On sale today @ Macy's for $40/pair. I could not decide in the store, so I picked up a pair of each. To be worn with jeans, Dockers and possibly blue seersucker. I do not need two pair of similar shoes.

Which is the keeper and which to return?

Thanks in advance!

If you're set on owning one of those two pair, I like the Rockports, but I also tend to be pretty conservative in color choices. Quality should be similar between the two pairs. You should be able to find a pair of solid navy Sperry's online for like $60-70, and that's what I'd do.

I got a pair of Sperry's earlier this summer, and I paid about $40. I used shoebuy, and combined 20% off with bing.com cashback.

I love boat shoes, and I like navy, but I don't find either of these appealing.
