Sperry Top-Sider Founder's Cup Boat Shoes (For Women)

Great, casual sneaker that can be worn easily with a casual summer skirt or shorts. Easy to clean and care for.

I wore the shoes one time to the grocery store, by the time I got home, both heels were blistered and one was even cut and bleeding. I had ordered the shoes a bit large to cover for a wide size, they were still too short and were more of a narrow width than a medium. One shoe got a scuff mark at the store so I am afraid the company will not accept a return for a larger size.

I love these shoes! I bought them in white because they did not have the other colors in size 7. My feet are a bit wide and they were surprisingly comfortable. The removable insoles are very comfortable, traction very good, and canvas is high quality. These were excellent value for the money. No wonder Sperry Top Siders are very popular for many years now. I highly recommend them to everyone. I will buy them in the other colors when they become available.

I was looking for lightweight, not overly-constructed shoes for use at the gym, and these fit the bill. They have better construction and support (and probably quality) than Keds and other low-priced sneakers, but they are not at all heavy or klunky, and I can forget that I have them on my feet and just move easily. I have never found the current trend in "athletic shoes" to yield any healthy or comfortable shoes; I prefer the old-fashioned, lightweight, washable, easy-to-move-in sneakers, and these are just that, so I'm happy with them. I'd like to have them in a dark color also (not currently available in my size).

I cannot recall whether half sizes were available generally. I purchased these shoes from the clearance category, and there were none offered in a 6.5 size, which would have been my preference. They fit, but only w/o socks (which is fine for my purpose)!!! Too bad that, like so many of the products we buy today, they're "made in China!" Sigh ...
