My first Sperry Top-siders.

Hey Jason, $70 isn't too bad at all! If you're in 'Murica you can get other good deals on Zappos.
Either way, I've traveled the world with Sperry's. From Australia to Columbia. Excellent shoes.

Anything besides flip flops are OK with me.

Haha I am a BIG flip flop guy. But ONLY with shorts. Sperry's go with everything.

I appreciate that, hahaIn your case I will be willing to make an exception.
That is a great pair of shoes! Big step up from Crocs in my opinion.
70 bucks is about five bucks lower than I've seen them go for around me. They will last you years, even if you actually get salt water on them. They're the genuine article.
Did you make those yourself?^^ haha
I picked up this pair of Gold Cup Top-Siders from a Sperry store here in Dallas. I had a 25% off coupon from signing up for their e-mail list. That made them $117.50. I also got some of their no-show socks to keep the funk down. I really like the shoes - the lining is nice and soft and I had no break-in time.
Classic style! Enjoy,
I just picked up a pair of Sperry Lanyards, got them at Nordstroms Rack for $65, mine are a shade lighter color. I liked the original boat shoes, but liked the comfort of the sturdier sole, as these will mostly be walking around summer shoes.
I still have some in the closet left over from the 80's.
Here's my first pair
Spent a week in Seatle/Yakima wearing mine, pretty impressed. Though they are getting a little rank, any suggestions on keeping them not so smelly? I've tried the no show socks to no avail, I can't stand how they feel on me and even after getting a couple different brands they always seem to fall off.
I might have to resort to my old running shoe practices of leaving them out in the sun for a day, or freezing them over night. That usually helps with the odor, though at times to the detriment of the shoe.

Odor eaters? There is probably a powder you can buy to dust the insides with.
Typically odor is caused by bacteria. Maybe wiping the insides down with Lysol
