Sperry's....love them, hate them? What say you?

I initially hated Sperry's .......... but they're growing on me. Anyone have any input, good, bad, ugly? Are they comfy? Which ones do you own? Any pics? Best place to get them?

Thanks!! Chat Icon

Oh...are these a summer shoe? Clueless about these, they are completely NOT my style!

I don't have Sperrys but do have boat shoes---got them cheap from Steve Madden. They are very comfortable and hey, they are now only $20 on the site!

Yep a summer shoe. I wear mine with leggings, boyfriend jeans, shorts, anything really.

Love them but I dress preppy and we do have a boat lol. I think you could wear them in the fall if they were in fall colors.

i like a plain one for boating or around the house or for an errand. i live in a preppy town in CT, though, so they are common here. i dont care for them outside of that.

Love love love them on my 4 yr old preppy DS. I think they are cute for women when not too funky. They are very well made shoes.

I am a big fan, but I am also quite preppy and we do ALOT of boating. I think they cute and they are fashionable but I think it is silly if you don't use them at all for boating.

These are too cute!!!! I am torn on buying them. I wanted a comfy casual shoe for the winter and they seem a bit summery. I'm still confused! lol

Not a fan at all. My grandfather wore these for the whole decade of the 80's. They just remind me of a salty, old man.

I think of Sperrys for summer and I love the funky ones! I think the bright cool ones look adorable with a good white tee and shorts, or crops. I grew up on the water/boats though, so I am biased. I have tweed Toms that I wear in the winter. They have some really cute winter styles now. I usually wear the sparkly ones for "special" events like bachelorette parties, going dancing, and any time I am going out and want to be festive but don't want to wear heels (95% of the time).

Re: Sperry's....love them, hate them? What say you?

I like them with the right preppy outfit -

I think they are ridiculous looking in any other capacity - but again, i'm boring.

My DH has a pair - his style is super preppy. I have an knock-off pair from Payless that I wear occasionally.

Agree. On women a HUGE no IMO no matter how preppy you are. My 5yo boy (who I love them on) and I should not be wearing the same shoes Chat Icon

Re: Sperry's....love them, hate them? What say you?

OK I think i'm just going to pass on the Sperry's. Too many mixed reviews and the comment above about the little boy shoes is not the look i'm going for lol

Thanks!! Chat Icon
