these are probably the womens. stupid logo on the back and driving shuz like sole on the back. 30 dolla? me still no like.

[Awake]

will probably go for the navy ones, would cop the white's too if the laces and stitching were tonal.. only womens sizes left in both..

[nf one]

are those womens ones structurally different? it looks like the toebox is a bit boxier and the tongue comes up a bit shorter so more of the foot is exposed. could just be me though

[Awake]

i compared mens to womens a while ago and they really don't look much different at all.

[lucky_cloud]

i dunno about those patent boat shoes. don't believe the hype!

[fadingblue]

yo lucky trust me, they look way better in person

you should cop

if youre interested pm me

i can guide you in the right direction to patents in mens sizes

they also got white/navy patents, which i thought were fire and i would cop if i wasnt poor

patent leather sperrys? thumbs down.

a classic shoe should stay classic. patent leather sperrys give off trying-too-hard vibes, imo.

yeah fuck design, foward aesthetics, and innovation. as a matter of fact fuck shoes. we should just walk around barefoot. infact fuck you moms for sitting on your dad's nut that stained her parent's livingroom sofa. u b a load that should have been swallowed. or discarded in a tissue.

i'm fine with improved versions of classic designs (aka band of outsiders boat shoes), because band of outsiders maintains the overall aesthetic associated with original sperrys and reinvents it in an interesting way. patent leather on sperrys just seem so...urban-outfitters-like; it makes them too kitsch-- something that sperrys shouldn't be.

oh yeah? well waddabout boo's fuckin jawns with no shoe laces? what now, nigga?

so just because patent was implemented, shit is not interesting? maybe in your opinion...but nobody cares about what you think. nigga do you even know what kitsch means?

[chronoaug]

I still don't know if i'm down with the patent blues. Blacks are a yes, whites are a maybe. I dunno. I got a guy working on a pair of blacks for me. Dunno wear he's going to find them. Hopefully, won't be too expensive. 10.5s are a popular size.

[m1sterko]

prolly answered but is it okay to size down on these abit?

like... 10.5 for size 11 feet?

or should you be sizing up.

[Guest jmatsu]

nah no hate, but what the fuck? niggas be going on and on like patent sperrys just came out in 08. shit was like in 06. fuck.

[chronoaug]

m1sterko- don't size down. they run pretty true to size. i went true to size and it's pretty much perfect without sucks.

j- i never saw patent sperrys in men's sizes until this past fall personally. I just assumed it was a wominz only thing till recently. I used to have some dino-esque sperrys till i lost one of them. I didn't even own anything patent except my half patent half suede reebok basketball shoes. Hot fire

yeah they pretty much run, true, but they are basically slip ons...the sperry patents.

could size down by a half and be okay i think.

come to think of shit the patents may have come out in 05. ask dino. he'd know. we talked about the black patents once along long time ago.

[chronoaug]

Yea, the sperrys i've owned kinda stretched a bit overtime. I've seen some beat to shit frat guy boat shoes that look really stretched out too. If you're between sizes you could maybe buy the lower one and wear em' for a bit. Assuming they all fit same true to size is good to go. If/when i get a pair of patent boat shoes, i wonder how the frat guys on campus will feel about them? I mean, they're boat shoes so that's cool for them, but i think the patent might make them too faggy to get bro-props

[m1sterko]

thanks for the helpoo

leaning towards sebago's since they have more varieties for the colorways.

stop talking out of your ass you stupid fuck, if you knew anything about anything you would know that sperrys are boating shoes, originally intended to be worn sailing, band of outsiders did them in (among other materials) canvas, which is porous (even more so than leather) and soaks, therefore making them fail at serving their original purpose, on the other hand patent leather is water repellent and non-porous, so your shoes dont get wet, if anything it adds to the original purpose by not preventing your shoes get soaking wet (which is gonna happen anyways)

paraboot

These are hot. With the right pair of white shorts and a crisp shirt open over a tee.

The Timberland ones are totally grandpa!!!!

i'm not talking about the function of the shoe; i'm talking about how patent leather ruins the overall aesthetic.

and, to prove your point wrong, if canvas weren't a functional material, then why would sperry make canvas boat shoes?
