Get the white bottom ones if going on someone's yacht. Most boat owners wouldn't let you wear the dark sole shoe since it's impossible to get the scuff marks out. Also probably why the white bottoms have the channels for better grip in wet conditions.
always want to have one pair at least, since i love this model so much. my first pair of vans is zapato back in high school, which is similar to sperry top-sider.
I did notice a size difference but I also compared two pairs of the winterized lined corduroy Leewards to a pair of Black Watch a/os in the same size. Before I buy a larger size in the a/o black watch I was curious if anyone can speak to the size difference. I literally couldn’t even squeeze into the a/os whereas the leewards fit like a glove and even accommodated socks (it’s cool out) after a couple weeks of wear, though I prefer the barefoot look tbh. Thanks for the informative video and for any advice!
The ridges in the leeward are a failure point on the shoe. I have a pair in PERFECT condition above the sole. The ridges have cracked in one spot on the right shoe allowing water intrusion from the bottom on a wet day outside. Effectively ruining the shoe.
Top-notch video -- answered pretty much all my questions about what distinguishes A/O from Leeward. Much appreciated!
How can it be said authentic originals when they are not made in America anymore?

I buy the Sarah model with leather laces all the time. Only thing they get these weird marks on them that ruin them.

Like the Pikachu in the background and I own several pairs of sperrys, I never get tired of them.
wish you would have described which is more substantial for wide feet with low arches
.
I love the ao model best and I was wonder if you could do a on foot no socks with each and every pair of sperrys you own
This video helped me so much
Thanks nice content, i think i will buy the originals. I like better the general look with the almost same soles color instead of white soles.

That’s some great insight, thank you!

If you buy direct from Sperry they have a warranty. My Sperry Authentic Shoes have lasted years. They are tough as Nails.
Your comparison is good.
