Sperry Top-Sider Men's Billfish 3-Eye Boat Shoe Review

The product I ordered was excellent, however the service was the worst I have ever experienced.

I order this item on Dec 3, 2007, and was notified I would receive this in 3 to 4 business days. This I was notified that this item was on backorder and I would receive it on December 12th.

This is a Christmas gift and I did not receive it till December 30th. I inquired on this item on several occasions and was always assured I would receive it before Christmas, and needless to say I did not.

I will never order from this vendor again.

Sperry Top-Sider Men's Nautical Seaport Penny Loafer Review

I was looking for a pair of black loafers, but I couldn't pass up the deal with these dark brown (with a slight cordovan color mixed in) shoes. I have cordovan loafers, and these are a nice alternative on days when I want more brown (than redish)in my shoes, although they are not totally brown (which is fine with me). I suppose that's the difference between bourbon and cordovan. I got these shoes on sale (in the $25 range), and they are worth at least twice what I paid. Now that I have them and see how good they are, I would have paid up to $50. The fit is comfortable (and this is from someone who has difficulty wearing loafers). Only "caveat" is to someone who is looking for loafers with a high-gloss shine to wear for a dressy occasion; these are not the ones for you. They are nice enough to wear with a suit to work, or for business casual. However, they are not like my Bostonian cordovan loafers that have a shiny finish. Overall, I am very pleased with these shoes.
