Boat Sperry

Sperry topsiders have long been a hyper popular shoe: they are very comfortable and stylish. Combining this model with other outfits is quite simple: shoes that vaguely resemble moccasins are suitable for both women and men. It is a versatile assistant in creating the everyday look of any fashionable person.

Topsiders appeared a long time ago, and now their dizzying career is at its peak. Let's remember how this branded shoe came about and what to wear it with.

History

The founder of the label, Paul Sperry, was born into a family of hereditary sailors. The boy grew up listening to the stories of his great-grandfather about his incredible adventures in the southern seas. These stories became the foundation of young Paul's inventive spirit, as well as his passion for sailing and his curiosity for adventure.

Traveling on raging seas once nearly cost Paul Sperry his life: the slippery deck was a vivid experience that he will never forget. After that, he began a long search for a solution to the problem. One day, in 1935, watching his dog move effortlessly on the ice, Paul was inspired to create something similar to what was worn on the paws of his pet - something with rubber soles. At that moment, the idea was born to create Topsiders, which received the name of their inventor. Then they were proudly called "boats".

Design and technology

The Sperry company is still a leader in the manufacture of quality and modern topsiders. How do they do it?

Marine shoes were created for several purposes: to relieve stress from the legs, lower back and back. The unique construction of the last allows you to relax your muscles and correctly distribute the load. Initially, topsiders only relieved stress from the strong vibration of the ship's engine, but the developers did not want to stop there, having done something more. The athletic shoe now delivers impressive cushioning on the ground as well as slippery surfaces. It is suitable for sportsmen, fishermen, boaters and sailors, as well as for anyone who wants to stand out from the crowd and follow the fashion trends.

Models

As we have already noted, Boatmen are shoes for every person, regardless of gender and age. The variety of models allows a true fashionista and fashionista to look unique, without forgetting about comfort. Despite the huge selection of goods, there are classic variations of this shoe with their own original names. Here they are:

  • Authentic and original Two-Tone 2-Eye Boat Shoe
  • Ultralight Billfish 3-Eye Boat Shoe
  • Cruz 2-eye boat sneaker
  • CVO Sneaker by Jeffrey
  • Sabrina Loafer Scottish Version
  • Bahamas Sparkle 2-Eye
  • Striper CVO Chukka Sneaker

Material and color

Sperry Top-Siders are made up of four main parts: rubber outsole, leather, metal and cotton. All of these pieces are cleverly combined into one pair of shoes that look amazing. In recent years, it has become very popular to purchase suede models that are practical, elegant and chic. They perfectly complement the casual style.

As for the color, the choice is quite varied, but there are also favorites. The earliest shades of shoes were navy blue, green, olive and tartan. Most of the male topside fans prefer Sahara, deep blue and classic brown. Girls prefer lighter models: the leaders are pale blue, white and gray options. For some reason, many buyers avoid black.

When choosing shoes in a nautical style for yourself, you should take into account the wardrobe as a whole. Then a suitable shade will come to mind.

What to wear with?

Sperry, in fact, was never worn with socks, but in recent years this rule has become increasingly violated. These “boots” are an example of the Prep style, but given the tendency to mix different styles, fashion prohibitions can be ignored.

Here are some ideas for pairing stylish shoes with other clothing.

  1. The gray Topsiders can be easily paired with a floral top or blouse and cropped jeans or pants. A very comfortable and shiny bow.
  2. Sperries look good with denim. You can pair denim shorts with a denim shirt by complementing your look with light brown shoes. If you are not a denim lover, you can replace it with light clothes made of soft blue fabric.
  3. Boatmen are nautical shoes, so clothing must match. Put on a striped top, a long white vest, navy blue or red pants or shorts, and the look of the sea wolf is ready!
  4. The trend to wear sports shoes with skirts has become quite a popular move. Skirts of a bright color or with a colorful print are ideal for topsiders. The length of the hem can be any, from ultra-short options to maxi models.
  5. Don't be afraid to wear different styles of skirts such as ruffles, denim skirts, or romantic dresses. The only inappropriate option may be a classic sheath dress, which does not harmonize too much with the Sperry models. They give a neat yet more relaxed look.
  6. Top-siders can be worn with long knee-highs, wool sweaters and coats. An innovative development of the company - a model with heels - ideal for creating a cute and feminine look.
