Sperry Men's Mako 2-Eye Boat Shoe

The Sperry Top-Sider story began on a raw winter day in New England when avid sailor and hobbyist inventor Paul Sperry let his dog Prince out for his daily exercise and noticed that the cocker spaniel was remarkably stable, even at a full run on the snow covered, icy crust. Inspired, Paul raced back to his laboratory to begin working. Using pieces of rubber, a razor blade, and an ordinary sneaker, Paul had soon pieced together the prototype of the world's first boat shoe.

With the introduction of the original Sperry Top-Sider, now known as the Authentic Original, the company has been the leading brand of footwear for those who love the water since 1935. From its introduction of the world's first siped rubber outsole for non-marking traction, to its advanced technical fabrication to combat the elements, Sperry Top-Sider remains the vanguard of high-performance amphibious footwear.

The classic boat shoe featured in this item is no exception, boasting a 360-degree lacing system with rust-proof eyelets and a logo patch on the tongue. The padded tongue and collar provide enhanced comfort, while the dual-density bottom with a cushioned midsole offers under-foot comfort. Shock-absorbing EVA in the heel further contributes to the comfort, and the non-marking rubber outsole with razor-cut Wave-Siping ensures reliable traction.

With these features, the Mako is designed to be as rugged as a shark, making it the world's first boat shoe built for such demanding conditions. Sperry Top-Sider's footwear can be found in fine independent, marine, and department stores around the globe, and the brand is the official footwear of the U.S. Sailing Team, Zodiac Academy, the World Billfish Series, and the Shimano Fishing Tour.

The product's fabric type is 100% Leather, and the care instructions specify machine wash. The origin of the item is Imported, and the sole material is Rubber.

In summary, the Mako boat shoe from Sperry Top-Sider combines classic style with advanced comfort and performance features, making it a versatile choice for those who love the water. With a heritage dating back to 1935 and a reputation for innovation, Sperry Top-Sider continues to set the standard for high-quality, amphibious footwear.
