New Member - Looking To Buy Sperry Top-sider!

[Zues]

Hey I am here looking for some Sperry Top-Siders boat shoes. I have done some research and found that I am interested in either the OATMEAL color with white bottoms, OR the Sahara boat shoes.. http://www.zappos.com/images/715/715...280-7458-d.jpg --- OATMEAL http://www.flickr.com/photos/mulepics/2842336375/ --- SAHARA I am looking for opinions on which color will be nice.. Also looking for any places which you know sell them besides the SPERRY website in size 11.5.. THANKS!

You will have a hard time finding them anywhere other than the Sperry website. Boat shoes are a rarity these days. I can't think when's the last time I've seem them anywhere.

They're actually relatively easy to find. If you briefly tour your mall, you'll most likely run into a store that carries them.

Here are some of the stores I've seen them in recently:
- Urban Outfitters
- J. Crew
- Journeys

Yea What color would you guys suggest Oatmeal or Sahara?

 

[Taxler]

Those colors are very similar; choose the one you like best, or if you can't decide, pick the less expensive.

yea i was thinking that... But is the OATMEAL too light? I found one on eBay and it was almost the ICE color...

I have a pair of the Sahara... great color and very versatile.

Bought them here...

If you have to pick one then try the pair with the darker soles.Often the white soles get marked
up alot.
Ever think about www.quoddytrail.com
However you decide...Good luck

Nordstrom carries them, so does piperlime

Poor horse!

The sahara color is good, but the best and the original color is the "classic brown" which also has the white sole. I got my last pair at Nordstroms as they carry the wide as well as medium widths, as most other stores I have found do not.

A lot of shoe stores carry the Sperry top siders including Nordstrom as others have mentioned. I hear the quality of Sperry boat shoes are not as good as most of them are made in China and no longer made in the USA.
