An American Original

Sperry Top-Sider has been an American favorite since 1935 when Paul Sperry, inspired by his dog Princešs ability to run nimbly over ice and snow, used a pen knife to cut siping into the outsole of a rubber sneaker. This ingenuity, along with the iconic inspiration of other design details, launched an American Original. Our mission is to share this unique story with a new generation that will embrace our brand because of its heritage, authenticity and optimistic personality.

Authentic Performance

From the beginning we have been obsessed with quality. We are water enthusiasts creating high performance footwear for people like us that are passionate about the thrill of pursuits on the water. We are inspired every day by the innovative spirit of our founder, and just like Paul, we are all ocean people.

Enduring Style

Every one has favorites in their closet; a pair of faded jeans, a cashmere sweater or your lucky sneakers. They convey a sense of style that is always relevant and make us feel relaxed and comfortable. Confident in ourselves, the choices we make and the lifestyle we lead.
