I bought this pair because the existing Top Siders I've been wearing for years are looking a bit ragged. Best shoes I've ever had. Love 'em!I liked the price, saved $90 off retail and they fit like a glove, very happy camper.Had to return shoes. Ordered the same size I have on. New ones were way too snug.I love Sperry boaters.Comfortable, nice quality leather, good support. Have worn to work twice- relaxingThe gold cup topsider is definitely a level above the regular topsiders, albeit at a premium price.I ordered a specific shoe with a brown sole as shown on the Amazon site, but received the shoe with the more common white/beige sole. Knowing this come from the US I even suspected this could be the case... this particular shoe has been in short supply. As we've all learnt many of Amazon's product photos are not always completely correct!This is a replacement pair of Sperry Boat shoes. A great looking shoe, perfect fit, very comfortable and leather is very soft.
