I've been looking for navy Authentic Originals forever, but can't find them anywhere. However, I stumbled across these and want to know if anyone has seen them in person. I can't decide if the perfs would look stupid or not.

I had the same question a few days ago. Journey's carries Navy Topsiders, as do Urban Outfitters. Zappos seems to intermittently have them in stock.

n.b. The UO near me sells them for $72 in-store, if you don't want to pay shipping.

I was just at my local Macy's a few days back, and they had top-sider classics in many colors in stock at $70. They also had those perforated "seafarers" on the clearance rack (I think for something like $40). They even have a private men's sale going on next week (though may vary by store) for 20% off all men's clothing...

Is $56 for a sperry too good to pass up? I've just spent too much money, but was planning on getting some boat shoes for summer at some point...

Zappos still gets the Navy A/O's regularly. Just keep checking their site because they sell out fast. Also, my local Macy's has a pile of them.

I own those exact pair of shoes.

A) the perforations are not as evident in real life. Seriously, if that's what's holding you back, don't worry 'bout it.

B) I like the idea of wearing shoes with no socks, but I hate that my feet sweat more than normal and it gets kinda gross. The perforations provide ventilation and your feet won't sweat at all.

C) I absolutely love these shoes and wear them as often as possible....they go well with EVERYTHING.

D) I bought them at Nordstrom last summer.

i like the fact that the perfs make these look more functional as a boat shoe. +1 for me

Isn't the sole on the perforated version different, too? Looks like there are extra horizontal &quot;channels&quot; in the rubber.

Shoes.com has them. Buy something around $25 to go along with it, use their 20% code and get free shipping with $5 shoes.
