Best known for boat shoes that have logged more milesof open ocean than any other brand, the Sperry Top-Sider story began on a rawwinter day in New England. When avid sailor and hobbyist inventor Paul Sperrylet his dog Prince out for his daily exercise, he noticed that the cockerspaniel was remarkably stable, even at a full run on the snow covered, icycrust. Paul raced back to his laboratory to begin working. Using pieces ofrubber, a razor blade, and an ordinary sneaker, Paul had soon pieced togetherthe prototype of the world's first boat shoe. Subsequent designs yielded theoriginal Sperry Top-Sider now known as the Authentic Original. Since 1935,Sperry Top-Sider has been the leading brand of footwear for those who love thewater.
