Make Waves
A man, a boat, and a dog. The Sperry Story
From one stubborn man's refusal to let slippery ship decks stand in
the way for
his love of the open ocean to the iconic modern‑prep powerhouse
it is today.
The MVPs
How it all began. At the center of our innovation, these 3 tried
and true styles are our past, our present, and our future.
1935 Circular Vamp Oxford
The CVO becomes the world's first non-slip deck
shoe made with quick-drying cotton. In 1940,
it became the official footwear for the casual
uniform of the United States Navy.
1937 Top-Sider
Following the CVO's design, Sperry creates
a
leather version. Today, the Top-Sider is
known
as the Authentic Original Boat Shoe
and is
our most popular silhouette.
1940's Captain's Oxford
The first casual shoe designed specifically
for
Captains. This style flaunts a higher
profile and
thicker sole for a more
sophisticated look.
