Why Sperry earned a B
About Sperry
Sperry invented the boat shoe back in the 1930s, and even though the catalog has expanded into sneakers, boots, and rain gear, that non-slip, saltwater-ready shoe is still what most people picture when they hear the name. The siping pattern on the soles — the little cuts that grip wet surfaces — is a detail the brand still leans on in its marketing.
A 60-day window is on the longer side for footwear, and in-store returns are free, but mailing something back costs a flat $6.95 whether it's one pair or three. Original packaging and receipt are required, so don't toss the box if there's any chance you'll return the shoes. Coastal and prep-adjacent dressers are the classic customer, though the sneaker lines pull in a broader crowd now.
