Come summer and you start
worrying about smelly sweaty feet and the discomfort of having to walk around
in closed shoes the whole day long. That’s where the Sperry shoes help.
What’s more, they can be worn with just about anything and to any occasion,
with great aplomb.
How it all began
The shoes were first born out of necessity when Paul Sperry the
founder of the shoe company decided to create anti skid shoes for his fellow
boatmen and himself. He stuck a handmade sole carved with the herringbone
design onto the sole of his regular sneakers and tried it. It worked very
well and was skid proof too. That heralded the beginning of
Sperry shoes!
Features
Some specific features distinguish the Sperry shoes from the
others. The upper portion above the sole is generally made of leather and is
hand sewn. They sport leather laces or synthetic laces. As they have only toe
of three lace chinks, they are easy to slip on and worn without socks. The
soles are generally ribbed in the herringbone pattern to prevent from
slipping.
Usage mode
They are most suited for the summers and since summers are hot and
sweaty, they are best worn without socks. But, if you don’t feel comfortable
without socks, wear a light pair. The usage mode is up to you. On
slightly cooler days, they can be worn without socks. Though the fit snugly
rarely do they cause blisters when worn without socks. They come in sprightly
colors and can easily be teamed with any attire to present a “cool cucumber”
look.
