4.0 out of 5 stars 30-40 Year veteran, August 26, 2008

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing - not the Topsiders of my youth., September 10, 2009

This review is from: Sperry Top-Sider "Authentic Original" 2-Eye Boat Shoe (Apparel)

I'm guessing this latest pair is at least my 15th, and what junk they are. I've only had them a couple of months, and they're already falling apart. The insoles, which only span the rear half of the shoe, have separated from the rest of the shoe and will no longer stay put. They've curled up like parchment. The leather uppers have completely lost their shape. My son bought a pair at roughly the same time as I bought these, and his have suffered the same fate (he's only 15, and he's never had a pair before, so he's got a pretty bad impression of Topsider's at this point). While I can't imagine it could be relevant, I'll note my current pair are Sahara (as are my son's), while all my previous Topsider's were Classic Brown. Unless the quality flaws are peculiar to the Sahara color, all I can say is that Topsider's have really declined in quality. I'm used to these things lasting for a year or more (i.e., until the soles wear out; the insoles and uppers have never been a problem).

I have worn Top-siders since the 70's. They have always (up until now) been my favorite shoe.
I don't fault Sperry going to China like most shoe company's, but there seamed to be no quality controls with there shoes now. A boat shoe should not bleed dye on your feet for months when they get wet. This is my first pair that the top stitching up by the laces pull out on both shoes. Now both soles have separated from the leather uppers. Sperry has lost a life long customer!Sperry Top-Sider Men's Authentic Original 2 Eye Boat Shoe
