[Zwei]

[aaronS]

picked up these rockports for $15

[MilSpex]

^you paid too much.

I said it before but I bet you guys don`t even boat..

[chronoaug]

I used to boat some in high school but it was my parent's. Can't afford one now. You do military activities?

I boat my fucking ass off

[Guest jmatsu]

where can i buy the sperry midtop boatshoes featured in the dejour blog?

[Calden]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Quoddy Trail. They would be my first choice. A little more expensive than Sperry and Sebago, but worth it imo. I've been thinking about picking up the below pair for a while now...

South Willard is selling some blue Quoddy's that look pretty nice too...

Honestly - Timberland makes the best..considering that you wear these barefeet - the inside material and construction is really soft.

Also - great leather and colorways..

[hollaforadolla]

should be coming today - sperry topsider in washed red

[fallen angels]

[Hella Hyphy]

sorry, but these are all hideous.

got some sperry bahamas. I might buy some gel insoles though for more comfort because they're pretty much chucks without it.

[jeepster]

question about sperry sizing: up, down, or true to size?

thanks

[willy cheesesteak]

sorry for stupid question, but what is the sizing for sperry? im usually us11 in shoes/sneakers.

I got these Sperry authentics colour 'ice'. I am usually a US 11 but fit a 10 in these and with an insole added. Could be due to the much softer leather. However when I tried on the basic navy and brown ones, I need an 11. So i'd say Sperrys are pretty much true to size except for these. Excellent value and very comfortable.

[Ande]

the ndc's are beautiful but are $300.

any difference between sperry and sebago as far as fit or quality? i love these:

i've seen sperry's for $15 but never any good sebago prices.

ninja07, those ice ones can be sized down? i'm probably getting those. i liked that cracked leather look for keeping creases at bay. i wear an 11 and tried on some other sperry's in that size and they fit great. is a 10 a tight fit? i may go or a 10.5.

[ninja07]

Ande, 10 for me in those Sperrys Ice fit just right with an insole, and still has slight room to breathe. Those Sebagos are nice.

Anyone know of any chain retailers in the UK that sell Sperry?

Pretty keen on picking up a pair but I'd like to try some on first.

Also, this might have been covered, but what kind of trousers do you think go the best with boat shoes?

[tajero]

if anyone is interested, i'm selling some Vans boat shoes in the supermarket.

Got a pair of the blue and white Sperry's at the Rack for like 15 bones last summer but DAMN my ankles will be blistered and cut up after about 6 blocks walking in them sockless. I really like the way they look and I go to to the beach a lot but I just can't figure out how to not kill my feet in 'em. Other than that they fit well and look good...well..besides the blood stains. Its caused by that padded rim around the top of the ankle. Is there a way to just cut it out of there or is this just an "epic fail..get the leather ones" kinda deal?

wear socks to break em in?

[calvin1663]

the cardinal rule of top siders is no socks. no discussion.

I've got a pair of the classic

ones, but they smell bad now, I didn't desmellify them earlier when I had them and I wore them for days on end without a break (not a good idea).

I love the band of outsiders ones, but I can't drop 200+ on a 90 dollar shoe whose only difference is a color scheme (although it is a baller color scheme)
