Sperry is the original brand of boat shoe, designed in 1935 by Paul Sperry. The Topsider were the first boat shoes introduced into the boating market. As expected with any Sperry footwear, they are made with every attention to the tiniest detail. Due to their original boating use, the eyelets are rust proof & the sole uses a tecnique called 'siping', this process is instrumental in maximizing the traction you have whilst on the slippery deck of your boat! The shoe also features the famous 360 lacing system, around the back of the shoe. With wool uppers, leather laces & a rubber midsole, these Bahama Boat Shoes are the perfect summer shoe!
