sperrys yay or nay??

[AHappierHour]

I'm thinking about buying a pair. I'm a SAHM and thought they might be cute for running around in.

[karebear304]

I hate them, some people love them. I think you'll get a mix of replies here.

If you like them, go for it. I hear they're super, super comfortable.

[blondemoment123]

Unless you spend a lot of time on a boat, I don't see why anyone would want them.

[315bride]

They are just NMS.

[Deleted]

I love mine and wear them all the time.

[NachoProblem]

I love them. They're super comfortable and IMO they go with everything. I have the angelfish.

[FormerCityGirl]

Only on a boat if there are no other shoe options available to keep from damaging the deck. There are better options. Think Kangaroos, Pumas, or Cole Haan ballet flats with Nike Air.

I used to wear mine often years ago...I have them in brown and coral. Now they sit in my closet.

[ESquared423]

I wear mine once or twice a week, but I'm also a sucker for the preppy/nautical/New England style of things. And I live by the ocean, so, it works.

I've only seen teenagers wear them around here, but I don't think they're so bad if you love them.

[mrsacornblue]

I think they are cute, comfortable and practical. If you like them, go for it.

[emyinpink]

I love mine and wear them all of the time. We occasionally have random rain/puddles so they're perfect for my commute to work and to wear on the weekends.

[maucat]

I love them and wear them frequently, but am never on boats. They're great when it rains, too...my feet stayed totally dry walking in the pouring rain despite the shoes getting soaked.

Granted, they're not everyone's style, but since I skew more to the preppy side anyway, I love them.

[melaniesc]

I have a pair of their boat shoes and really like them. Like pp said, they are very comfortable. And they have more than just boat shoes. I have a pair of sandals that are great and a pair of flats as well. I say if you like them, get them.

[texassmith]

no no no.

[honeydew1894]

I love them, and I do not own a pair yet. If you like them, do it!

[pooh8402]

I love mine. I have a pair of bluefish, and want a pair of angelfish. I do not own a boat and I live 4 hours from the coast. I just think they're cute. if you want a pair, then get them!

[sitnspin]

I have Roxy knock-offs in a searsucker pattern and love them. I wear them all over.

[AHappierHour]

Thanks everyone I'm not in love with them but I think they would be cute to wear with jeans and a tee to the park. I ordered the bluefish.

I love the angelfish style of Sperry's. I love their sandals as well.

You'll see flip flops worn in Manhattan, miles away from a beach. I think it's perfectly appropriate to wear Sperrys on land.

I love them but sadly do not own a pair.

To me it's not about the fact that they're supposed to be water/boat shoes. It's that they're ugly.

Ditto on TOMS. Not sure which I dislike more.

Ditto. NMS at all.

[adhdfashion]

I like them and wear the loafer style. I loath toms, live by the beach, and have two little kids to chase. They work for me and its less sloppy looking then flip flops or kicks.

[Deleted]

I haven't found ballet flats to be sturdy enough for very active days with kids, so Sperrys are a decent option when you don't want to wear sneakers of some kind. I have Angelfish.
