About
Next time you nearly bust your ass on a slick surface, tip your hat to Paul Sperry for making the boat shoes that came in with the epic save. After slipping off his boat into the cold Long Island Sound in 1934, the avid sailor swore he’d never let a slippery ship deck stand in the way of his love for the open ocean. So, he set out to design a shoe that would keep its grip even on wet decks. As folks who are always up for some waterfront action, we’ve racked up plenty of reasons to thank Paul Sperry. From the Authentic Original Boat Shoe with its no-slip Wave-Siping™ outsoles to the quick-drying Cloud CVO canvas deck sneakers, his lineup has become our go-to whether we’re casting lines off the dock or dodging puddles on the way to work. We’ve got all our favorites right here—and they’re ready to help you tackle any adventure with the sure-footed confidence of a seasoned sea captain.
