Best known for boat shoes that have logged more miles of open ocean than any other brand, the Sperry Top-Sider story began on a raw winter day in New England. When avid sailor and hobbyist inventor Paul Sperry let his dog Prince out for his daily exercise, he noticed that the cocker spaniel was remarkably stable, even at a full run on the snow covered, icy crust. Paul raced back to his laboratory to begin working. Using pieces of rubber, a razor blade, and an ordinary sneaker, Paul had soon pieced together the prototype of the world's first boat shoe. Subsequent designs yielded the original Sperry Top-Sider now known as the Authentic Original. Since 1935, Sperry Top-Sider has been the leading brand of footwear for those who love the water. From its introduction of the world's first siped rubber outsole for non-marking traction, to its advanced technical fabrication to combat the elements, Sperry Top-Sider remains the vanguard of high-performance amphibious footwear. Available around the globe in fine independent, marine, and department stores, Sperry Top-Sider is the official footwear of the U.S. Sailing Team, Zodiac Academy, the World Billfish Series, and the Shimano Fishing Tour.

Not only are these extremely comfortable they are probably the best looking rain boots ever. I just bought them so don't know how durable they are but when they wear out I intend to buy another pair.
Sperry topsider boots worked great this winter! I had to have a new pair this year, ordered them and they came before our first snow! They were a little tight at first, I had to really work to get them on, but then I bought some boot socks and the next time I put them on they went on much easier. Not had any more trouble with them. Kept feet warm and dry, exactly what I wanted. Oh, yes, and they look great on your feet too!
Purchased these for a winter trip to Seattle. They are a good mix of utility and style for the price. I was surprised at how comfy they are - springy footbed and soft lining.
I purposely ordered these a size larger. I did need to tighten the straps all the way to prevent them from slipping while walking, but I can still easily slip these on and off, barefoot or with thick socks. The entire inside is very soft and the sole is padded and super comfortable. It's difficult to find comfortable boots that can be tightened across the ankle. Although it's usually very hot where I live, we often get torrential downpours, so I was only looking for short, waterproof boots. These don't have an extra lining for warmth, which is perfect for me. Great tread for the mud. Could be used for gardening as well, but any color other than black might have been better for spotting fire ants!
