I think their policy of "Final Sale" is a deterrent to returning customers. The site does make it clear that the item you are buying is not returnnable.
While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

I recently purchased a pair of Sperry boots through their website. They were offering 15% off for new first time customers. I placed the order as a guest and checked off to receive text and email sale... See more
Good product, terrible customer service. Slow responses, generic replies, and no real effort to resolve issues. Orders never arrive on time, and when delays happen, there’s little to no communi... See more
I have always liked their shoes but it seems it’s under new ownership and they not only don’t show reviews of their products, they discourage reviews. My most recent purchase was a “final sale” so no... See more

Terrible Customer Service Experience
I received a notification that my order had been delivered. I was home and went promptly to my porch to grab the shoes. They were not there. I waited knowing that sometimes a driver will mark delivered earlier than actual delivery. I waited, checking periodically. Clearly, the driver left the package on the wrong porch. I called Sperry's customer service line and was told they would open an “investigation” with the carrier to try to recover the package. I heard nothing after a few days - I contacted customer service again to see what was happening with my order. I was told I would have to wait a couple more days because of the investigation. I heard nothing and on the 4th day – I made the contact with customer service again. I was told that FedEx was unable to recover the package so a refund was processed the previous day and it would take 2-5 business days for me to see it in my account. No one had the courtesy to follow up with me.
I do a lot of online shopping. I have only had one other package go missing. My experience with that company was vastly different. I called them and they immediately sent a replacement to me. I was not asked to wait while an investigation was conducted. I was not inconvenienced by the further delay in receiving the item I had ordered. They communicated well and I received excellent customer service.
I am terribly disappointed in Sperry's customer service. I was continually told by the customer service dept that it was the carrier’s issue. How Sperry chooses to handle their customers is on them not the carrier. My issues have not been the lost package, which is of course on the carrier - my issues are with the lack of customer service.
I would not order from them again.
Inconsistent
Some of their shoes are very nice. Others are fine. Some of their customer service reps are great. Others are not. Some shoes dig into your heels and make them bleed, ruining the shoes.
Their sizing is super inconsistent. It is impossible for me to know what to order because I have worn 10s that fit well, and 9.5s and 9s that have been way too big, but also 9.5s that fit well.
You can get a nice pair of Sperry shoes at a good price, but it is often a dice roll.
Sperry’s website was user friendly
Sperry’s website was user friendly. I had a return and the process was very easy to use. Great prices and quick shipping especially during the holiday season.
I've had great experiences with Sperry
I've had great experiences with Sperry. I bought a pair of shoes one time and they broke. Forget to send them back right away and we sent them back to Sperry 2 years later. They sent us a $70 gift card in no time. Just ordered 2 new pairs of shoes and they have solid quality.
Very cute!
Fit as expected. Very cute. As noted, probably not designated for colder temperatures.
