Sperry Top-Siders

There are certain things that (whether we want to admit it or not) stereotypically define demographic groups. It is hard to think of Ralph Lauren polo shirts, khaki pants, and Sperry Top-Siders without envisioning the quintessential preppy frat boy or girl.

I am as far from that mold as you could get, but Jack & Buffi have a point. I love the shoes - always have, always will. At 47 years, I am on only the third pair of Sperrys I have ever owned. Worn 28 out of 30 days each month, they are comfortable, water proof and durable. They are getting somewhat dirty, but that can be fixed.

I estimate that these shoes will last at least another two years before it is time to move on.
