Sperry Brogue Shoes

by Romano as "the garagerocker" in Selected (on February 2, 2012)

These derbies are part of my winter sales purchases. They are surprisingly coming from Sperry which is better known as a boat shoes brand. I have been hunting for this kind of shoes for a few time, they looked cool and they were nicely discounted so I decided to take them!

Upper is made of tan suede leather with wingtip brogue details. Sole is rubber made with a cushioning system added from the heel, guaranteeing a certain comfort. And they also are non-slip, featuring the Sperry’s classic system called “Wave-Siping” for an “ultimate wet/dry traction”. Leather laces are the same usually used on Sperry’s boat shoes, reminding the brand’s core identity. I guess that is why they called the model Boat Oxford… ;)

Even at the very first outing I could walk during a whole day without any difficulty. The shoes are quite light (9oz) as you can even run with them! Then we’ve got: stylish, comfortable, light and affordable… enough reasons to justify such a purchase.
