Sperry Men's Original 2-Eye Boat Shoes(Open Box)

DONT BUY!!! Usually, I am a diligent consumer online concerning reading reviews but, because I have been a lifelong Sperry customer, I didn't follow my own rules. First thing was, they were the wrong color. I thought I ordered the wrong ones. Nope. Ok, simple mistake, but then as I am reading the reviews I noticed this wasn't my mistake but a mistake of Sperry. It has happened multiple times. There was a consistency. Then, the reviews were talking about the quality of the product. I took them out of the box and the first thing I noticed was the quality. Cheap, dyed, thin, hard imitation-feeling leather. I don't know how other can give this shoe a favorable rating; maybe they aren't used to the quality of shoe that I am accustomed to in a Sperry product. It's truly sad because I loved Sperry. One more thing, the seller has made it harder to return the product by limiting the options in the return process. So there's that. Amazon did step up to the plate and come to rescue concerning a return, but I still dont have the shoe that I had wore for 25 years and i cant wear these so I guess I will donate them. Sperry do better
