About this item:

The Sperry Top-Sider brand is best known for its boat shoes, which have sailed more miles of open ocean than any other brand. The story of Sperry Top-Sider began one raw winter day in New England. Paul Sperry, an avid sailor and hobbyist inventor, noticed the remarkable stability of his cocker spaniel, Prince, as he ran on the snow-covered, icy crust. Inspired by this, Paul raced back to his laboratory to start working on a new idea.

Using rubber pieces, a razor blade, and an ordinary sneaker, Paul soon created the world's first boat shoe prototype. Further designs led to the creation of the Authentic Original, which became the cornerstone of Sperry Top-Sider. Since 1935, Sperry Top-Sider has been the go-to brand for water lovers, introducing the world's first siped rubber outsole for non-marking traction and developing advanced technical features to combat the elements.

Sperry Top-Sider footwear can be found worldwide in independent retailers, marine stores, and department stores. The brand is the official footwear of prestigious organizations like the U.S. Sailing Team, Zodiac Academy, the World Billfish Series, and the Shimano Fishing Tour. With a legacy of innovation and performance, Sperry Top-Sider continues to lead the way in high-quality amphibious footwear.
