text: Update: After wearing these for the past year and a half, they have proven to be my favorite pair of Sperry's thus far. They stretched a little, and now form-fit to my feet. I can walk in them all day and not get one blister. They are my go-to shoes now for work as well as for going out with friends and going to dinner. I wish I would have purchased them in other colors while I had the chance!<br /><br />I'd had my eye on these shoes for a long time, and finally took the plunge and bought them at a great price from TJ Maxx. They are very classy looking, and I love the Navy color! I did notice when trying on my normal size 9.5 that they seemed a little snugger in the toe than my other Sperry's. As I only intend to wear these to work, and sit at a desk most of the day, this doesn't bother me. However, if you are intending to be walking in them all day, I might suggest you giving a half size above your normal a try to ensure maximum comfort. The construction of the shoe is very sturdy, and the leather is very soft. Overall, I'd give these 4.5 star since I love everything about them aside from them being a bit snug.
