Hello all-

I have a couple questions on topsiders/boat shoes as we approach spring and summer...

1. Who is the maker of the classic shoe?
2. Which style is the classic? navy blue, brown, etc?
3. What do you guys wear them with? Jeans, shorts, etc?

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Sperry Topsiders, the brown with white sole is the classic "boat shoe." They go with everything, jeans, shorts, etc...

I wear them with pretty much everything casual. They are by far my used shoe. I pretty much wear them every day out here in California going to school. I have several pairs. Dark Brown, Light Brown, and Navy Blue. Love them all.
