Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
The original design that launched Sperry Top-Sider, this Men's Original 2-Eye Moccasin remains the benchmark for boating shoes. From the 360° lacing system with rust-proof eyelets to the shock-absorbing EVA heel cup, you can expect quality, comfort, and durability. Designed to be worn in all weather conditions, the leather uppers are stain and water resistant and the rubber sole with razor cut Wave Siping provides exceptional stability on wet or dry surfaces. Fans of these mocs say the longer you wear them, the better they look and feel.
From the Manufacturer
Rockport has always been one step ahead of the times, believing the perfect shoe has not yet been invented. This positive dissatisfaction compels them to constantly improve upon their footwear. Founded in 1971, they were the first company to use advanced athletic technologies in casual shoes to achieve lightweight comfort, and the first company to engineer walking comfort in dress and casual shoes.

Customer Reviews

A classic...
What can I say? Sperry Topsiders are a classic. My husband owns a sailboat, and these shoes are perfect for being on the boat, at a boating event, or just out to a casual dinner. Like a pair of jeans, they look right everywhere, and will last forever.
30-40 Year veteran
My new Topsiders have a better initial fit than all my previous pairs. I guess being produced in China has slightly changed the dimensions, in my case to the better.
This pair is the two-toned version (brown & black) which are best for traveling as they will go with any color clothing. They used to have another travel advantage as after 9/11 they were the only pair of shoes you didn't have to remove at airport security. The TSA folks knew they had no arch support and wouldn't set off the metal detectors. Unfortunately, during the last year the TSA now insist all shoes go through the x-ray machine.
I have owned many pair in the past several decades including the Gold Cup (which are the most comfortable with the best support - although a bit pricey) and this is the first pair that make my feet black when not wearing socks. Evidently, the dye they are now using is not colorfast. They have not been wet or worn on the water yet, they have only been worn in an urban environment. Hopefully, with age they will stop bleeding.
Otherwise, if they can correct the dye problem, they appear to be well constructed even though they are now made in China.
Great quality and wonderful color
I bought these shoes for my husband's Christmas gift. He loves them and is particularly pleased at the color mix of brown and black, very tastefully put together and can equally well go with both brown, tan and black trousers.
The service from the seller was excellent.
