Pretty famous with old men.
worth buying for your guys if you are willing.
I’m not that old and no boat. You can have them all mate!
Its not letting me buy this with click and collect. anyone have the same issue
Wouldn’t let me either. I had the option but said it wasn’t available in my area
Just buy 5 of them (free shipping) and return the ones you don’t need
Can probably get a better size this way as well
Small effort required though
Ya I did that - there's a local store can return to in the city so its convenient
@Handymancan: Got 3 different pairs (4 total) - but one pair with 2 different sizes - I'm taking a punt on the right size, either I return one, or I return all 4
Also having this issue, not sure how to change the postcode.
Click n collect is greyed out, anyone?
bought one thx!
Thank you OP, bought one, i love these shoes :)
omg f u guys…
I am uk 8.5
when I when to the site, uk 9 was sold out. When I added us 10, when I tried to check out after putting my info, 10 was gone. Then I tried to buy us 8 think I will wear it during summer without socks, added to the cart, tried to check out, then 8 was out of stock.
fml
Get US 10.5?
Wow thats a good price! Needed laces for mine and this deal it cheaper!
Out of my size but laces are basically free at this price
Wow thanks! Been looking for some cheap boat shoes for ages!
Would the store be open for return? What happens if store not open for next 30 days for return?
Had two in the cart, then it was my fault for looking through more stock as well as double checking my shoe size, lol.
Bought these for $30 from Platypus.
Honestly they are easily a $100+ boat shoe any day of the week, just remember to condition the leather every year.
$30 it's a no brainer.
Good spot OP.
This is back in stock! ;) Get in quick! Saw sizes in US 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5 and 12
49.95 though
Was 29.95 still when I last looked at it. Should have taken a screenie.
Ah missed out, the old man would've liked these for his birthday
You've given up on life if you're wearing boat shoes and not in the 60+ age bracket.
Yeah for real, someone please kick my arse if you ever see me wearing these.
For occasions where your craftsman's just won't go with your baby blue polo
Shame I missed these. Mine have worn out from all that brothel creepin'.
