Meet our curated collection of kicks. Sperry has been an American favorite since 1935, when Paul Sperry, inspired by his dog Prince's ability to run nimbly over ice and snow, used a penknife to cut into the outsole of a rubber sneaker to improve traction. From the New England company comes the boat shoe that started it all. This pint-sized version is sewn by hand and crafted using premium materials like full-grain leathers, Ortholite® cushioning and a sleek rubber outsole that hangs on to just about anything. Leather upper. Rubber outsole. Spot clean. Imported. Select stores.
