Comments about Sperry Top Sider Men's Ventus Boots:
I was initially very happy to replace my weathered Sperry Waterproof Fathoms with these racy boots but after standing in 4 inches of bilge-water for about a minute, I had that not-so-good squishy feeling in my sock. Taking the boot off, I found my sock to be soaked on top of the toes and on top of the forefoot, as well as the top of the heel.
I am sadly returning these tomorrow.

Comments about Sperry Top Sider Men's Ventus Boots:
I tried these boots and initially was very happy with how they felt. However, after standing in maybe 2" of water, the boots leaked and water entered under the flap into the boots and within a very short time my feet were wet. It took more than 24 hours of drying to get the boots dry at home in the heated bathroom. The interior just absorbed so much water it took so long to dry.I was quite disappointed and returned the boots.[...]

Comments about Sperry Top Sider Men's Ventus Boots:
Good for wet weather sailing. Good grip on deck. Not a floppy feeling boot; fits comfortably and snuggly with just a pair of warm socks. True to size. The fact that it's a good looking boot is a bonus. Not sure yet how the velcro performance will hold up over time, especially in the salt water environment, but I like the custom fitted feeling one gets with the velcro closure.
