Men's Authentic Original Boat Mocs
Since its introduction by Paul Sperry in 1935, the Authentic Original has enjoyed immense popularity as both a functional boat shoe and good-looking casual footwear. Today's A/Os have improved from the original by the addition of Sperry's Full Active Comfort System, which includes a padded comfort wedge under the heel, EVA foam under both heel and forefoot for additional cushioning, a lighter, more flexible siped outsole and a leather sockliner. The shoe retains Sperry's Top-Sider siped outsole, full grain cowhide uppers, functional rawhide laces, and genuine handsewn moccasin construction. Imported.
- Application: Performance
- Uppers: Full Grain Cowhide
- Sole: Siped, non-marking outsole; Top-Sider grip
- Closure Type: Rawhide laces
- Insole: EVA foam under heel and forefoot
- Reinforcement: Padded comfort wedge under the heel

Comments about Men's Authentic Original Boat Mocs:
I LOVE these shoes. I wear them all the time, year round. I've been wearing these shoes for the past 32 years (no not the same pair!) and absolutely love them. I have them in several different colors, but also have some that look just like them except they're made by Sebago and the Sebagos are so uncomfortable they're almost painful to wear. The Sperry Top-Siders feel just right though and they last forever.

Comments about Sperry Top Sider Men's Authentic Original Boat Mocs:
One more thing that I REALLY like about these shoes: I have abused the heck out of them and would have expected to see them look all scuffed up by now. But they look GREAT! These are the lighter colored of the two choices. I'm uncertain if the dark pair will fair as well, but these are GREAT!

Comments about Men's Authentic Original Boat Mocs:
I was pleased to find that these met all of my expectations, which are pretty high. I was especially concerned about how comfortable these would be given that so many boat shoes are seriously lacking in that area (IMHO).
This is the second pair of this design that I've purchased and I'm still very pleased.

Comments about Men's Authentic Original Boat Mocs:
Top siders are spring-summer go tos when I'm wearing jeans/khakis and not shorts. Can't beat them for easy slip on and off, quick drying, wet surface safety, and flat out durability. I've owned three pair in 35 years, and I regret tossing my first pair! Second pair is all leather in and out and is now 20 years old. I've replaced only because they are a tad grungy for some social wear...

The product is good and the construction seems solid despite the quality of the leather that looks cheaper than the older models.
