When is the time/event/season not to wear them?

Is there an age limit (when not on a boat or playing cornhole)?

Discuss all things Sperry here.

I dont own a pair. Too pedestrian for me.

this was spurred from a facebook christmas card picture of my cousin with his girlfriend. nice button down, tie, slacks... sperrys

12/5/2011 10:06:53 PM

I just bought some a few months ago

I love wearing them, not to anything formal though

12/5/2011 10:07:42 PM

They pretty much go with just about anything that is casual. Or with anything that you wear on a boat (depending on which pair of sperrys your wearing).

Same goes with rainbows...

no sock rule is in effect year round

12/5/2011 10:09:46 PM

I've had a pair for years, they still look good (had to replace the insoles a few times).

I like them a lot, screw the haters.

But if I wear them to work I do wear beige socks with them. I go no-sock any other time though. I also don't really wear them in the winter.

Not a fan.
Not in the club.
Don't care for them stylistically.
Will probably buy some when I'm like 46 though so people know that I'm into boating and think I'm cool.

I wear Sperrys anytime of the year...but I mostly wear them in the summer when it's raining.

12/5/2011 10:13:24 PM

I haven't worn my leather pair in probably 3 years.

I do wear my canvas pair a lot in the summer though.

12/5/2011 10:15:13 PM

comfort could fall in the cornhole category

12/5/2011 10:16:00 PM

they're good to wear when you're catching catfish



or bass



or shooting squirrels at long range

12/5/2011 10:17:59 PM

too fratty

12/5/2011 10:18:22 PM

thought this was about

12/5/2011 10:19:23 PM

too frat to care

12/5/2011 10:22:54 PM

^^OMGAH! YOU TOO?!?!


Haha jk...you're probably the only one who first thought it was some random piece of some sort of machinary...

But then again at the same time you probably thought of the shoes too, and then you thought of that thing, whatever it is...but acted like you first thought of that to be different...good job!




Also, while I get the 'too fratty' opinion at the same time I kinda don't.

you wish you were too fratty

12/5/2011 10:25:39 PM

^^No age limit at all. Same goes with rainbows....

Sanuks, I would put an age limit on them...maybe

12/5/2011 10:27:05 PM

^^im assuming you need to add ^^ that to your post?

^ so tie, slacks, blazer at a wedding? why drag down a nice look with shoes that are "casual"

nah that was just to all the sperry haters in the world

but it can go to sawahahshah too

12/5/2011 10:29:01 PM

but I'm not giving the too fratty argument


^^I wouldn't wear sperrys to a wedding unless it was an afternoon wedding outside or at the beach.

I know...but I figured I'd throw you in the mix since he assumed I was talking to you

12/5/2011 10:31:21 PM

lol. i dont hate them. just wish people would whip out some other options at certain times.

my cousins gf asked me what cole haans were lol

^^ like when it says "casual" on the invite

[Edited on December 5, 2011 at 10:32 PM. Reason : because that is what they are]

12/5/2011 10:31:41 PM

Lots of my students wear them. I don't really understand the appeal. They look silly to me.

12/5/2011 10:32:00 PM

what are cole haans?

12/5/2011 10:32:14 PM

Pretty damned ugly shoe, but I'm kinda liking that patent leather one for some reason.

12/5/2011 10:32:49 PM

i know you are smart enough to google.

12/5/2011 10:33:11 PM

12/5/2011 10:34:03 PM

hate them, look horrible.

12/5/2011 10:34:29 PM

Now if you're going for the khaki pants...then yes sperrys would be appropriate to wear for a wedding...

12/5/2011 10:34:31 PM

Most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. And ladies love them.

No. I think they are too casual for even work attire.

12/5/2011 10:36:17 PM

I only wear Allen Edmonds

12/5/2011 10:36:38 PM

like "dockers"?

12/5/2011 10:36:47 PM

horse bits make everything ok

what? most of the ones I know laugh at them. Friend of mine here wore them when we went out one night, everyone kept asking him how the shrimp business was going haha.

12/5/2011 10:39:03 PM

I would say that your "casual" wedding is not the same as a Carteret County "casual" wedding...Sperrys might not be the best move...

Since moving back down here I've found that pretty much everything, even the dress up moments, are fairly casual. Wearing Sperrys is pretty much accepted anywhere you go.

12/5/2011 10:39:28 PM

lol he said dockers

[Edited on December 5, 2011 at 10:45 PM. Reason : ^]

12/5/2011 10:44:55 PM

wedding?? the most casual shoe i would ever wear to a wedding would look something like:


[Edited on December 5, 2011 at 10:45 PM. Reason : I guess except for a beach wedding ]

12/5/2011 10:45:21 PM

Dockers and sperrys... A match made in heaven

12/6/2011 8:50:14 AM

I don't know why Dockers make me giggle

12/6/2011 8:58:01 AM

I'm wearing Sperrys right now.

12/6/2011 9:16:32 AM

but gucci bit loafers over everything though

12/6/2011 9:16:49 AM

my mom and my sister wore sperrys

enough for me not to.

Any time you are not on a boat.

/Only applies to Sperry boat shoes, I don't know if they have others

Obviously techno/rave kids don't like Sperrys.

I don't see anything wrong with them, I just don't like them that much personally. I don't think they're that comfortable.

12/6/2011 9:53:31 AM

I was big into Sperry's a few years back, but these days its pretty much Margiela or nothing
