Ordered another pair of Sperry's for my son, and he couldn't wait to unpack them after delivery. They were packed well, with each shoe having it's own bag. The shoes are very sturdy, but still soft with more cushion inside than your regular Sperry boat shoe. They were alittle more expensive, but definitely a higher quality product.
Received these yesterday and they are beautiful shoes, incredibly soft and cushy. Only problem is I have a wide foot and ordered the wide width which may not be wide enough. I have another pair of Sperry's in wide that fit fine, but this Gold Cup series is a bit narrow. I'm still debating as I would love to be able to keep them as they are so nice. Softest leather I've ever seen in a pair of shoes and the color is great as well
Purchase the navy and tan pair and can say that they are 10x better than the normal Sperry Top-Siders. Inside is cushiony and can walk in them much longer than my previous pair of normal Sperry's. Fit is true to size, maybe a little snug width wise but I've heard that they conform to your feet after a bit.
