I bought these to wear with my Authentic Original Sperry's... I hate to wear them in the summer without socks and then they start to smell... But I've hated the generic low socks that I've bought so that I can achieve the "no sock" look with shorts and dresses. They usually slip down at the heal, and I spend all day pulling them up and re-adjusting... So I thought, well sperry should know how to make them fit well with their boat shoes - they've been around long enough to have experimented.
And now I have the sperry socks... My first observation was that the material felt nice, and that the color looked like what I expected. The next thing I noticed was that the sperry logo was on the same side of each sock... Instead of on the outside of each sock... It was on the inside of my left and the outside of my right. This isn't a deal breaker or anything, but it bothers me a bit. As for fit, my foot is a women's size 10 - therefore on the larger end of the recommended scale, and the sock fits as such... As in just barely got it around my large hoof. It's not uncomfortable, but it is clinging for dear life. The one surprise was on the inside heal - there is a bit of soft rubber to help the sock stay on. I definitely appreciate that bit - it helps with the clinging. After wearing it with my Sperry's for several hours - I did have to re-adjust a couple of times, but not as often as the generic skimmer socks. Overall, I like them, but probably won't buy any more. I might just chance the stinky shoes.
