Sperry · Men's Shoes
Gold Cup Prescott Boat Shoes
Boat shoes are back and the Gold Cup is the one worth owning.
The Gold Cup line is Sperry taking itself seriously: better leather, cushioned footbed, a shape that does not look like a school uniform. Grey is the smart colour choice because it does not read as hard nautical, so he can wear them off the boat too.
Our rating
4.6 out of 5
Boat shoes are back and the Gold Cup is the one worth owning — hand-sewn, cork-cushioned, and a genuine step above the standard Sperry. Ages into something better. Leather soles are slippery on a wet deck, ironically.
