About 4 years ago I had bought a Sperry from JC Penney clearance and loved it. However, this pair is a lamb in comparison. It is poorly made and does not justify the price. When putting them on, the sides kind of fold in unless I use a shoe horn. These are more comparable to a similar pair which I bout online for about $30. To say the least, I am disappointed. I am putting this review after some use.
