Did Sperry stop putting leather laces in their Topsiders?

As someone who has been wearing Sperrys for 10 years, I'm not happy. I've had my most recent pair (with leather laces) for a couple of years. Now I can't find any. They have the same style, but with the string laces. What in the frick? Not frat.

Frat or not frat they are great boat shoes. I just find they get a little smelly when you wear them too often sans socks- as I always do when fishing. Hope they didn't frick with the laces.

My Sperrys have looked good for the last 10 years. Now they are fricking up a good thing.

Yea I'm serious. I've never had a bad experience with them

If you can recommend a better one, let me know. I don't change once I find something that works so I'm prolly way behind on better shoes.

Every pair I've had falls apart quickly. I've had a pair of Allen Edmond boat shoes for about 3 years now and they're in great shape. I just ordered a new pair of AE boat shoes and drivers. Way better than any Sperry I've ever put on my foot.

I have some great gold ones and Leopard pony hair ones

I love mine. But if you don't like the new style, buy what looks good. Grow up

Someone blonde and fair skinned who burns easily. I can't go like some of you people. My nephew can fish all day shirtless, shoeless, and with little sunscreen and he's fine. I'd burn like a ginger in the surface of the sun if I did that
